A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Las Olas Boulevard
No trip to Fort Lauderdale is complete without a stroll down the iconic Las Olas Boulevard. Stretching from downtown Fort Lauderdale to the Atlantic Ocean, this thoroughfare is the heart and soul of the city’s fashion, dining, and art scenes. It is the perfect destination for groups looking to shop at unique boutiques, enjoy al fresco dining at world-class restaurants, or simply people-watch in a vibrant atmosphere. However, parking along Las Olas is notoriously difficult and expensive, often requiring parallel parking skills that can stress out even the most seasoned drivers.
When you book a minibus or charter bus with Charter Bus Fort Lauderdale, you can skip the parking meter anxiety entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right at the center of the action, perhaps near the Cheesecake Factory (600 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301) or the Riverside Hotel (620 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301). While your group explores the art galleries or grabs a coffee at Ann’s Florist and Coffee Bar, your driver will handle the vehicle. This is an excellent option for bachelorette parties looking for a brunch spot or corporate teams looking for a happy hour location. After a day of shopping, your group will appreciate climbing into a cool, air-conditioned bus with plenty of overhead storage for their new purchases.
Fort Lauderdale Beach
Unlike the high-octane energy of South Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach offers a more refined, family-friendly coastal experience while still providing breathtaking views of the Atlantic. The area is defined by its famous "Wave Wall" and the brick-paved promenade, perfect for walking, jogging, or rollerblading. It’s an ideal spot for large family reunions, spring break groups who want a cleaner beach experience, or corporate groups looking for a seaside team-building event. The beach stretches for miles, but the main hub of activity is centered near the intersection of Las Olas Boulevard and A1A.
Transporting a large group to the beach often involves the nightmare of finding multiple parking spots and hauling coolers, umbrellas, and chairs over long distances. With a 56-passenger charter bus rental from Charter Bus Fort Lauderdale, you can utilize the spacious undercarriage luggage bays to store all your beach gear. Your driver can drop you off at Fort Lauderdale Beach Park (1100 Seabreeze Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316), where there are picnic tables, volleyball courts, and restrooms. Once you have soaked up enough sun, you won't have to worry about sand in your personal car; just hop back on your private shuttle and head to your hotel or next destination comfortably.
Museum of Discovery and Science
For school field trips, summer camps, and curious minds of all ages, the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) is a must-visit destination. Located in the heart of the Arts and Science District, this facility features hundreds of interactive exhibits, including a simulated airboat ride through the Everglades and an exhilarating cockpit simulator. It is also home to the AutoNation IMAX 3D Theater, which boasts one of the largest screens in South Florida. The museum is located at 401 SW 2nd St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312.
Coordinating a school trip involves a lot of moving parts, and comfort is always the top priority. Charter Bus Fort Lauderdale specializes in comfortable, reliable school trip transportation. Forget the cramped, non-air-conditioned yellow school buses. Our modern charter buses come equipped with seatbelts, DVD players to watch educational films en route, and WiFi so teachers can stay connected. We can coordinate with the museum for designated bus loading and unloading zones, ensuring that your students transition comfortably from the vehicle to the exhibits. Whether you have a single class or an entire grade level, our fleet can accommodate groups of any size.
Bonnet House Museum & Gardens
Step back in time and experience the Old Florida charm at the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens. This 35-acre historic estate, located at 900 N Birch Rd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304, offers a glimpse into the lives of Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett, early settlers who created a whimsical, artistic winter retreat. The grounds serve as a barrier island habitat featuring five distinct ecosystems, making it a fantastic destination for history buffs, art lovers, and nature enthusiasts alike. It is also a very popular venue for weddings and private events.
If you are planning a wedding at the Bonnet House, Charter Bus Fort Lauderdale can provide seamless wedding shuttle services. We can transport your guests from their hotels to the venue, ensuring everyone arrives on time for the ceremony. The estate is tucked away between the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, and while there is parking, a shuttle service adds a layer of elegance and convenience for your guests, especially those wearing formal attire. Your driver can navigate the A1A traffic while your guests enjoy the ride with reclining seats and perhaps a celebratory playlist over the bus's PA system.
Hugh Taylor Birch State Park
Often referred to as the "Central Park" of Fort Lauderdale, Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is an urban oasis nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Located at 3109 E Sunrise Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304, this park offers a wide range of outdoor activities, including canoeing, hiking, cycling, and picnicking. It is a fantastic destination for scout troops, church groups, or corporate teams looking for an outdoor retreat without leaving the city limits.
Renting a charter bus for a trip to Hugh Taylor Birch State Park simplifies the logistics of carrying outdoor gear. Our full-size motorcoaches have massive storage compartments perfect for hauling sports equipment, picnic coolers, and hiking gear. Instead of trying to coordinate a convoy of cars and paying for individual vehicle entry fees, your group can arrive in a single vehicle. Your driver can drop you off near the pavilions or the coastal dune lake and return to pick you up when your adventure is complete. It is the hassle-free way to enjoy nature.
Jungle Queen Riverboat
For a quintessential Fort Lauderdale experience, you cannot beat the Jungle Queen Riverboat. This famous attraction has been operating since 1935, taking visitors on sightseeing cruises up the New River to see the "Millionaire's Row" of homes and mega-yachts. They also offer a popular dinner cruise that includes an all-you-can-eat BBQ and a variety show on a tropical isle. The cruises depart from the Bahia Mar Yachting Center at 801 Seabreeze Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316.
Traffic around the Bahia Mar marina can be intense, especially before the evening dinner cruise departures. By booking a minibus or charter bus with Charter Bus Fort Lauderdale, you can ensure your group arrives together with plenty of time to board. This is a favorite activity for senior travel groups and family reunions. Our buses offer comfortable boarding and plenty of legroom, which is appreciated by older travelers. After a night of dining and entertainment on the water, a waiting bus provides a comfortable ride back to your hotel or residence.
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
Located just a short drive southwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale in nearby Hollywood, FL, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is an entertainment powerhouse. Dominated by the iconic "Guitar Hotel" structure, this complex features a massive casino floor, luxury retail shops, incredible dining options, and a 7,000-seat performance venue that hosts some of the biggest names in music and comedy. It is located at 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood, FL 33314.
This is a top destination for bachelor and bachelorette parties, 21st birthday celebrations, and corporate outings. When alcohol and late-night fun are on the itinerary, comfort is paramount. Renting a party bus or charter bus from Charter Bus Fort Lauderdale means you have a built-in designated driver for the entire night. Your group can enjoy the casino, catch a show at Hard Rock Live, and dance the night away at DAER Nightclub without worrying about rideshares or parking garages. Our party buses can even come equipped with LED lighting and premium sound systems to keep the energy high during the ride.
NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale
Situated in the heart of downtown’s arts and entertainment district, the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale is a cultural gem. The museum is known for its significant collection of Latin American art, contemporary works, and European CoBrA art. Located at 1 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301, it is an intellectually stimulating destination for university groups, art appreciation societies, and cultural tourists.
Navigating downtown Fort Lauderdale during the workday or on weekends can be tricky due to one-way streets and pedestrian traffic. A charter bus rental ensures that your group is dropped off curb-side, right at the entrance. This is particularly helpful for groups with mobility concerns or large student groups. After touring the exhibits, your bus can easily transport you to a nearby restaurant on Las Olas for lunch, or over to the Riverwalk for a scenic stroll. Charter Bus Fort Lauderdale makes cultural outings seamless and sophisticated.
