A Group Travel Guide to Pompano Beach, Florida's Best Destinations

Welcome to the Heart of the Gold Coast! Located just north of Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach is a gem of South Florida known for its boating culture, offshore coral reefs, and relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. While often overshadowed by its larger neighbors like Miami, Pompano Beach offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern redevelopment that makes it a prime destination for group travel.

At Charter Bus Rental Company Pompano Beach, we have spent over 15 years helping groups navigate this beautiful coastal city. Whether you are organizing a corporate retreat, a senior citizen sightseeing tour, a wedding, or a school field trip, we have the fleet and the local expertise to get you there comfortably. Our fleet ranges from 18-passenger minibuses perfect for shuttle services to 56-passenger full-size charter buses equipped with undercarriage storage for beach gear and golf clubs. Forget the stress of coordinating a caravan of cars on I-95 or finding parking along A1A during peak season. Let us handle the logistics while you enjoy the sun, sand, and sights.

Here is our curated guide to the best group destinations in Pompano Beach and how a charter bus rental can enhance your visit to each.

A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Pompano Beach Fisher Family Pier

No trip to Pompano Beach is complete without visiting the iconic Fisher Family Pier. Located at 222 N Pompano Beach Blvd, Pompano Beach, FL 33062, this isn't just a place to fish; it is the social hub of the beachfront. Stretching nearly 900 feet into the Atlantic Ocean, the pier offers panoramic views that are perfect for group photo ops, sunrise viewing, or a relaxing evening stroll. The area surrounding the pier has been revitalized into a walkable Fishing Village area featuring casual and upscale dining options like Beach House Pompano and Oceanic.

Why visit by bus? Parking near the beach is notoriously difficult, especially on weekends and holidays. The parking garage fills up quickly, and street parking is limited. When you book a minibus or charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Pompano Beach, your driver can drop your group off right at the entrance to the pier area. Your group can head straight for the sand or the restaurants without circling for a spot. While you enjoy the ocean breeze, your driver will handle the parking logistics and return to pick you up exactly when you are ready to leave.

Butterfly World

Located just on the edge of Pompano Beach in Tradewinds Park, Butterfly World is a magical destination that appeals to all ages, from elementary school field trips to senior garden clubs. Found at 3600 W Sample Rd, Coconut Creek, FL 33073, this attraction is the largest butterfly park in the world, housing over 20,000 live butterflies. It features lush botanical gardens, aviaries with hummingbirds and lorikeets, and a research center. It is a peaceful, educational, and visually stunning experience.

Why visit by bus? Butterfly World is a popular destination for educational tours. If you are a teacher or camp counselor, keeping track of students in a large public park can be stressful. A private charter bus rental ensures that everyone arrives together and stays together. Our buses come equipped with PA systems so you can brief your group on the schedule before arrival, and climate-controlled cabins provide a cool respite after walking through the humid, tropical enclosures. There is ample bus parking available at Tradewinds Park, making loading and unloading a breeze.

The Amp (Pompano Beach Amphitheater)

For groups who love live music and entertainment, The Amp is the premier venue in the city. Located at 1806 NE 6th St, Pompano Beach, FL 33060, this open-air venue hosts everything from classic rock legends and jazz festivals to community events and movie nights. With a capacity of up to 3,000 people, it offers an intimate concert experience compared to the massive stadiums in Miami, but it still draws big crowds.

Why visit by bus? Concert traffic can kill the vibe before the show even starts. By renting a party bus or charter bus for your group of friends or corporate team, you turn the commute into part of the event. Your group can listen to the band’s setlist on our premium sound systems via AUX/Bluetooth hookups while heading to the venue. Your driver will drop you off near the entrance, allowing you to skip the long lines for general parking. After the encore, you’ll have a comfortable, reliable ride waiting for you, eliminating the need for designated drivers or surging rideshare prices.

Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse

Steeped in history, the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse is a must-see landmark. While the lighthouse itself is located on the northern point of the inlet (accessible only by boat tours), the best land-based views for groups are found at Hillsboro Inlet Park, located at 2700 N Ocean Blvd, Pompano Beach, FL 33062. The lighthouse has been guiding mariners since 1907 and features a unique iron skeleton structure.

Why visit by bus? This is a fantastic stop for history buffs and photography groups. However, Hillsboro Inlet Park is relatively small with limited parking spaces that are often taken by fishermen and beachgoers. A minibus rental allows your group to be dropped off for a sightseeing session and museum visit without the headache of finding multiple parking spots. If you are planning a guided boat tour to the lighthouse grounds, we can coordinate your drop-off at the Sands Harbor Resort and Marina dock to ensure you make your launch time without stress.

Harrah's Pompano Beach

Formerly known as Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park, Harrah's Pompano Beach is the destination for adult groups looking for excitement. Located at 777 Isle of Capri Cir, Pompano Beach, FL 33069, this entertainment complex features a massive casino floor with slots and poker tables, various dining options ranging from steakhouses to casual delis, and live entertainment. It is a favorite stop for bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate holiday parties, and senior trips.

Why visit by bus? The most important reason to rent a charter bus for a casino trip is comfort. A private bus rental ensures that everyone in your party has a comfortable, reliable ride home after a night of gaming and cocktails. You get a built-in designated driver for the entire evening. Additionally, for large groups, traveling together keeps the energy high. Our buses can be equipped with reclining seats and WiFi, so winners can relax and share their good fortune on social media immediately.

Pompano Community Park

If your group is in town for a sports tournament, Pompano Community Park is likely on your itinerary. Located at 1660 NE 10th St, Pompano Beach, FL 33060, this sprawling complex features the Pompano Beach Aquatic Center, baseball fields, basketball courts, pickleball courts, and picnic pavilions. It is the heartbeat of local recreational sports and often hosts regional competitions.

Why visit by bus? For sports teams, a full-size 56-passenger charter bus is a game-changer. These buses offer massive undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for storing baseball bags, coolers, uniforms, and other bulky equipment, keeping the aisles clear for players to stretch out. The air-conditioned cabin provides a place for athletes to cool down and rest between games. Parents and fans can also travel together in a separate minibus, ensuring the whole cheering section arrives on time for the first pitch.

Sample-McDougald House

Step back in time at the Sample-McDougald House, a 1916 colonial Georgian revival home located at 450 NE 10th St, Pompano Beach, FL 33060. This historic site offers a glimpse into the pioneer days of South Florida. It serves as a museum and a stunning venue for weddings and private events, sitting on five acres of heritage parkland.

Why visit by bus? This is an excellent destination for educational field trips and historical society outings. A charter bus rental allows you to keep the group organized during the trip. If you are planning a wedding here, a wedding shuttle bus is essential. We can transport guests from their hotels to the Sample-McDougald House for the ceremony and reception, ensuring that no one gets lost and the event stays on schedule. The venue has space to accommodate bus drop-offs, making it a seamless experience for planners.

Festival Flea Market Mall

For a shopping experience that is uniquely South Florida, bring your group to the Festival Flea Market Mall at 2900 W Sample Rd, Pompano Beach, FL 33073. This quarter-mile-long shopping paradise features over 500 shops, boutiques, and kiosks selling everything from jewelry and clothes to antiques and electronics. It’s an indoor, air-conditioned marketplace that makes for a great rainy-day activity.

Why visit by bus? Shopping groups and senior outings love the Festival Flea Market. The main advantage of a charter bus here is storage space. After a few hours of bargain hunting, your group will have bags and boxes to carry. Instead of stuffing them into the trunks of compact rental cars, your group can utilize the spacious overhead bins and luggage bays of a Charter Bus Rental Company Pompano Beach vehicle. Plus, the drop-off at the main entrance saves your group from walking across the massive parking lot in the heat.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pompano Beach Group Travel Transportation

How much does a charter bus rental cost in Pompano Beach?

Charter bus pricing varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and the total mileage. For example, a full-size charter bus for a long-distance trip will cost differently than a minibus for a local shuttle. Local trips are billed by the hour (with a minimum hour requirement), while long-distance trips are billed by the day or mile. To get the most accurate price, call us at 754-203-0242 with your itinerary, and we will provide a free, no-obligation quote in minutes.

Where do charter buses park at Pompano Beach attractions?

Parking regulations vary by venue. At large attractions like the Pompano Community Park or Tradewinds Park, there is usually ample designated parking for buses. However, at beachfront locations like the Fisher Family Pier, bus parking is restricted. In these cases, your driver will drop your group off at a safe, designated loading zone and then park the bus at an off-site location until you are ready to be picked up. Your driver handles all the logistics, so you don't have to worry about the meter.

How far in advance should I book my bus rental?

We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. For peak travel seasons in Florida (such as Spring Break, winter holidays, and summer), we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best pricing. However, Charter Bus Rental Company Pompano Beach also specializes in last-minute transportation needs, so don't hesitate to call us even if your trip is just around the corner.

Do you service areas outside of Pompano Beach?

Absolutely! While we love Pompano Beach, Charter Bus Rental Company Pompano Beach provides group transportation throughout the entire state of Florida. We can take your group south to Miami and the Florida Keys, north to West Palm Beach and Orlando, or across the state to Tampa and Naples. Whether you need a local shuttle or a long-distance road trip bus, we have the network and fleet to get you there.
