Julie_L, Feb 2026
Driver was easily located outside the White Bay Cruise Terminal - he was holding up a sign and then, when the other party arrived, he lad us to the Shuttle and we had a quick trip to the City and then the Airport. He was very helpful with the baggage.

Reserve with extra time For Pickup

Neil_J, Feb 2026
Apparently this operator is fairly inflexible about what he pick up time. I also noticed in their confirmation/reminder the day before the listed everything except the time of pick up. They listed date, location and contact info. I made this reservation 11 months in advance and did not remember the pick up time I listed. Fortunately we managed to get off the cruise ship early so we managed to meet our driver, who was 15 minutes late. When you make you reservation allow extra time just in case. This was in Sydney, Australia Otherwise transport to the airport was fine.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thanks for your feedback. Pickup times are clearly shown on the voucher and coordinated for shared shuttle services based on cruise disembarkation times and other passengers. As noted in the booking details, exact pickup times are confirmed a day prior and may require brief waiting for coordination. On the day, the driver arrived within the agreed pickup window. We’re glad the transfer to the airport was otherwise satisfactory.

Seamless airport transfer

Vendor easily available for contact via Viator app

Dolores_P, Nov 2025
Viator was very flexible, responsive, and able to upgrade our shuttle to private pick up (as time was of the essence) at a reasonable fee.

Good system

Penni_C, Oct 2025
Friendly - helpful service after getting off the cruise ship. Easy to find a person who had the needed information of next steps.

The baggage area in the...

Allan_C, Oct 2025
The baggage area in the van was too small for the number of passengers. Bags were loaded above the headrests which is dangerous in event of sudden stop. Of course when the lift was opened a number fell out.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for your feedback. Please note that at no point was there any danger to passengers. Our team ensured all luggage was safely secured during the transfer. However, our shared shuttle service has a standard luggage capacity per passenger, as outlined in the booking conditions. If travelling with excessive or oversized luggage, we ask that you advise us in advance or book additional shuttles so we can make proper arrangements.

Great shuttle from dock to airport

Henry_O, Apr 2025
Our driver Edward was at the dock prior to the set time and gave us a drop off option at the airport that helped us catch our flight. Very efficient and helpful.

No show Shutter ride

Lizzie_J, Mar 2025
When we departed the ship, the shutter ride driver was not there. We were told no one had seen anyone from the company waiting, so one of the port porters called the company for us at 8:00 am. The driver claimed he was there but left. As a result, we had to take a taxi to the airport because our flight was leaving at 10:05 am.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

It is important to have your phone switched on. Pickup time was scheduled for 07:30 am. 7 out of 9 passengers were on time. We have waited an extra 15 minutes and shuttle has left at 7:45 am. Unfortunately, your phone was switched off and we couldn't reach you.

PennyH, Feb 2025
Driver was prompt and courteous. Communications were excellent and often to insure that we were aware of what kind of vehicle to be looking for and the tag number.

Exactly as Advertised.

LaurieLee_S, Jan 2025
Communication was exactly as outlined in the booking. We received email with time 1 day before. Driver arrived exactly on time and texted when he arrived. It was easy to locate him in a crowded chaotic port pick up area. Comfortable vehicle and professional driver.

Definitely go Sydney shuttle!

Cheryl_F, Dec 2024
We were picked up on time and seamlessly transported to and from the airport as expected. We were very satisfied.

Great job Viator.

Sharyon_B, Dec 2024
Driver punctual, no hassle finding him, was early and he was already there. Will choose to use this mode of transport again when needed.

Airport shuttle was reasonably priced

OscarLarry_R, Nov 2024
Shuttle pickup from cruise port to airport provided ample time for us to make our flight back home. We did not have email service on the cruise ship but the shuttle driver was successful reaching us by text messaging.

Reliable and friendly

Debbie_F, Mar 2024
Great service, notifying us a few days before our transfer and on the morning of updating us with ETA. A little crowded but still comfortable. A very friendly driver, even checking if anyone needed the bathroom before the drive to the airport.

The happy driver
