Very easy to check-in after our flight and easy locating the minibus. Easy drive down to Airlie Beach and drop off was right near our hostel. Our driver was lovely and cheerful. We even saw her the day after and she happily waved at us, it was very wholesome! Price was very good value for money with how hassle free you guys made it. Thankyou!

Stressless part of our travel!

natalie_d, Apr 2026
Our flight from Brisbane was diverted to Mackay due to weather and these guys were absolute gems! With the choas & uncertainty of how Jetstar was getting us to Proserpine, Heart of the Reef made me feel like one part of our journey was covered and I didnt have to stress... even with such a late evening arrival (eventually) Communication was amazing and staff friendly and helpful. Thank u. Absolutely recommend

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hey Peter Thank so much for taking the time for leaving us a fantastic review! We hope to see you again in the Whitsundays :)

Did the job.

Marrion_W, Oct 2025
Did the job. Shuttle bus was very uncomfortable. There were a few pick ups so it was a long trip. We used another company going in. A little more expensive, much more comfortable

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Marrion We are sorry to hear you were uncomfortable, however you were one of our newer buses and you booked on the shared shuttle which means, there are other stops along the way to get to the airport. The other option when travelling next is maybe a private transfer with your own vehicle. If you wish to discuss this further please feel free to contact our office 07 4948 2385

Punctual and comfortable

On time arrival

Alan_S, Mar 2024
Got us to the airport on time and safely. Thought driver drove a bit fast likely due to the number of stops he had to make. Lots of up and down hill pickups put a lot of strain on the vehicle breaking system and transmission.

would recommend it.
