A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Birkdale Village
Birkdale Village (8712 Lindholm Dr, Huntersville, NC 28078) is the premier destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment in the Lake Norman area. This mixed-use lifestyle center is designed with a charming Main Street feel, making it an ideal spot for private group outings, bachelorette parties, or corporate luncheons. When you rent a bus to Birkdale Village, your group can enjoy dozens of high-end boutiques, a state-of-the-art movie theater, and a wide array of restaurants ranging from casual bites to fine dining. Because the village is often bustling, especially during weekend events and the summer concert series, parking can be a major challenge for multiple personal vehicles. By booking a minibus or charter bus, your driver can drop your group off at the designated loading zones near the fountain or the Regal Cinema entrance, allowing everyone to begin their day of shopping immediately. After you've had your fill of retail therapy and a delicious meal at a local favorite like Dressler’s or Red Rocks Cafe, your driver will be waiting at a pre-arranged pickup point to whisk you away. No more searching for parking spots or splitting up into multiple rideshares! Let Charter Bus Huntersville provide a sleek, air-conditioned ride to this Huntersville mainstay so your group can focus on the fun rather than the logistics.
Historic Latta Plantation
Step back in time with a group visit to Historic Latta Plantation (5225 Sample Rd, Huntersville, NC 28078), a circa 1800 cotton plantation and living history farm. This site is a top choice for school field trips in Huntersville, as it offers students a hands-on look at life in the backcountry during the 19th century. Visitors can tour the original plantation house, outbuildings, and meet farm animals that were typical of the era. Organizing a field trip with Charter Bus Huntersville ensures that your students, teachers, and chaperones travel together in a modern coach equipped with climate control to beat the North Carolina humidity. Unlike a standard yellow school bus, our charter buses offer reclining seats and overhead storage for backpacks and lunches. The entrance to the Latta Nature Preserve can be narrow, but the drivers are well-versed in navigating the winding roads of Sample Road to reach the main parking area. There is ample space for oversized vehicle parking, and our team will coordinate with the venue to ensure a smooth arrival. Beyond history, the surrounding nature preserve offers miles of hiking trails and access to Mountain Island Lake, making it a perfect spot for a church retreat or a family picnic. Let us handle the driving while your group enjoys the scenic beauty and historical significance of this Huntersville landmark.
Carolina Raptor Center
Located within the Latta Nature Preserve, the Carolina Raptor Center (6000 Sample Rd, Huntersville, NC 28078) is a world-class facility dedicated to the environmental education and the rehabilitation of birds of prey. It is an incredible destination for nature lovers, photography clubs, and science-focused school groups. The center features a ¾-mile Raptor Trail where visitors can see over 30 species of birds, including eagles, hawks, owls, and vultures, in outdoor aviaries. Booking a private bus rental with Charter Bus Huntersville allows your group to travel comfortably to this secluded location without the stress of navigating the nature preserve in multiple cars.

Today, it is a premier venue for large-scale events, including the Loch Norman Highland Games, the Rural Hill Amazing Maize Maze, and various heritage festivals. If you are organizing a group to attend one of these massive events, a charter bus rental is the smartest way to travel. The roads leading to Rural Hill, particularly Neck Road, can become extremely congested during festival weekends, and parking on-site often involves trekking through grass fields.

Discovery Place Kids-Huntersville
Discovery Place Kids-Huntersville (105 Gilead Rd, Huntersville, NC 28078) is a vibrant, interactive museum designed specifically for children, making it the top destination for preschool and elementary school field trips in the region. The museum features various "neighborhoods" where kids can engage in imaginative play, explore a miniature town, and learn about science and health through hands-on exhibits. Because the museum is located in the heart of downtown Huntersville near the busy Gilead Road and Highway 115 intersection, coordinating a caravan of parents can be a logistical headache. A private bus rental from Charter Bus Huntersville keeps your entire class together and allows teachers to manage headcounts easily. Our minibuses are equipped with onboard TV screens and DVD players, perfect for keeping little ones entertained with an educational video on the short drive to the museum. We’ll coordinate with the museum staff to utilize the designated bus drop-off zone on Gilead Road, ensuring your students can enter the facility quickly.Choosing a professional bus service ensures a comfortable, reliable, and fun day of learning for everyone involved.

Lake Norman (Blythe Landing Park)
Huntersville is a primary gateway to Lake Norman, the largest man-made lake in North Carolina. Blythe Landing Park (15901 NC-73, Huntersville, NC 28078) is the perfect spot for groups to access the water, featuring boat launches, floating piers, and a playground. Whether you are planning a corporate team-building day on a chartered boat, a fishing excursion for your social club, or a family reunion picnic by the water, Lake Norman offers endless recreation. However, parking at Blythe Landing is notoriously limited, especially for vehicles with trailers or large groups during the summer months. Charter Bus Huntersville can provide a dedicated shuttle service for your lake day, dropping your group off directly at the park entrance and returning at a scheduled time. Our full-size motorcoaches offer massive undercarriage storage, which is ideal for stashing life jackets, coolers, fishing gear, and picnic supplies. If your group is heading to one of the nearby lakeside restaurants for dinner, such as Hello, Sailor or Port City Club, your driver will be your designated driver for the evening, allowing everyone to enjoy the sunset and a few drinks responsibly.
