Driver was very friendly and informative. Bus was easy to find and got us there in good time. Would recommend it as an easy transfer to Port Douglad
Efficient service

Service provided was punctual and extremely efficient in planing of pick ups and drop offs at various locations. Wayne our driver, an interactive tour guide type, provided ongoing information about the area throughout our scenic drive from Port Douglas to Cairns. And he had a good sense of humour. Well recommend and a great scenic drive along the Captain Cook Highway.

Great driver. Gave commentary but needs a mic. We were in back row so couldn’t hear.
Our plane was early so had to wait 45 mins for bus.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Hi Susan_R
Apologies for the wait at the airport. Recently long baggage delays and late aircraft have been the norm!
I will be sure to speak to our fleet manager about the mic; they are normally onboard.
Our drivers are friendly and cheerful, and always do their best to assist. Thanks for your feedback.
Clean and comfortable, not direct to PD

The driver was lovely, unfortunately I was under the impression that it was direct to port Douglas and after a 4am wake up with 2 kids and 2 flights, I was a bit frustrated that it went via Palm Cove to drop people off too. Still, we got here in the end and it was a clean, comfortable shuttle.
Response from Host , May 2022
Hello Kate_P. We are pleased your driver made the trip pleasant. We have never said we do direct to Port Douglas, sorry you were under that impression.. Often at certain times of the day, usually during the busy mid day periods we can go direct, other than that we have serviced Palm Cove since 2001. The drop offs take only 5-10mins on your journey. We hope you and your family have a great holiday here.
Excellent

Plane was delayed, but our driver was still there ready to pick us up, and was very helpful and was a smooth ride
Response from Host , May 2022
Hello Graham. Thank you for your review. It has been tricky for our staff to have our services connect with delayed flights that seem to happen frequently of late. We strive hard to make it happen and have a smiling driver there to meet you. We hope you have a wonderful stay in our region.

The driver made us wait in the bus for one hour at the airport and he forgot to drop us off to our resort. Not happy at all, do not recommend!
Response from Host , Feb 2022
Hello Mustafa, Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for the inconvenience caused on your arrival and admit there were procedures not followed. Our processes and staff are being retrained as a result. Re the second point you made in your review. Our driver states he dropped you off at your hotel as booked and did not forget.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
