Off the ship and straight home. Fixed-fare transfers from White Bay and Circular Quay to Wombeyan Caves — the limestone cave reserve at the end of a long mountain road, and the most remote address on our fare sheet — with the driver waiting nearby and no clock running while you queue.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle meets disembarking cruise passengers at both Sydney terminals and drives them home to Wombeyan Caves (NSW 2580) — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. White Bay Cruise Terminal at Rozelle is 165 km from the Wombeyan Caves visitor centre, about 2 hr 23 min; the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 169 km, about 2 hr 30 min. The fare is $579 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $759 for eleven in one vehicle, and it matches the sail-day fare exactly. Disembarkation is released by luggage tag rather than a published time, so there is no booked minute to miss: you message from the terminal doors and the driver comes in, with no meter running while you queue. Nothing is payable in advance. Book it with the outbound leg and the whole trip is settled. Quote on 0427 143 612.

The fare does not move because the ship docked late, because the queue was long, or because it is a Sunday. Tolls and GST are inside it. No prepayment, no card details on file. You settle it when you arrive. Fares reviewed August 2026.
The fare was set before you sailed. Whatever the morning looks like at the terminal, the number does not move.
Waiting when you land
We size the vehicle before you sail, from the cases you are taking plus whatever the holiday adds.
01
1–2 passengers
Toyota Camry, Lexus or similar
02
3–4 passengers
Kia Carnival or similar
03
5–6 passengers
LDV G10 or similar
04
7–11 passengers
Toyota HiAce or similar
Same service in all four. Whichever class meets you, the fare covers tolls and GST, the child seats are free and already fitted, the waiting is not charged for, and nothing is payable before the drive to Wombeyan Caves.
The drive home
Allow about 2 hr 23 min for the 165 km from White Bay at Rozelle to the Wombeyan Caves visitor centre, and about 2 hr 30 min for the 169 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay. Home from the wharf means the caves road at the end, in whatever light is left. We confirm the visitor centre or the specific accommodation at booking.
Getting out of the terminal precinct is the slow part on disembarkation morning, not the motorway. Once past the Anzac Bridge the run usually clears, and the whole of that allowance is inside the fare rather than on a meter.
Sailing out rather than home? Boarding-window timing and the sail-day fare are on the Wombeyan Caves cruise transfers page.
How the morning actually runs
A ship does not release everyone at once, so a cruise pickup cannot be booked to a minute. It is arranged around your message from the terminal doors instead. Here is how each part of the morning works.
No fixed pickup time and nothing to miss. The driver is nearby from early and waits for your word.
Ships arrive when they arrive. Waiting for one is part of the fare, not an extra on it.
Cancelled sailing or a changed itinerary? One message moves the booking. Nothing has been charged, so there is nothing to refund.
One message from the terminal doors is all it takes on the day.
Where we meet you
The driver stays close to the White Bay terminal and moves on your text. Nothing is charged for the wait.
The OPT sits right on the Quay with almost no waiting room, so we wait a street away and pull in when you are through.
Then it is a single drive to the door, with the cases handled at both ends. Most arrivals here are visitors returning to the reserve rather than residents. We confirm the visitor centre or the specific accommodation at booking, and we check the road before we set out.
The two terminals
White Bay at Rozelle is 165 km from Wombeyan Caves and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 169 km. Your cruise documents name the one your ship berths at; both are met on the same terms and at the same fare.
about 2 hr 23 min · Rozelle, via James Craig Rd
Home from the wharf means the caves road at the end, in whatever light is left. We confirm the visitor centre or the specific accommodation at booking. Full detail on the White Bay transfers page.
about 2 hr 30 min · Circular Quay, tightest kerb of the two
The city terminal, right on the harbour, with almost no waiting room at the kerb — which is why the driver holds nearby and comes in on your message.
$579 from either terminal. Rozelle or Circular Quay, weekday or weekend, early release or late — the fare was set by your suburb and your group size.
Get Free QuoteGetting home from the harbour
A whole ship empties into one rank inside about two hours, and the luggage rules out most of the alternatives. Worth reading before you sail rather than while you are standing there.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | What it actually involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $579 fixed | ~2 hr 23 min, door to door | one vehicle, one run home, at a number you already know |
| Train and a walk | Opal fares, plus a lift at the far end | 2 hrs or more, with the cases | White Bay has no station at all, and from Circular Quay it is a change and then still a car at the Wombeyan Caves end — with a fortnight of luggage |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~2 hr 23 min if a car accepts | no rank and no rideshare will take this run, at any hour |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~2 hr 23 min plus retrieving the car | neither terminal has long-stay parking, so it means a fortnight of inner-west parking fees and then finding the car with the cases |
Neither cruise terminal has long-stay parking of its own, and neither is reachable from Wombeyan Caves without a car at one end. The honest summary: a solo traveller with a cabin bag can make the train from Circular Quay work; two people with a fortnight of luggage cannot.
Landing as a group
Eleven disembarking passengers travel home in one vehicle for $759 — about $69 a seat, against three cars from a rank an entire ship is queuing at. Everyone leaves together, which on that morning is worth more than the saving.
Send the ship, the date, the headcount and an honest bag count. Groups coming off a cruise routinely have more luggage than the seat count implies, and it is far better to know that now than at the terminal.
The rank, honestly
Three thousand passengers come off at once and the queue reflects it. A booked driver is not in that queue.
Metered pricing on a run this long is decided by the traffic and the hour. Yours was agreed before you sailed.
A rank car that fits four people rarely fits four people's cruise luggage. Ours was chosen for it.
Why book the arrival
Two minutes at home saves the worst hour of the trip back.
Ships release by tag colour over a couple of hours, so we work off your word instead.
Customs, the hall and the queue for the lift are all free time on this booking.
Card, cash or PayID when you get home, with an invoice by email if you want one.
Duty free, gifts and a fortnight of washing all have to fit somewhere.
Capsules and boosters installed in advance.
The route home
From the terminal doors to your street: the usual run home to Wombeyan Caves.

Who you are booking with
An owner-operated transfer service based in Wollondilly Shire — the driver meeting your ship is one of ours, not a booking sold on.
ABN: 51 939 227 384
P2P service provider no: BSP-439561
Wollondilly Shire, Macarthur and the Southern Highlands, each suburb with a published cruise fare.
Sedans, Kia Carnivals, people movers and eleven-seat minibuses, chosen from your case count.
Every disembarkation, every hour — including weekends and public holidays.
One published price per suburb, the same at both terminals, with tolls and GST inside it; pickups from the terminal add $10. Nothing payable in advance.
Arrival questions
$579 for a couple, rising in fixed steps to $759 for a full minibus. Terminal pickups add a set $10 fee; there is no weekend loading.
You message us when you are actually through, and the driver comes to the terminal doors. Cruise lines call passengers down by luggage tag across a couple of hours, so there is no booked minute to miss and no penalty for a slow morning.
No meter and no clock. The fare was fixed before you sailed and the wait does not change it.
165 km and roughly 2 hr 23 min from Rozelle; 169 km and about 2 hr 30 min from the Quay. Once past the Anzac Bridge it usually runs clean.
Both terminals, same price. The OPT has the tighter kerb, which is why we wait nearby and come in on your message rather than sitting on it.
Tell us the bags when you book and we size the vehicle to them. On a disembarkation run the luggage usually outranks the passenger count.
Nothing in advance. The fare is settled when you get home, which also means a changed itinerary costs you nothing.
Yes, the address you give us is where the trip ends. Most arrivals here are visitors returning to the reserve rather than residents. We confirm the visitor centre or the specific accommodation at booking, and we check the road before we set out.
Access here is unsealed and weather-dependent, so the run is arranged in advance rather than booked blind. Talk to us about the date before you sail.
The gap is widest exactly when you need it least — a whole ship emptying into one rank inside two hours. A pre-booked vehicle is not part of that.
Yes — eleven passengers in one minibus for $759, about $69 a seat. With a full cruise load we will be straight with you about whether the luggage fits alongside the people.
Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters, all fitted before we arrive and all at no cost. We need the ages when you book.
Not with cruise luggage. White Bay has no station at all, and while Circular Quay does, reaching Wombeyan Caves from it means a change and then still a car at the far end.
Several doors in the same town is an ordinary arrangement — tell us at booking and we plan the order.
Tell us and it moves at no cost. Nothing is charged in advance, so there is no cancellation fee and nothing to refund.
You text, we come in. No calling ahead, no guessing, and no charge for the time before the message arrives.
