A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Turkey Creek Sanctuary
For nature lovers and eco-tourists, the Turkey Creek Sanctuary is the crown jewel of the Palm Bay park system. This 130-acre wonder offers a distinct look at the Florida environment that existed long before development. The sanctuary features a 1.85-mile boardwalk that winds through hydric hammock and sand pine scrub communities, offering shade and spectacular views of the creek. It is a prime spot for birdwatching, manatee spotting, and seeing turtles sunning themselves on logs. For school groups and scout troops, the on-site Margaret Hames Nature Center offers educational exhibits that explain the local ecosystem.
Why visit by bus: Parking at the sanctuary can be limited, especially on weekends or when hosting large educational groups. When you rent a charter bus from Charter Bus Palm Bay, we can arrange a drop-off right at the entrance of the Nature Center. While your group explores the boardwalks or launches kayaks into the creek, your driver will handle the parking logistics. Plus, a charter bus offers ample undercarriage storage, meaning you can bring along coolers for a post-hike picnic or store extra gear without cramping your legroom inside the cabin.
Address: 1518 Port Malabar Blvd NE, Palm Bay, FL 32905
Andretti Thrill Park
If your group has a need for speed, Andretti Thrill Park is the ultimate destination for entertainment in the Palm Bay and Melbourne area. This sprawling complex is perfect for youth groups, graduation parties, and corporate team-building events looking to blow off some steam. The park features multiple go-kart tracks, including the F1 Speed Track for older racers and rookie tracks for the little ones. Beyond racing, the park offers batting cages, laser tag, a ropes course, and a massive arcade. It’s a high-energy environment that guarantees a day full of excitement.
Why visit by bus: After a long day of adrenaline-pumping activities and arcade games, the last thing parents or chaperones want to do is navigate traffic on Babcock Street. By booking a minibus or charter bus, you ensure that everyone stays together and arrives comfortably. Our buses come equipped with powerful air-conditioning—a must-have after running around in the Florida heat—and comfortable reclining seats where your group can rest and recap their race wins on the way home.
Address: 3960 S Babcock St, Melbourne, FL 32901
Castaways Point Park
Located right on the edge of the Indian River Lagoon, Castaways Point Park offers some of the best waterfront views in Palm Bay. This park is a favorite for groups looking for a laid-back day of fishing, picnicking, or simply watching the dolphins play in the river. The park features two fishing piers, a sandy beach area for launching canoes and kayaks, and plenty of pavilions for group lunches. It is an excellent location for family reunions or company picnics where the goal is relaxation and enjoying the coastal breeze.
Why visit by bus: Transporting picnic supplies, fishing rods, charcoal, and beach chairs in multiple personal vehicles is a hassle. With a full-size charter bus rental from Charter Bus Palm Bay, you can utilize the massive underfloor luggage bays to stow all your equipment securely. Your group can travel hands-free in the cabin, enjoying the view of the river along US-1 before arriving at the park. We can help you coordinate a pickup time that ensures you catch the sunset before heading to dinner.
Address: 2990 Bay Blvd NE, Palm Bay, FL 32905
The Majors Golf Club
For corporate outings and bachelor parties, The Majors Golf Club offers a premier golfing experience right in Palm Bay’s Bayside Lakes community. This Arnold Palmer Signature Course is renowned for its challenging layout, pristine greens, and scenic setting that incorporates the natural Florida landscape. It is widely considered one of the best courses on the Space Coast. Groups can book tee times for tournaments or enjoy a leisurely round followed by drinks and dining at the clubhouse.
Why visit by bus: A charter bus rental adds an element of VIP status to your golf outing. Instead of cramming golf bags into the trunks of sedans or rideshares, our spacious buses offer plenty of room for clubs and gear. For corporate groups, the ride to the course can be used for networking or pre-game strategy discussions. If you are planning a bachelor party tournament, a private minibus ensures everyone has a designated driver for the day, allowing the group to enjoy the clubhouse amenities responsibly.
Address: 3375 Bayside Lakes Blvd SE, Palm Bay, FL 32909
Stick Marsh / Farm 13
Just southwest of Palm Bay lies a legendary destination for anglers: the Stick Marsh and Farm 13 reservoir. Famous worldwide for its trophy bass fishing, this 6,500-acre impoundment is a bucket-list destination for fishing clubs and outdoor enthusiasts. The unique underwater structure (submerged trees and stumps) creates the perfect habitat for massive bass, crappie, and bluegill. While it is a bit more remote, the experience of fishing here is unmatched in the region.
Why visit by bus: Getting to Stick Marsh involves driving on some rural roads where cell service can be spotty and convoys can easily get separated. Charter Bus Palm Bay removes the navigation stress. We can transport your fishing club or tour group directly to the boat ramp area. Your drivers map out the route ahead of time. While you swap fishing stories and prepare your tackle in the comfort of the bus, we handle the drive to this remote angler’s paradise.
Address: Fellsmere Grade Rd, Fellsmere, FL 32948
Brevard Zoo
Consistently ranked as one of the top zoos in the United States, the Brevard Zoo is a short drive north of Palm Bay and an absolute must for any group itinerary. This zoo is unique because it emphasizes interactive experiences; you can kayak through the giraffe habitat, feed exotic birds, or take a train ride through the lemur exhibit. It represents a fantastic educational opportunity for schools or a fun day out for senior citizen groups and families. The zoo is broken into loops representing different continents, ensuring there is plenty to see and do for hours.
Why visit by bus: The Brevard Zoo is a popular destination, and the parking lot can get busy. When you book a charter bus, your group gets dropped off right near the entrance, bypassing the long walk from the back of the lot. For school field trips, a charter bus provides a much more comfortable alternative to traditional yellow school buses. With onboard DVD players and TV monitors, you can play wildlife documentaries on the way to the zoo to get students excited and engaged before they even step off the bus.
Address: 8225 N Wickham Rd, Melbourne, FL 32940
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
No trip to the Space Coast is complete without visiting the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). While located on Merritt Island, it is the primary reason many groups stay in the Palm Bay area. This is where history is made. Your group can stand beneath the massive Saturn V rocket, touch a moon rock, meet a real astronaut, and see the Space Shuttle Atlantis up close. It is an inspiring destination for STEM field trips, corporate retreats, and history buffs. The sheer scale of the exhibits and the bus tour of the launch pads make for an all-day event.
Why visit by bus: The drive from Palm Bay to KSC takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Rather than staring at the highway, your group can utilize the travel time productively. With onboard WiFi and power outlets, students can complete worksheets, and corporate teams can check emails. Charter Bus Palm Bay handles the tolls and highway navigation on I-95 and SR 528. Furthermore, KSC has specific parking for motorcoaches, making entry and exit seamless for large groups.
Address: Space Commerce Way, Merritt Island, FL 32953
Sebastian Inlet State Park
For groups who want the quintessential Florida beach experience, Sebastian Inlet State Park is the place to go. Located just south of Palm Bay, this park is famous for its surfing breaks, including the "First Peak" and "Monster Hole." Beyond surfing, the park offers two museums (The McLarty Treasure Museum and the Sebastian Fishing Museum), incredible fishing off the jetties, and a protected cove that is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. It is a versatile destination that appeals to active groups as well as those who just want to relax on the sand.
Why visit by bus: Beach parking is notoriously difficult, especially on beautiful Florida weekends. A charter bus rental eliminates the need to hunt for spots. We can drop your group off near the beach access points or the museums. Plus, nobody likes getting sand in their personal car. With a charter bus, you can store sandy beach chairs, umbrellas, and surfboards in the luggage bays. After a long day in the sun and surf, the air-conditioned cabin of the bus offers a cool, refreshing retreat for the ride back to Palm Bay.
Address: 9700 S Hwy A1A, Melbourne Beach, FL 32951

Frequently Asked Questions About Palm Bay Group Travel Transportation
How much does a charter bus rental cost in Palm Bay?
The cost of a charter bus in Palm Bay depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and the distance traveled. For example, a trip during peak wedding season or spring break might be priced differently than a trip in the fall. We offer personalized quotes to ensure you only pay for what you need. Call us at 239-920-7445 with your itinerary, and we can provide you with an accurate, free price estimate in minutes.
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus?
Yes, we allow food and drinks on board! It is a great way to keep your group refreshed during the trip. However, we recommend sticking to mess-free snacks and drinks with lids to keep the bus clean. Remember, the goal is to keep the bus in the same condition it was found to avoid cleaning fees.
Do you offer airport transfers to Orlando (MCO) or Melbourne (MLB)?
Absolutely. Airport transfers are one of our most popular services. Whether your group is flying into the smaller, convenient Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) or the major hub at Orlando International Airport (MCO), we can arrange a private shuttle to pick you up curbside. A private charter bus has plenty of room for luggage and ensures your group stays together, avoiding the hassle of splitting up into multiple rideshares or waiting for hotel shuttles.
Is there parking for the bus at these attractions?
Most major attractions in the Palm Bay and Space Coast area, such as the Kennedy Space Center and Brevard Zoo, have designated parking areas for motorcoaches. For smaller venues, parks, or downtown locations, your driver will drop your group off at the entrance and then park the bus at a designated off-site location or staging area. You don't need to worry about parking the bus yourself; your driver handles all the logistics of parking and will return to pick you up at the scheduled time.
How far in advance should I book my bus rental?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your travel dates are confirmed. For trips during busy seasons (like spring break or holidays), booking 3 to 6 months in advance is ideal to ensure the best availability and pricing. However, we understand that plans can come up suddenly. Charter Bus Palm Bay is equipped to handle last-minute requests whenever possible. Just give us a call, and we will do our best to find a vehicle that fits your needs.
