George Airport to Plettenberg Bay transfer
Private, door to door, met in arrivals. From R2 100 per vehicle.
A George Airport to Plettenberg Bay transfer with Gecko is private and door to door. The vehicle is yours alone, the rate covers the whole party rather than each seat, and your driver is waiting in the arrivals terminal when you land. George is the nearest airport with regular flights and the drive to Plett takes about two hours on the N2.

How it works
1. Send your flight details. Transfers are arranged by enquiry rather than booked online, so tell us the flight, the date and the number of passengers and we confirm the vehicle and the rate back to you.
2. Your driver confirms on WhatsApp. The day before you travel, your driver makes contact so you know exactly who is meeting you.
3. Met in arrivals, door to door. Your driver is waiting in the arrivals terminal when you land and takes you straight to your accommodation.
Travelling the other way, to George Airport
The scheduled Gecko shuttle runs towards George Airport rather than away from it, calling there at 07:00 on its way to Cape Town. So if you are leaving Plettenberg Bay to catch a flight, a seat on the scheduled shuttle starts at R620 a person and can be booked online. The leg is covered on the George to Plettenberg Bay shuttle page.
Arrivals into George are covered by the private transfer above, because the shuttle does not run outbound from the airport.
