Route

Caloundra is the first Sunshine Coast town you reach coming north from Brisbane, which makes it the shortest of the airport runs at around seventy minutes.

We cover the whole Caloundra area — Kings Beach, Moffat Beach, Dicky Beach, Currimundi, Golden Beach, Pelican Waters and Little Mountain — dropping at your exact address rather than a central stop.

It is also the easiest base for Australia Zoo, which is about twenty-five minutes inland from Caloundra. Plenty of our Caloundra guests book the airport run and a zoo day in the same conversation.

Ways to get from Brisbane Airport to Caloundra

There is more than one way to make this trip. Here is an honest comparison so you can pick what suits your group, your luggage and your arrival time.

Public transport
Airtrain to the city, train to Landsborough, then a bus. Around two and a half hours and it involves stairs and platform changes with your bags.
Shared shuttle
Workable on this shorter route, but you still wait for the vehicle to fill and ride through other drop-offs first.
Rideshare
Availability is better on the shorter Caloundra run than the northern beaches, but you are still gambling on a driver accepting at your arrival time.
SkyDrive
Pre-booked, flight tracked, driver at arrivals with a name board, direct to your door in about seventy minutes.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Caloundra from Brisbane Airport?

About 92 kilometres, or roughly one hour ten minutes of driving in normal conditions — the shortest of the Sunshine Coast airport transfers.

Do you go to Pelican Waters and Golden Beach?

Yes, along with Kings Beach, Moffat Beach, Dicky Beach, Currimundi, Little Mountain and Aroona. It is a door-to-door service across the whole Caloundra area.

Can you take us on to Australia Zoo from Caloundra?

Yes. Australia Zoo is around twenty-five minutes from Caloundra and it is one of our most requested day trips — we can collect you, wait or return later, whichever suits.

What if there are six of us?

No problem. Our people movers seat up to eleven passengers and the price is per vehicle, so a larger group often works out better value than per-person shuttle fares.

Do you operate early morning departures?

Yes. Pre-dawn runs to catch a morning flight out of Brisbane are routine for us, 24 hours a day.
