Garden Island to Sutherland — Private Cruise Transfers

Between Sutherland and Garden Island Cruise Terminal we operate a private door-to-door service at a fixed fare. No meter, no surge pricing and no shared seats — the car that arrives is yours for the journey.

Expect 35-55 min on the road in ordinary conditions. Because the terminal fills and empties in waves, we would rather collect you a little early than have you queue outside with your cases.

Whatever the quoted price is at booking, that is what you pay. Tolls and GST are included, there is no booking fee, and delays on the road are our problem rather than a line on your invoice.

Nothing is payable up front. On the day you can settle by card on the in-car EFTPOS terminal, which carries a 1.8% surcharge, or by cash or PayID, which do not.

On the Day of Travel

You receive an email confirmation as soon as the booking is made. Shortly before the pickup time your driver calls you directly to confirm the exact meeting point — at your Sutherland address, or at the Garden Island passenger exit. There is no app to download and no SMS chain to follow.

Your driver deals with the bags at both ends. When the count is high, the sensible move is to size up to a People Mover or Mini Bus; it costs less than a second vehicle.

Booking Both Directions

Add the return leg with the promo code and take 10% off it. Because we operate 24 hours a day, the time your ship actually docks is not a problem.

Cancellation policy: no charge when you give 24 hours’ notice or more; 50% of the fare once the driver has arrived. At non-airport pickups the driver waits up to 10 minutes.

About Garden Island Cruise Terminal

Garden Island Cruise Terminal sits at Garden Island, Potts Point NSW 2011, the overflow berth used when the OPT is full. Access is via the Domain Tunnel then Mrs Macquaries Road, and your driver will be waiting in the terminal's designated pick-up zone rather than circling the block.

Because parking is limited — shared with the Naval base, most passengers book both directions and leave the car in the driveway. It is usually cheaper than the terminal-area alternative and always simpler.

The berth handles large international vessels when the OPT is at capacity, and with 1 berth in operation the arrival window is tight. Your driver is briefed on which gate your line uses.

Before Embarkation

Garden Island to Sutherland — What to Expect

The trip between Garden Island and Sutherland is short enough to look trivial on a map and awkward enough in practice that most people book it. Cruise luggage does not fit in a hatchback, and embarkation windows do not move because traffic did.

Expect $99 for a Sedan, $119 for a Large SUV, $149 for a People Mover and $199 for a Mini Bus. One fare, one vehicle, no per-bag charges and no airport-style extras.

Book both legs together where you can. One reference number, one confirmation, and a driver already allocated for the morning you step off — which is the harder of the two directions to arrange late.

Larger parties from Sutherland can be collected from several addresses on one booking and quoted as a single fare, so everyone arrives at Garden Island together.

We hold NSW Booking Service Provider authorisation and every driver is CPV-accredited and police-checked. Cruise work is repeat work for us, and the terminals are known ground rather than an address in a satnav.
