A Group Travel Guide to Homestead, Florida's Best Destinations

Coral Castle Museum

One of the most perplexing and fascinating sites in all of Florida is the Coral Castle Museum. Often compared to Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids, this structure was built single-handedly by Edward Leedskalnin. Legend has it that Ed, a 5-foot tall, 100-pound man, carved and moved over 1,100 tons of coral rock to build this monument to his lost love. To this day, engineers and scientists are baffled by how he managed to construct it without modern machinery.

For groups, the Coral Castle offers an intriguing look into local history and engineering mystery. It is a fantastic stop for educational field trips, senior tour groups, and anyone who loves a good roadside oddity. However, the parking lot at the museum is relatively compact and fills up quickly with standard vehicles. By renting a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Homestead, your driver can drop your group right at the front gate (28655 S Dixie Hwy, Homestead, FL 33033) and handle the parking logistics while you take the guided tour. You can debrief on the bus afterward, using the onboard PA system to share theories on how Ed moved the stones!

Homestead-Miami Speedway

If your group feels the need for speed, the Homestead-Miami Speedway is the premier destination in the area. This world-class track hosts major NASCAR championships, including the Dixie Vodka 400, as well as various other racing series throughout the year. The energy on race day is electric, with thousands of fans descending upon Homestead to watch the cars tear up the 1.5-mile oval track.

Traveling to the Speedway (One Ralph Sanchez, Speedway Blvd, Homestead, FL 33035) during a major event can be stressful due to heavy traffic congestion and sprawling parking lots that require long walks to the gates. A private charter bus rental is a game-changer for race fans. Your bus serves as your mobile base of operations. You can pack coolers, folding chairs, and tailgating gear into the spacious undercarriage storage bays. Your driver will navigate the race-day gridlock, dropping you off as close to the action as possible. After the checkered flag waves, you can relax in a reclining seat and enjoy the air conditioning while everyone else is fighting to get out of the parking lot.

Everglades National Park (Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center)

Homestead is the immediate neighbor to one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. The Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center serves as the main entrance to the Everglades National Park for those coming from the Miami area. This is where your group can start an adventure into the "River of Grass." From here, you can access the Anhinga Trail, arguably the best place to see alligators, turtles, and herons in the wild.

Because the park is vast and mobile service can be spotty, keeping a convoy of cars together is nearly impossible. A charter bus rental ensures that your nature-loving group stays united. The ride to the visitor center (40001 State Road 9336, Homestead, FL 33034) takes you through the scenic agricultural areas of Homestead. Onboard your bus, you can use the TV monitors and DVD player to show educational documentaries about the Everglades ecosystem before you arrive, prepping students or tourists for what they are about to see. Plus, after a hot, humid hike on the Gumbo Limbo trail, nothing beats stepping back onto a climate-controlled bus.

Fruit & Spice Park

Located in the heart of the Redland area of Homestead, the Fruit & Spice Park is a 37-acre botanical garden unlike any other. It is the only public garden of its kind in the United States, hosting over 500 varieties of fruit, vegetables, spices, and herbs from around the world. It’s a sensory experience where visitors can see mangoes, lychees, jackfruit, and exotic bananas growing right on the tree. While you cannot pick fruit from the trees, you are allowed to eat anything that has naturally fallen to the ground!

This destination (24801 SW 187th Ave, Homestead, FL 33031) is perfect for garden clubs, culinary schools, and school field trips. Organizing a group lunch here is popular, particularly at the Mango Cafe. When you book a minibus or charter bus, you have plenty of room to store any exotic fruits, jams, or jellies your group purchases at the gift shop. Your driver can wait comfortably while your group takes the guided tram tour, ensuring a prompt departure for your next destination.

Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery

For adult groups, bachelorette parties, and corporate retreats, Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery is a must-visit oasis. This isn't your typical winery; instead of grapes, Peter Schnebly makes wine from the local tropical fruits of Homestead, including avocado, passion fruit, lychee, and guava. The estate features a massive tiki hut, beautiful waterfalls, and a lush courtyard that feels like a tropical resort.

Alcohol and driving never mix, which is why a charter bus rental is the safest and most responsible choice for visiting Schnebly’s (30205 SW 217th Ave, Homestead, FL 33030). Your bus driver acts as the ultimate designated driver. Your entire party can enjoy wine tastings and beer flights without worrying about rideshare surcharges or navigating rural roads after dark. We can arrange a party bus or a sleek minibus to transport your group in style, complete with AUX connections so you can play your own party playlist en route to the vineyard.

Biscayne National Park (Convoy Point)

Did you know Homestead offers access to a National Park that is 95% underwater? Biscayne National Park protects coral reefs, mangrove forests, and the sparkling waters of Biscayne Bay. Convoy Point is the headquarters and the only part of the park accessible by car (or bus). From here (9700 SW 328th St, Homestead, FL 33033), groups can embark on guided boat tours to Boca Chita Key, go snorkeling, or simply enjoy a picnic by the water looking out toward the keys.

Group logistics here require timing, especially if you have reservations for a boat tour. A missed arrival means a missed boat. Charter Bus Rental Company Homestead prides itself on punctuality. We plan the route to ensure you arrive with plenty of time to check in, use the restrooms, and board your vessel. Large storage bays on our full-sized coaches are perfect for storing snorkeling gear, towels, and change of clothes for the whole group, keeping the cabin clutter-free.

Knaus Berry Farm

If you are visiting Homestead between November and mid-April, a stop at Knaus Berry Farm is non-negotiable. Famous for their sticky, sweet cinnamon rolls and fresh strawberry milkshakes, this family-owned farm has been a staple since 1956. It is also a working farm where groups can pick their own strawberries and tomatoes.

However, Knaus Berry Farm (15980 SW 248th St, Homestead, FL 33031) is legendary for its lines, which can sometimes wrap around the block. This is where having a charter bus is a luxury. While part of your group waits in line to secure the baked goods, others can wait in the cool comfort of the bus, rotating out as needed. Once the goods are secured, you can enjoy your cinnamon rolls at the onsite picnic tables or bring them back on the bus (just ask your reservation specialist about food and drink policies!) to enjoy on the way to your next stop.

Robert Is Here Fruit Stand

No trip to Homestead is complete without visiting Robert Is Here. What started as a roadside fruit stand has exploded into a massive open-air market selling rare tropical fruits, vegetables, honey, and their world-famous fresh fruit milkshakes and smoothies. There is also a petting zoo in the back and live music on weekends, making it a hit for families and tour groups.

Located at 19200 SW 344th St, Homestead, FL 33034, this is the last stop on the mainland before you hit the stretch to the Florida Keys. The parking lot is often chaotic, filled with tourists and locals alike. A charter bus eliminates the stress of finding five or six parking spots for a caravan. Your driver can drop the group off right at the entrance to order shakes and see the animals. The ample storage on our buses means you can load up on crates of mangoes, dragon fruit, or jars of honey to take home without cramping your legroom.
