Bellingham Brewery & Winery Tour Bus Rentals—Ride Together, Sip Together
With Bellinghamcharterbusservices.com, securing a bus for a Bellingham brewery crawl is the easiest part of the whole evening. Bellingham's craft beer scene is one of the best in the Pacific Northwest, and the stops practically plan themselves: Boundary Bay Brewery (1107 Railroad Ave, Bellingham, WA 98225) pours northwest classics in a massive converted warehouse, Kulshan Brewing Company (2238 James St, Bellingham, WA 98225) brings a lively taproom vibe, Aslan Brewing Company (1330 N Forest St, Bellingham, WA 98225) adds organic ales to the mix, and Wander Brewing (1807 Dean Ave, Bellingham, WA 98225) rounds out the night with Belgian-inspired pours.

You set the itinerary. You pick the breweries. You enjoy every single sip!

Mt. Baker Ski Group Shuttles—Hit the Slopes Without the Stress
Got 30 seconds? That's all it takes to get pricing on a Mt. Baker ski shuttle through Bellinghamcharterbusservices.com! Mt. Baker Ski Area sits 52 miles east of Bellingham at the end of SR-542, and getting a caravan of cars up that mountain highway in winter—especially when WSDOT is issuing chain requirements or road closure alerts—turns a great ski day into a logistical headache before you even clip in.
A charter bus or minibus keeps your whole group together, handles the SR-542 corridor as one vehicle instead of twelve, and means nobody is white-knuckling it back down the mountain after a long day on the runs. Ski season runs December through April, and January through March weekends book out fast. The earlier you compare buses and lock in your date, the better your options and your price.
Fill out one quick form to see what's available for your group!
For winter trips, vehicles over 10,000 pounds must carry chains on SR-542 between mileposts 22.91 and 57.26 from November 1 through April 1; build that chain-required stretch into your Mt. Baker quote so the network can match the ride to the mountain conditions. WSDOT’s SR-542 chain requirements spell out the exact corridor.
Western Washington University Event & Graduation Transportation
Keep your whole family together on one of the biggest days of the year—WWU Commencement in June draws thousands of guests to campus, and navigating parking on High Street and around the Viking Union is a genuine challenge when every family in Whatcom County is doing the same thing at the same time. A charter bus or minibus picks everyone up from your hotel or home, drops the group at the designated loading and unloading zones near Old Main (Western Washington University, 516 High St, Bellingham, WA 98225), and stages nearby until the ceremony wraps. No parking scramble.
No splitting the family into separate cars. No missing the processional because someone couldn't find a spot. WWU also hosts concerts, sporting events, and campus visits year-round—and Bellinghamcharterbusservices.com makes finding a bus for any of them fast and easy.
Call 360-594-3150 to get your group moving!
For Commencement, the campus shuttle runs between the upper C lots off Bill McDonald Parkway and Carver Gym, while walking from the south campus lots takes about one mile; the 9G lot is the closest accessibility lot, less than a quarter mile from Carver Gym. Your bus keeps the family together instead of sending everyone into that long parking-lot walk. See the Western Washington University Commencement parking and shuttle map for the campus access layout.
Bellingham Wedding & Private Event Shuttle Buses
It's never been easier to take transportation off your wedding-day to-do list! Bellinghamcharterbusservices.com helps you compare minibuses and charter buses for every leg of your celebration—rehearsal dinner pickups, ceremony shuttles, reception runs, and late-night hotel returns. Bellingham's most sought-after venues each bring their own logistics puzzle. Hotel Bellwether (1 Bellwether Way, Bellingham, WA 98225) stages drop-offs at the roundabout on Bellwether Way along the waterfront.
Semiahmoo Resort (9565 Semiahmoo Pkwy, Blaine, WA 98230), about 20 miles north, sits on a spit that narrows the approach road—one bus beats a dozen cars navigating that stretch. Zuanich Point Park (2600 Harbor Loop Dr, Bellingham, WA 98225) offers a gorgeous waterfront backdrop with bus drop-off along Harbor Loop Drive. Wedding season runs May through October and June through September books hardest—compare buses early and lock in your date before the calendar fills!
Bellingham Airport Shuttle Buses to and From BLI, SEA & YVR
With so many travelers flying in and out of multiple airports, group airport transportation in Bellingham gets complicated fast—and Bellinghamcharterbusservices.com makes it simple. Bellingham International Airport (BLI) (4255 Mitchell Way, Bellingham, WA 98226) is just 5 miles north of downtown via I-5 Exit 258, served by Allegiant, Alaska Airlines, and United with routes to Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and beyond. Charter bus and van drop-off is at the terminal curb on Mitchell Way; contact BLI operations at (360) 676-2500 for current commercial vehicle guidance before your trip.
Groups flying into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)—90 miles south on I-5—or arriving at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) across the Canadian border can also be served through the network. One bus handles the whole group, all the luggage, and all the airport-to-hotel or hotel-to-terminal logistics in one clean run. Compare available vehicles and get pricing in seconds—call 360-594-3150 or fill out the online quote form right now!
At BLI, the ground-transportation map separates the general passenger drop-off frontage from the marked Shuttle Bus Passenger Pick Up Location; your bus can unload at the terminal, then use the designated shuttle-bus pickup point when the group is ready to leave. The Port of Bellingham’s BLI ground transportation staging map shows both locations.

Yes—group shuttles to Mt. Baker Ski Area run regularly from Bellingham and are one of the most popular winter bookings in Whatcom County. SR-542 can require chains or close temporarily during heavy snow events, so always check WSDOT road conditions for SR-542 before your trip date. Booking early is especially important for January through March weekends, when ski shuttle availability tightens significantly across the region.
Chuckanut Drive (SR-11) is a stunning coastal route, but its narrow lanes and tight curves make it unsuitable for full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches. Smaller vehicles—sprinter vans, minibuses in the 15- to 25-passenger range—handle it far more comfortably. When you fill out your quote, mention Chuckanut Drive as part of your itinerary so the right vehicle size is matched to your route from the start.
For most Bellingham trips, booking two to four months out gives you solid options and competitive pricing. For high-demand dates—WWU Commencement in June, Mt. Baker ski weekends from January through March, the Ski to Sea Race over Memorial Day weekend, and wedding season from June through September—book four to six months out or earlier. The earlier you compare and lock in your date, the better your vehicle selection and the better your price.
The Washington State Ferries Anacortes Terminal (2100 Ferry Terminal Rd, Anacortes, WA 98221) is about 30 miles south of Bellingham—roughly a 40-minute drive under normal conditions. A minibus or charter bus drops your group at the passenger terminal walk-on lane, then stages nearby while you sail. Ferry schedules fill fast in summer, especially on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings, so coordinate your bus pickup time against the actual sailing departure, not just the terminal opening time.
Fill out one quick form on Bellinghamcharterbusservices.com to compare vehicles and pricing for the Anacortes run!
For a bus sailing with the vehicle, Anacortes/San Juan Islands reservations are strongly recommended, and WSF advises arriving 45 to 60 minutes before departure; commercial and oversized vehicle tickets are handled at the terminal rather than bought online. Your bus gets the group and luggage to the correct sailing window without relying on last-minute standby space. Read the Washington State Ferries Anacortes vehicle-reservation guidance and the official WSF commercial and oversized vehicle ticket instructions before the ferry leg.
