Washington Oaks Gardens State Park

One of the most photogenic and serene locations in all of Florida, Washington Oaks Gardens State Park is a must-visit for nature lovers, wedding parties, and photography groups. Located at 6400 N Oceanside Blvd, Palm Coast, FL 32137, this park offers a unique dual experience: formal ornamental gardens on the west side and a rugged, coquina rock-lined beach on the east side of A1A. When you rent a charter bus with us, you avoid the hassle of finding parking spots for multiple vehicles in the often-busy lots. We can drop your group off right at the garden entrance, allowing you to stroll through rows of azaleas, camellias, and roses, or relax under the canopy of ancient live oaks.

For groups interested in geology or photography, the beach side of the park features rare coquina rock formations that create small tidal pools at low tide—a perfect educational opportunity for school field trips. After exploring the beach, your group can retreat to the climate-controlled comfort of your charter bus to cool off and head to a picnic pavilion. Whether you are hosting a wedding ceremony in the gardens or simply enjoying a day of tranquility, Charter Bus Rental Company Palm Coast ensures your group arrives together and refreshes.

Marineland Dolphin Adventure

History and marine biology come together at Marineland Dolphin Adventure, the world's first oceanarium. Located just north of Palm Coast proper at 9600 Oceanside Blvd, St. Augustine, FL 32080, this attraction has been delighting visitors since 1938. This is a premier destination for school field trips, scout troops, and family vacations. When you book a bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Palm Coast, you can easily transport your students or family members to this educational hub without the stress of organizing carpools. The facility specializes in hands-on interactions with dolphins, making it an unforgettable experience for groups.

Your charter bus rental provides plenty of storage for backpacks, packed lunches, and change of clothes if you plan on participating in the splash-heavy interactive programs. Instead of worrying about the drive along the scenic A1A highway, your group can watch educational videos about marine life on the bus’s onboard TV screens while en route. Marineland is not just about entertainment; it is about conservation and education, aligning perfectly with our commitment to providing safe, reliable transport for educational outings. Let us handle the logistics while you focus on making memories with the dolphins.

European Village

For a taste of European flair right in the heart of Florida, the European Village is the premier destination for dining, shopping, and nightlife in Palm Coast. Located at 101 Palm Harbor Pkwy, Palm Coast, FL 32137, this colorful complex features restaurants, bars, and boutiques surrounding a central courtyard that often hosts live music and farmers markets. It is an ideal spot for corporate groups looking for a dinner location, bachelor or bachelorette parties seeking a fun night out, or wedding parties looking for a rehearsal dinner venue. The parking area can get congested during weekend events, but with a minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Palm Coast, you get VIP treatment with drop-offs right at the entrance.

Renting a bus for a night out at the European Village means everyone in your group can enjoy the various microbreweries and wine bars responsibly. You won’t need to worry about designating drivers or splitting the group into multiple rideshares. The drivers will ensure that your entire party returns to your hotel or home safely at the end of the night. Whether you are there for the Sunday market or a lively Friday night, the European Village is best experienced when you don't have to worry about the drive home.

Princess Place Preserve

Step back in time and immerse your group in "Old Florida" charm at Princess Place Preserve. Situated at 2500 Princess Place Rd, Palm Coast, FL 32137, this 1,500-acre preserve is home to the oldest homestead in Flagler County. It is a fantastic destination for history buffs, hiking clubs, and equestrian groups. The preserve features miles of hiking and equestrian trails, fishing spots, and camping areas. The rustic setting also makes it a popular venue for outdoor weddings and family reunions. Navigating the unpaved roads leading into the deeper parts of the preserve is much easier when you are in a sturdy motorcoach rather than a convoy of compact cars.

When you book a charter bus for a day at Princess Place, you have ample undercarriage storage for all your outdoor gear, coolers, and picnic supplies. Your group can enjoy a guided tour of the historic lodge, featuring Florida’s first in-ground swimming pool, and relax in the rocking chairs on the wrap-around porch. After a day of hiking or kayaking in the Pellicer Creek, your group will appreciate the reclining seats and air conditioning of your Charter Bus Rental Company Palm Coast bus for the ride back to civilization.

Flagler Beach & The Pier

While technically its own municipality, Flagler Beach serves as the seaside playground for Palm Coast residents and visitors. Located along A1A and S 2nd St, Flagler Beach, FL 32136, this retro-style beach town offers miles of cinnamon-colored sand and the iconic Flagler Beach Municipal Pier. It is the perfect destination for senior citizen outings, church youth groups, and large family vacations wanting a classic beach day without the crowds of Daytona. Parking near the beach can be notoriously difficult during peak season, but a charter bus rental solves that problem instantly. We drop your group off right near the pier and handle the parking logistics elsewhere.

Your bus rental comes with plenty of space for beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and coolers in the luggage bays. After a long day in the sun and surf, there is nothing better than boarding a cool, climate-controlled bus to shake off the sand and relax. You can also utilize the bus to shuttle your group to one of the many oceanfront restaurants like the Funky Pelican or High Tides at Snack Jack for a fresh seafood dinner. Experience the laid-back vibe of Flagler Beach with the convenience of private group transportation.

Florida Agricultural Museum

For an educational experience that dives deep into the state's rural history, the Florida Agricultural Museum is a top-tier destination for school field trips and history tours. Located at 7900 Old Kings Rd N, Palm Coast, FL 32137, this expansive property features restored historic buildings from the 1890s, including a dairy barn, a citrus packing house, and an old general store. Groups can take guided tractor tours, interact with farm animals, and learn about the agricultural heritage that shaped Florida. A charter bus rental is the safest and most efficient way to transport students or tour groups to this sprawling location.

Charter Bus Rental Company Palm Coast works with educators to ensure timely arrivals for scheduled tours and workshops. Our buses are equipped with PA systems, allowing teachers or tour guides to brief the group on the history they are about to see before they even step off the bus. The museum also hosts special events and festivals throughout the year, and a private shuttle ensures your group can attend without the headache of navigating event traffic. It’s an immersive learning experience made easy with reliable transportation.

Bing's Landing

Bing's Landing is more than just a park; it's a piece of history and a culinary landmark. Located at 5862 N Oceanside Blvd, Palm Coast, FL 32137, this park sits on the Intracoastal Waterway and is the site of the Mala Compra Plantation archaeological dig. However, it is perhaps most famous for being the home of Captain's BBQ, widely considered one of the best barbecue joints in the state. This is an excellent stop for tour groups, corporate lunch outings, or families who want to combine history with world-class food. The park also offers boat launches and fishing areas.

With a private minibus or charter bus, you can easily swing by Bing's Landing for a heavy lunch of brisket and ribs without worrying about the subsequent "food coma" affecting your drive. Your designated driver handles the road while your group digests and enjoys the waterfront views. The park is also rich in oak trees and Spanish moss, providing a beautiful backdrop for group photos. Whether you are there for the archaeology or the BBQ sauce, Charter Bus Rental Company Palm Coast gets you there comfortably.

Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa

For corporate retreats, bachelor parties, and serious golf enthusiasts, the Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa is the crown jewel of Palm Coast. Located at 200 Ocean Crest Dr, Palm Coast, FL 32137, this resort features two award-winning golf courses: the Ocean Course designed by Jack Nicklaus and the Conservatory Course designed by Tom Watson. Organizing a golf outing for a large group requires coordinating tee times and transporting bulky golf bags. A full-size charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Palm Coast offers massive undercarriage storage perfect for dozens of golf clubs and luggage.

Beyond golf, the resort offers a multi-level pool complex, a spa, and fine dining, making it ideal for corporate incentive trips. We can provide shuttle services from Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) or Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB) directly to the resort, ensuring your VIPs travel in style.
