Nice ride from the airport to Cairns. There is no public fodder, so a taxi ride with a local is a nice experience. Our driver (unfortunately forgot her name) was ready at the baggage claim. The suitcases came out only an hour later, meanwhile we learned all about Cairns while chatting. From the ride she also made a nice tourist route along the illuminated boulevard (sun was down), night market and some nice points. Highly recommended.

Was picked up at the organised time and Maddie was so professional and lovely to meet. She made us feel comfortable, welcomed & safe. She offered us cold bottled water with some light refreshments which was a delight after a plane trip! Beautiful clean shuttle. Very pleasant experience, highly recommend. 💓

Excellent service from Maddie. Waiting for us at the airport and kept us informed of our return pick up. We had a wheelchair user in our party and the accessible taxi was great. Would highly recommend.

My sister and I recently booked a couple trips to and from the Cairns airport with Maddie (owner of Coral Coast Transport) and had a fantastic experience! We heard that Ubers around the airport aren't always abundant and dependable (drivers often cancel trips because they haven't completed the required paperwork and fee to do ride-share at the airport), so we looked into Coral Coast Transport. We arrived via a delayed flight around midnight on 12/27 and were so grateful that Maddie was punctual, professional, and very personable. She had the latest status on the popular attractions, that had unfortunately been impacted by the cyclone, and gave us recommendations on what we could do during our short stay. Needless to say, we highly recommend booking with Coral Coast Transport for dependable and professional service around Cairns. Thanks Maddie!

We used Coral Coast Transport multiple times during our visit to Cairns had a fantastic experience each time. They arrived right on time and Maddelene was an absolute pleasure to chat with. Out of our entire trip to both NZ and Australia, Coral Coast was easily our favorite transport service. Highly Recommended.

I had an AMAZING trip with Maddie when I was up in Cairns on a friends vacation. Maddie was punctual, friendly and we had such a great time sightseeing. She took us around to great locations and told us all about the city. Would highly recommend!

We were referred to Madelene at the last moment by another driver after our initial transport failed to meet us as we were late arriving into Cairns and they could no longer accommodate us. We were initially quite stressed being a family of 6 and feeling let down by our other tour operator however Madelene was fortunately available and was able to accommodate our booking last moment. What can we say other then we were eternally grateful and commend her on both her personal appearance and the immaculate condition of her vehicle on that day. Madelene was extremely friendly and a wealth of information on the local region and offered to stop at some of the points of interest along the journey to Port Douglas including the balancing rocks and Rex look out. The highlights of the trip. We immediately rebooked our return transfer and look forward to seeing a friendly smiling and familiar face. We will be definitely using Coral Coast Transport again when we next visit and can not highly recommend them enough. Thanks Madelene. Courtney, Dave & the family. ✨💛
