Boat Transfers from Whitsundays Airport to Daydream Island

Once you’ve flown into the majestic farmland of Proserpine, find yourself a transfer through one of our favourite transfer companies, Airlie Beach Tours and Transfers. Hot tip! Getting a private transfer through them can save you up to an hour of travel time.

If you’re heading to the Whitsundays to get away from the hustle and bustle and be on your own schedule we recommend organising a private charter boat transfer. We pick you up from Shute Harbour and in a scenic 15 minute transfer you arrive at your tropical paradise. There’s no waiting for others or scrambling to find the best seat with the best view.

For groups of 8, or of more than 15 this could be the most affordable option for you. Book your transfer here.

The Cruise Whitsundays Ferry is a great transfer option if you’re already staying at Airlie Beach. They have two ferries from Airlie Beach per day before 4pm. Transfers to Daydream will cost you $38 per person and take approximately 30 minutes.

After hours transfer from Proserpine to Daydream Island

If your flight arrives into Whitsundays Airport after the last ferry and when it is too late for a helicopter transfer then we are here to help. We will do transfers at any time for any size group. Book your transfer here.

Hot tip! Flights that land after 3pm will miss the last ferry of the day. Book with us and we will have your relaxing on the beach at Daydream Island in no time.
