Get School Event Transportation Pricing in Just 30 Seconds From a Network of Bus Companies
In Chesapeake, field trip logistics are more complicated than almost anywhere else in Virginia. The city covers more than 350 square miles — a school in Greenbrier can be 20-plus miles from a school in Deep Creek or South Norfolk, and that distance matters when you're trying to get 45 students somewhere and back on a tight schedule. Chesapeakecoachbuscompany.com makes it easy to find the right bus for your headcount, your route, and your date, by connecting you to a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Chesapeake and all of Hampton Roads. Fill out one form, compare vehicles and pricing side by side, and choose the bus that works for your group — no calling around, no waiting on callbacks, and no account needed.

Get Your Class to the Great Dismal Swamp Without the Carpool Chaos
You'll love how simple it is to get your students to the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge when one bus handles the whole class. The Washington Ditch entrance at 3076 White Marsh Road in Suffolk is the right approach for large vehicles, with parking 1 mile from the entrance on White Marsh Road where the bus unloads your group and stages while you explore the boardwalk and Lake Drummond. The Washington Ditch Trail includes a 3/4-mile boardwalk and 4 1/2 miles of dirt road to Lake Drummond, as shown in the Great Dismal Swamp trail guide.
Your bus leaves the class at the actual Washington Ditch parking area, so the field trip starts on foot without a confusing first-mile search. No admission fee means your budget goes further — and no parent carpool convoy means every student arrives together. Compare minibuses and charter buses from a network of companies serving Chesapeake and the surrounding area, find the right fit for your headcount, and get your class outside for one of Virginia's most unique outdoor classrooms.

Hampton Roads Field Trips Deserve a Bus That Handles the Route
Ready to compare buses for a field trip across Hampton Roads? Whether your class is crossing into Norfolk on I-64 to visit Nauticus (1 Waterside Dr, Norfolk, VA 23510) and the Battleship Wisconsin, heading to the Children's Museum of Virginia (221 High St, Portsmouth, VA 23704) in downtown Portsmouth, or making the run to First Landing State Park (2500 Shore Dr, Virginia Beach, VA 23451) on the North End, the right bus keeps your whole group on one itinerary — no splitting students across parent cars, no coordinating multiple pickups. Nauticus does not provide on-site parking, and motor coaches and school buses may not remain on-site; buses load and unload in the front circle, then use free parking at Harbor Park about eight blocks away, as detailed in the Nauticus field-trip parking instructions.
Your bus unloads at the waterfront, parks at Harbor Park, and brings everyone back together without sending cars into downtown. Chesapeakecoachbuscompany.com lets you compare vehicles and pricing from a large network of companies serving Chesapeake and all of Hampton Roads in under 30 seconds. One form, one results page, and your field trip transportation is handled!
Virginia Zoo and Virginia Aquarium Field Trips Start With the Right Ride
With Chesapeakecoachbuscompany.com, you get access to buses sized for every class — from a compact minibus for a small group to a 56-passenger motorcoach when the whole grade is coming along. The Virginia Zoo (3500 Granby St, Norfolk, VA 23504) has designated bus parking in the main lot off Granby Street, with buses unloading right at the main gate. The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center puts oversized vehicles in the designated section of the main lot on General Booth Boulevard, steps from the main entrance canopy.
Full-size buses use the Aquarium's North Building spaces near the boat dock or the East Lot across General Booth Boulevard; the South Building has no oversized-vehicle parking, according to the Virginia Aquarium bus parking instructions. Your bus uses the North Building side, so the class walks in together without trying to force a coach into the South Building lot. Both destinations require advance group reservations — lock in your bus just as early.

It depends on your headcount, including students and chaperones. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus works well for smaller groups or split-class trips; a 56-passenger charter bus handles a full grade level. Chesapeake's large geographic footprint means some schools are 20-plus miles from popular destinations like the Virginia Aquarium or Nauticus — a full-size motorcoach with reclining seats and overhead storage makes that ride a lot more comfortable.
Mention your exact count when you request your quote and the results will match your group!
Absolutely! Both are among the most popular field trip destinations from Chesapeake. The Virginia Aquarium has designated bus parking in the main lot on General Booth Boulevard.
The Virginia Zoo parks buses in the main lot off Granby Street, right at the main gate. Both require advance school group reservations — book your bus just as early. Use the online tool or call 757-796-1250 to get pricing for your date!
Yes! ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms are available through the network of transportation companies on this site. Just mention your accessibility needs when you fill out the quote form or when you call 757-796-1250, and the results will reflect vehicles that can accommodate your group.
It's that simple — one note on the form, and the right bus shows up in your results.
Book as early as possible — ideally four to six weeks out for most field trips, and six months or more for spring dates. April and May are the single busiest months for buses across Hampton Roads, with Chesapeake City Public Schools prom season at Great Bridge, Oscar Smith, Western Branch, Deep Creek, and Grassfield High Schools all competing for the same vehicles at the same time. Earlier booking means more options and better pricing.
Waiting until the last minute costs more and risks no availability at all. Call 757-796-1250 or use the online tool to lock in your date!
Yes, and it's one of the best outdoor classroom field trips in all of Hampton Roads! The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is free to visit, and the Washington Ditch entrance at 3076 White Marsh Road in Suffolk is the right approach for large vehicles — parking is 1 mile from the entrance on White Marsh Road while your class explores. Fill out the quote form with your student count and date, and you'll see available buses from the network in seconds.
