Browse Party Buses, Minibuses, and Charter Buses for School Event Transportation
Reddingcharterbuscompany.com makes it incredibly easy to compare every bus type your field trip might need! Smaller classroom groups heading to Whiskeytown National Recreation Area (14412 Kennedy Memorial Dr, Whiskeytown, CA 96095) for a ranger-led environmental program are a great fit for a 15- to 35-passenger minibus — compact enough to navigate the Visitor Center lot and right-sized for one teacher and a handful of chaperones. Larger grade-level trips to Lake Shasta Caverns (20359 Shasta Caverns Rd, O'Brien, CA 96070) or the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento call for a full 56-passenger motorcoach with undercarriage luggage bays for backpacks, lunch bags, and gear.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network too — just mention it when you request your quote. You choose the bus that works for your students!

Take Your Class to Turtle Bay Exploration Park Without the Carpool Chaos
Call 530-710-1930 today and get your Turtle Bay field trip transportation sorted in minutes! Turtle Bay Exploration Park (844 Sundial Bridge Dr, Redding, CA 96003) is one of the most popular field trip destinations in all of Northern California — and for good reason. Between the natural history museum, the aquarium, the butterfly house, Paul Bunyan's Forest Camp, and the stunning Sundial Bridge, there's enough to fill a full school day.
Turtle Bay requires advance booking for school groups, and the main lot on Sundial Bridge Drive has room for buses to drop off and stage. Instead of organizing a long line of parent carpools, one minibus or charter bus keeps your whole class together from the school parking lot to the Sundial Bridge and back. Compare your options and lock in your date before spring field trip season fills up!
Moving a Full Grade Level to Shasta Dam or Lassen Volcanic National Park
Moving a full grade level to Shasta Dam (16349 Shasta Dam Blvd, Shasta Lake, CA 96019) or Lassen Volcanic National Park is one of the most memorable things a Redding-area school can do — and one of the most logistically demanding. Shasta Dam's free guided tours run first-come, first-served — tickets are handed out at the visitor center about an hour before each tour and groups are capped at 20 people, so arriving early matters for a spring school trip — and bus parking is available near the visitor center for easy drop-off. Lassen's Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center offers ranger-led educational programs for school groups, arranged directly with park staff well ahead of your trip date.
A 56-passenger charter bus with undercarriage storage handles the backpacks, lunches, and science journals while students stretch out in reclining seats for the drive. Compare available charter buses through Reddingcharterbuscompany.com and get your transportation locked in before the buses are gone!
Ready to Compare Buses for a Carter House or Whiskeytown Field Trip?
Ready to compare buses for a quick half-day trip to Carter House Gallery or an afternoon at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area? These are two of the most-loved local field trip stops for Redding-area elementary schools — and both are close enough that a 15- to 35-passenger minibus is often all you need. Carter House Gallery sits right inside Caldwell Park, with bus drop-off along Quartz Hill Road.
Whiskeytown is just 8 miles west on Hwy 299, with a visitor center lot that accommodates buses and ranger programs that require advance scheduling. Reddingcharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare minibuses and pricing from a network of independent operators serving Redding — fill out one quick form and see your options in seconds!
Let Reddingcharterbuscompany.com Handle Transportation for Your Lake Shasta Caverns Group Trip
Let Reddingcharterbuscompany.com take the transportation stress off your plate for a Lake Shasta Caverns field trip — one of the most unique experiences available to Redding-area students. About 17 miles north of Redding, the caverns include a ferry ride across the McCloud Arm of Lake Shasta before the guided cave tour begins, which means your group needs to arrive together and on time. The bus parks in the main lot at the base while the ferry takes your students across; group rates for schools are available for groups of 20 or more, with reservations required at least 72 hours in advance.
A charter bus keeps your whole class on one schedule, one pickup, and one drop-off instead of staggering arrivals across a dozen parent cars. Fill out one quick form on this page to compare available buses and pricing from a network of independent operators serving Northern California!

For spring field trips — the busiest season in Redding, running March through May — book your bus 4 to 8 weeks in advance. Popular destinations like Shasta Dam and Lassen Volcanic National Park fill their guided tour slots fast during spring, so locking in transportation early keeps your options open. Fall trips to Turtle Bay or Whiskeytown are easier to book on shorter notice, but earlier is always better for getting the right bus size and price.
It depends on your headcount. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus works well for single-classroom trips to nearby destinations like Carter House Gallery or Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. A 56-passenger charter bus is the right call for full grade-level trips to Shasta Dam, Lassen Volcanic National Park, or Sacramento.
Through Reddingcharterbuscompany.com, you can compare both sizes from a network of independent operators and find the one that fits your exact student and chaperone count!
Yes — full-size 56-passenger charter buses come with large undercarriage luggage bays that handle backpacks, lunch bags, and any science or art supplies your group is bringing along. Minibuses have overhead compartments and a rear luggage area for smaller loads. When you fill out your quote, mention any oversized equipment or special storage needs and the network will match you with a bus that fits!

Availability varies by operator, so the earlier you request, the more options you'll have to choose from.
Absolutely. Multi-stop pickup routes — for example, picking up at one elementary school, then swinging by a second campus before heading to Turtle Bay or Shasta Dam — are common and easy to arrange. Just list your pickup locations in order when you fill out the quote form, or walk through the stops with an agent at 530-710-1930.
The pricing you see will already account for the full route and timing.
Yes! The network of transportation companies serving Redding handles longer-distance field trips too — including the roughly 2.5-hour run down I-5 to Sacramento for visits to the California State Capitol, the California State Railroad Museum, or the Crocker Art Museum. Full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches with reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms make the longer ride comfortable for students and chaperones alike.
