Greyhound Australia Airlie Beach Cairns recent customer reviews
Incredibly uncomfortable seats. Should provide blankets if its an overnight, and blankets as it got cold. also my charger got stolen.
Joelle S.
Very disappointed with the first driver. He ignored my questions and concerns and showed no effort to help me. I explained that I do get bus sick and was hoping to sit near the front but just told me my seat number (13B at the very back) and moved on to the next person. I now see that seat selection was an option when booking however it never showed when I was booking. We also only got 2 breaks for the whole 10hr trip even when stopping we were told not to get off the bus. The next bus driver we picked up from cairns was great! We was very nice funny and welcoming. I would give him 5 stars.

Sat opposite a bunch of teenagers who were drinking and mucking about. Then one of them was sick all down herself.
