When you land

To ensure speedy processing and less contact with other persons, we currently operate from the Police Station dock at the Simpson Bay lift bridge (a 5 minute drive from the airport).

We are the only passenger vessel using this dock so there is no crowding and no waiting for other vessels to clear.

A certified taxi driver will personally meet you at the airport terminal and bring you to the dock. Ground transfer costs are already included in your rate.
