South West Coast Path Transfers from Newquay Airport
If you’re flying into Cornwall to walk the South West Coast Path, getting from the airport to the start of your walk can sometimes be the most complicated part of the journey.
Every year we collect walkers arriving at Newquay Airport and take them to destinations all along the Cornish coast. Some are walking for a few days, whilst others are tackling much longer sections of the Coast Path and need transport to accommodation, campsites or starting points that can be difficult to reach by public transport.
Being based locally, we know that Cornwall can often look quite straightforward on a map. In reality, bus connections don’t always line up with flight arrivals, and after travelling, many visitors simply want to get to their destination and start enjoying their holiday.
That’s where we can help.
Popular Walking Destinations
We regularly provide transfers from Newquay Airport to many of Cornwall’s best-known Coast Path destinations, including Padstow, Port Isaac, Tintagel, Boscastle, Bude, St Ives, Porthleven, Penzance, Mousehole and Land’s End.
Some walkers start in Padstow and head west. Others begin around Tintagel and Boscastle before continuing along the north coast.
Many visitors also choose St Ives or Penzance as a base for exploring the western sections of the path.
Whatever your plans, we can usually take you directly to your accommodation, holiday cottage, hotel, campsite or walking start point.
Arriving at Newquay Airport
We provide a meet and greet service at Newquay Airport, so there is no need to search for taxis after your flight arrives.
Once you have collected your luggage, your driver will meet you inside the terminal and take you directly to your destination. Many of our customers are visiting Cornwall for the first time, so we’re always happy to answer questions and offer local advice during the journey.
Local Knowledge Matters
We’ve been driving Cornwall’s roads for many years and understand that not all destinations are as easy to reach as they may first appear. Many Coast Path accommodations are located in small villages, rural locations or places with limited public transport.
We regularly take visitors to places that many national transfer companies have never even heard of.
Whether you’re staying in a small harbour village, a farm cottage, a campsite overlooking the coast or a hotel in one of Cornwall’s larger towns, we’ll know where you’re heading and the best way to get there.
Travelling with Walking Equipment
Most walkers travel with rucksacks, suitcases and outdoor equipment, and we’re accustomed to carrying everything needed for a walking holiday in Cornwall.
If you have any unusual luggage requirements, simply let us know when booking and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.
A Simple Start to Your Holiday
After a flight, the last thing most people want is a complicated onward journey involving several bus changes and long waits. A direct transfer allows you to arrive, relax and begin your walking holiday without unnecessary stress.
You can obtain an instant quotation online or contact us if you would like any advice before booking.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cornwall.
