A Group Travel Guide to Vallejo, California's Best Destinations

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

If there is one attraction that puts Vallejo on the map, it is undoubtedly Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. This 135-acre animal theme park is unique because it combines a marine life aquarium, a zoo, and an amusement park all in one location. Your group can start the day watching a dolphin demonstration, move on to feeding giraffes, and finish by screaming their lungs out on world-class roller coasters like Medusa or The Joker. It is the ultimate destination for youth groups, senior class grad nights, and corporate team-building days.

However, getting a large group into a major theme park can be stressful. The parking lot at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is massive, and parking fees can add up quickly if everyone drives separately. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Vallejo, we drop your group off right at the designated group entrance (1001 Fairgrounds Dr, Vallejo, CA 94589). Your driver handles the vehicle while your group heads straight for the turnstiles. Plus, after a long day of walking in the sun, there is nothing better than collapsing into a reclining seat in a climate-controlled bus, rather than fighting traffic in a hot car on I-80. We make the trip home just as enjoyable as the day at the park.

Mare Island Naval Shipyard

For history buffs and educational groups, a visit to Mare Island is a non-negotiable part of any Vallejo itinerary. As the first United States naval base established on the West Coast, Mare Island has a rich history spanning back to the 1850s. Today, it is a fascinating mix of historic landmarks, hiking trails, and repurposed industrial spaces. Your group can tour the majestic St. Peter's Chapel (1181 Walnut Ave, Vallejo, CA 94592), famous for its stunning Tiffany stained-glass windows, or visit the dry docks where ships were built for over a century. The island is also home to a growing number of breweries and distilleries, making it a great spot for adult groups as well.

Navigating Mare Island can be tricky for first-time visitors, as it is a sprawling area with various points of interest spread out over miles. A private charter bus rental allows you to create a custom hop-on, hop-off tour for your group. We can shuttle you from the historic core to the Preserve at the southern end of the island for a nature walk, and then over to Savage & Cooke for a whiskey tasting. With Charter Bus Rental Company Vallejo, you don't have to worry about reading maps or coordinating convoys between historic sites—your driver follows your specific itinerary to the letter.

San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge

Sometimes your group just needs to disconnect and enjoy the natural beauty of the Bay Area. The San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge offers thousands of acres of tidal marsh and open water, providing a sanctuary for migratory birds and endangered species. It is a fantastic location for photography clubs, biology field trips, or simply nature lovers looking for a serene hike. The Cullinan Ranch Trail offers expansive views and flat walking paths that are accessible for most fitness levels.

Access points to the refuge can be located off busy highways like State Route 37, where parking is often limited and not designed for large caravans of cars. A minibus rental is the perfect solution. We can drop your group off safely at the trailhead (accessible via 2100 Sears Point Rd, Sonoma, CA 95476 for nearby trailheads) and wait nearby until you are ready to be picked up. Plus, our buses offer ample overhead storage and undercarriage bays, meaning you have plenty of room for binoculars, cameras, hiking poles, and picnic lunches. Enjoy the fresh air without the stress of parking logistics.

Vallejo Naval & Historical Museum

Located in the heart of downtown, the Vallejo Naval & Historical Museum (734 Marin St, Vallejo, CA 94590) is a treasure trove of local heritage. Housed in the old Vallejo City Hall, this museum features five galleries dedicated to the history of the U.S. Navy presence at Mare Island and the general history of Vallejo. It is an essential stop for school field trips learning about California history or military reunion groups looking to reconnect with the past. The museum frequently hosts community events and rotating exhibits, ensuring there is always something new to see.

Parking in downtown Vallejo can be hit or miss, especially if you are trying to find spots for 20 or more cars. By booking a charter bus, you eliminate the downtown parking scramble entirely. Your driver can drop your group right in front of the museum on Marin Street. While you explore the exhibits, your bus will park in a designated area, ready to pick you up when you are finished. If you are planning a full day of culture, we can easily shuttle your group from the museum to nearby art galleries or lunch spots on Georgia Street.

The Empress Theatre

For a touch of old-school glamour and live entertainment, the Empress Theatre (330 Virginia St, Vallejo, CA 94590) is a Vallejo landmark. Built in 1911, this historic Beaux-Arts theatre has survived earthquakes and fires to remain a cultural hub for the city. Today, it hosts everything from live concerts and comedy shows to film festivals and private events. It is a fantastic venue for a corporate night out, a large birthday celebration, or a senior group excursion to see a symphony performance.

Attending a show with a large group is always more fun when you don't have to worry about the drive home, especially if your evening involves cocktails or a late finish. With a party bus or charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Vallejo, your transportation becomes part of the event. You can play music over the bus's sound system to get hyped for the concert or relax in plush seats to debrief after the show. We serve as your designated driver, ensuring everyone in your party arrives home together.

Blue Rock Springs Park

If you are planning a family reunion, a company picnic, or a community barbecue, Blue Rock Springs Park (650 Columbus Pkwy, Vallejo, CA 94591) is one of the best outdoor venues in the city. This historic park is famous for its sulfur springs (which drew visitors as far back as the 19th century) and its resident peacocks that roam freely across the grounds. With plenty of picnic tables, BBQ pits, playgrounds, and hiking trails, it offers something for everyone in your group.

Transporting food, coolers, games, and family members to the park is much easier with a charter bus. Our buses come with massive undercarriage storage bays, perfect for hauling sports equipment, folding chairs, and catering supplies. Instead of coordinating who is bringing what car and hoping everyone finds the right picnic area, load everyone onto a single bus. You can start the family bonding the moment you leave your driveway. Plus, with air-conditioning on board, you have a cool place to retreat to if the Vallejo sun gets a little too warm.

Vallejo Ferry Terminal

While the ferry terminal itself is a transit hub, it is also a gateway to one of the most scenic experiences in the Bay Area. Located at 289 Mare Island Way, Vallejo, CA 94590, the terminal offers high-speed catamaran service directly to the San Francisco Ferry Building and Pier 41. For tour groups staying in Vallejo to save on hotel costs, the ferry is a magical way to see the city. However, getting your group from your hotel to the ferry terminal with luggage can be a hassle.

Charter Bus Rental Company Vallejo offers seamless shuttle services to and from the Ferry Terminal. We can pick your group up from local hotels like the Courtyard by Marriott or a vacation rental and drop you curb-side at the terminal. If you are using the ferry for a day trip into San Francisco, we can coordinate a morning drop-off and an evening pickup. It allows you to enjoy the boat ride across the bay without worrying about leaving cars in the long-term parking lot or paying daily parking fees for multiple vehicles.

Benicia State Recreation Area

Just a stone's throw from Vallejo lies the Benicia State Recreation Area (1 State Park Rd, Benicia, CA 94510), a hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts. This park covers marshland, grassy hills, and rocky beaches along the Carquinez Strait. It is an excellent spot for cyclists, runners, and hikers. The park offers stunning views of the bridges and the bay, making it a prime location for landscape painting groups or photography workshops.

Because the recreation area is spread out, having a charter bus is incredibly convenient. We can drop your cyclists at one end of a trail and pick them up at the other, or serve as a mobile base camp for a day of exploration. Our buses offer comfortable seating where athletes can rest and rehydrate after a workout. If you are planning a multi-stop outdoor adventure involving Blue Rock Springs and Benicia, a private bus rental gives you the flexibility to move between parks on your own schedule, maximizing your time in nature.
