I needed an early morning pickup (4.20am) for hospital day admission and Mike from shoal bay shuttle service was quick to respond and didn’t hesitate on the out of hours time frame. He was on time to collect me, the ride was smooth, comfortable and clean… and was ready and waiting once I had finished to take me back home at 10.30am. Highly recommend for a stress free travel and will be using shoal bay shuttle service again when needed!

Glad to be of service!.. thanks for your review Kirsten.

Mike was fantastic! He was super understanding, we ran late to leave, he still offered to take a picture, then we ran even later leaving the restaurant and he was charming yet again!!! This is the best shuttle service in Shoal Bay. Karen

Thanks Karen! Hope to see you back in Port Stephens again before long. Appreciate your kind words!

What a great girls day out at the Hunter Valley vineyards, chauffeured by Mike. Mike picked us up from our homes and took us to our choice of vineyards. His bus was beautifully air conditioned and his driving was exceptional. We had a great day and will certainly be using Mike's service again. I would highly recommend Mike and Shoal Bay Shuttle Service

Thanks Sharon. You organised a great day out, run with military (like) precision. So many venues, so little time to do it, but it worked well! Kudos to you and your friends.. looking forward to the next time 🙂

Mike was excellent, picked up myself and my 4 young kids from Newcastle airport and got us safely to our destination to Port Stephens. He arranged car seat for the kids and had plenty of space for multiple bags and extra kids oversize items too. Would definitely use his service again!

Appreciate your kind words Kylie. You and your 4 young children were at the end of a long day travelling, and hats off to you for such a massive effort, just you, kids and a lot of luggage. Glad to be of service. Have a very happy Christmas!

Mike took our group up to the Hunter Valley for a long overdue wine tasting trip. Nothing was too much trouble and the day was an absolute joy. Lots of laughs and no pressure. Would highly recommend.

Thanks Michelle! It was a pleasure and great to hear that your day was enjoyed by all. Looking forward to travelling with you again in the future.

Mike was fantastic, took us from Fingal bay to the Newcastle races, then in to town and back home later in the night. I would recommend Shoal Bay Shuttle to anyone.

Thanks for the review Frank. We take pride in our work, and look forward to your next visit. Please give us a call. Mike
