A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Edison and Ford Winter Estates
No trip to Fort Myers is complete without visiting the city’s most historically significant landmark: the Edison and Ford Winter Estates. Located at 2350 McGregor Blvd, Fort Myers, FL 33901, this sprawling 20-acre site preserves the winter homes of two of America’s greatest innovators, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. Groups can explore the historic homes, the 15,000-square-foot inventions museum, and the world-renowned botanical gardens, which feature a massive Banyan tree planted by Edison himself. It is a fantastic destination for educational field trips, senior citizen tour groups, and history buffs alike.
Parking at the Estates can be tight, especially during the busy winter season when tourists flock to the area. By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Fort Myers, you eliminate the hassle of finding multiple parking spots along McGregor Boulevard. Your driver can drop your group off right at the ticketing entrance for a seamless arrival. While you enjoy a guided tour of the laboratory and gardens, your bus will park in the designated oversized vehicle area. After your tour, your group can board a cool, air-conditioned bus to head to lunch, avoiding the sweltering walk back to distant cars. We recommend booking your group tour tickets in advance, as this is one of the most popular attractions in Southwest Florida.
The River District (Historic Downtown Fort Myers)
For groups looking to experience the heartbeat of the city, the historic downtown area, known as the River District, is the place to be. This vibrant, brick-paved neighborhood is teeming with art galleries, boutique shops, and some of the best dining in the region along First Street. It is the perfect location for a corporate dinner, a bachelorette party bar crawl, or a leisurely afternoon of shopping. Key highlights include the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center and the regular Art Walk and Music Walk events that transform the streets into a lively festival.
However, downtown parking garages fill up quickly, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. Instead of circling blocks or paying premium rates for valet service for multiple cars, rent a minibus from Charter Bus Rental Company Fort Myers. We can facilitate a smooth drop-off near the Fort Myers Regional Library or Centennial Park. Your group can explore the waterfront, grab cocktails at a rooftop bar like the Firestone Skybar, and enjoy the nightlife without worrying about designated drivers. When the night winds down, your driver will be waiting at a pre-arranged location to shuttle everyone comfortably back to your hotel or residence. It is the safest and most stylish way to enjoy downtown Fort Myers.
JetBlue Park at Fenway South
Sports fans know that Fort Myers is the spring training home of the Boston Red Sox, and JetBlue Park at Fenway South is a bucket-list destination for baseball enthusiasts. Located at 11500 Fenway South Dr, Fort Myers, FL 33913, this stadium is a near-replica of the famous Fenway Park in Boston, complete with its own “Green Monster” in left field. During February and March, the area surrounding the stadium becomes a hub of activity, with thousands of fans descending upon the city to catch a game. It is an ideal outing for corporate team -building events, family reunions, or school sports teams .
Traffic on Daniels Parkway during game days can be notoriously heavy. Coordinating a convoy of cars into the general parking lots can result in your group getting separated and missing the first pitch. With a private charter bus rental, your group travels together, building excitement with pre-game discussions in a comfortable setting. Our buses feature plenty of undercarriage storage, meaning you can bring along coolers, folding chairs, and tents if you plan to do some tailgating before the game. Your driver handles the game-day traffic and drops you near the entrance, ensuring you get to your seats in time for the national anthem. After the game, simply hop back on your bus and skip the post-game gridlock.
Fort Myers Beach and The Pier
For a quintessential Florida experience, you have to get your group to the sand. Fort Myers Beach, located on Estero Island, offers sugar-sand beaches, watersports, and a laid-back vibe that is perfect for relaxation. The area around the Fort Myers Beach Pier (roughly at 10 Old San Carlos Blvd, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931) is the center of the action, featuring Times Square—a pedestrian-friendly area filled with outdoor dining and shops. Whether you are planning a beach day for a youth group or a sunset dinner cruise departure, this is a top-tier destination.
Anyone local will tell you that parking on Fort Myers Beach is extremely limited and traffic crossing the Matanzas Pass Bridge can be slow. A charter bus rental is the ultimate hack for beach days. Load up your bus with beach umbrellas, towels, coolers, and sunscreen in the spacious luggage bays. Your driver can navigate the traffic on San Carlos Boulevard and drop your group off within walking distance of the beach access points. While you soak up the sun or enjoy fresh seafood at a beachfront restaurant, your driver will handle the vehicle. There is no need to feed parking meters or hunt for spaces. When you are sun-kissed and ready to go home, your cool, sand-free bus will be ready to whisk you away.
Manatee Park
Nature lovers visiting between November and March cannot miss Manatee Park, located at 10901 Palm Beach Blvd, Fort Myers, FL 33905. This non-captive warm water refuge is one of the best places in the state to view Florida manatees in their natural environment. The park is situated on the discharge canal of a nearby power plant, which warms the water and attracts these gentle giants when the Gulf temperatures drop. It offers paved viewing areas, kayak rentals, and beautiful butterfly gardens, making it an excellent stop for eco-tours and school groups.
Because this is a seasonal attraction dependent on weather, crowds can surge unexpectedly on cold days. Charter Bus Rental Company Fort Myers makes group visits easy. We can transport your scout troop, biology class, or photography club directly to the park entrance. If you are renting kayaks for the whole group, our buses have plenty of room for extra gear and change of clothes. A charter bus ensures that your group arrives together for your scheduled kayak launch or educational program. Plus, the ride to the park via Palm Beach Boulevard is much more enjoyable when you can look out panoramic windows and spot local wildlife along the way.
IMAG History & Science Center
For educational groups and families with younger children, the IMAG History & Science Center is a must-visit destination. Located at 2000 Cranford Ave, Fort Myers, FL 33916, this interactive museum combines the history of Southwest Florida with hands-on science exhibits. Visitors can touch stingrays, explore a virtual reality Fort Myers from the 19th century, and learn about the local ecosystem. It is a favorite destination for STEM field trips and summer camp outings.
Organizing a field trip involves a lot of moving parts, but transportation shouldn't be the hard part. When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Fort Myers, you upgrade the experience from a standard yellow school bus to a modern motorcoach. Students can watch educational DVDs on the onboard monitors on the way to the museum, keeping them engaged and quiet. We prioritize comfort above all else, ensuring that students, teachers, and chaperones arrive comfortably. The IMAG has specific drop-off zones for buses, and the drivers are familiar with the layout, ensuring a smooth transition from the bus to the exhibit hall. We take the stress out of logistics so educators can focus on the learning experience.
Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve
Immerse your group in the beauty of Florida’s wetlands at the Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, located at 7751 Penzance Blvd, Fort Myers, FL 33966. This 3,500-acre wetland ecosystem features a 1.2-mile elevated boardwalk that is fully accessible, making it perfect for groups of all ages and mobility levels. It serves as a natural drainage way and a wildlife corridor, offering chances to see otters, alligators, wading birds, and turtles. It is a serene escape for senior groups, nature clubs, and wellness retreats.
Visiting the Slough with a group is a peaceful experience, provided you don't have to worry about parking multiple vehicles. The parking lot requires a fee and can be busy on weekends. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Fort Myers allows your group to travel as one unit, ensuring that nobody gets lost en route to this hidden gem. Your driver can drop you near the Interpretive Center so you can begin your boardwalk stroll immediately. After a humid walk through the cypress strands, stepping back into a climate-controlled bus with reclining seats is the perfect way to cool down and discuss the wildlife you spotted.
The Shell Factory and Nature Park
For a taste of old-school Florida charm, take your group to The Shell Factory and Nature Park, located just north of the city at 2787 N Tamiami Trail, North Fort Myers, FL 33903. This massive entertainment complex features the world’s largest collection of seashells, a nature park with over 400 animals, mini-golf, zip lines, and extensive shopping. It is a quirky, fun, all-in-one destination that is perfect for diverse groups where everyone wants to do something different. It works exceptionally well for multi-generational family reunions or tour groups looking for souvenirs.
Given the sheer size of the complex and the variety of activities, groups often spend several hours or an entire day here. A charter bus rental provides a centralized hub for your group. If some members finish shopping early while others are still in the nature park, the bus can serve as a meeting point. Additionally, if you purchase large or fragile items—like coral or large shell displays—the storage bays under the bus provide a safe place to stow your treasures until you get home. Let Charter Bus Rental Company Fort Myers drive you up Tamiami Trail in comfort, avoiding the busy commercial traffic while you plan your attack on the arcade or the shell shop.
