Charter bus service in Malibu

Malibu stretches about 21 miles along Pacific Coast Highway, and nearly every group trip here depends on that one road. PCH has had fire and storm closures in recent years, so the operator checks the current status before every trip.

Pepperdine University hosts events, graduations and athletics. Weddings at bluff-top estates, beach clubs and restaurants are common, and many venues have steep private drives that cannot take a coach.

Beach days at Zuma, Point Dume and El Matador draw school and youth groups, and canyon roads like Malibu Canyon and Kanan Dume connect Malibu to the Valley and Thousand Oaks.

Trips are matched to operators near the pickup, priced all-in and tracked live. For many Malibu venues, a minibus or sprinter van is the right vehicle.
