Charter Bus from LA to Kings Canyon National Park
Comfortable Group Charter Service to the Giant Forest's Northern Neighbor
Kings Canyon National Park sits right next to Sequoia, about 230 miles and roughly 4.5 hours from Los Angeles via CA-99 and CA-180. It's home to the General Grant Tree, the dramatic Kings River Canyon, and quieter trails than its more famous neighbors. Our charter buses handle the full drive so your group can relax instead of splitting up into multiple cars, with on-board restrooms, power outlets, and plenty of luggage space for hiking gear and coolers.

Why Choose LA Bus Service for Your Charter Bus Rental to Kings Canyon?
The drive up CA-180 climbs from the Central Valley into the Sierra foothills before reaching Kings Canyon's Grant Grove entrance. We handle that climb every week for groups headed to Sequoia and its neighboring parks, so your group gets an experienced driver, a comfortable coach, and one straightforward pickup instead of coordinating several cars.
Experienced Sierra Foothill Drivers
Our drivers regularly make the climb up CA-180 into the Sierra foothills for Sequoia and Kings Canyon trips, so your group gets a steady, unhurried ride on the mountain curves.
Comfortable for the Long Drive
Air-conditioned cabins, reclining seats, and on-board restrooms make the roughly 4.5-hour drive from LA easy on your group, whether it's a day trip or the start of a longer Sierra stay.
Room for Group Gear
Under-floor cargo bays hold hiking packs, coolers, and camping gear so your group's seating area stays clear and comfortable for the ride.
Serving Kings Canyon National Park Transportation From Los Angeles & Beyond
Our charter buses provide direct transport to Grant Grove, Cedar Grove, and the General Grant Tree from locations across the Greater Los Angeles Area, including: Downtown LA, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Beverly Hills, the San Fernando Valley, and Orange County.
Kings Canyon shares an entrance area with Sequoia National Park, so we regularly combine both parks into a single itinerary for groups who want to see the Giant Forest and Kings Canyon's own groves in one trip.

Route Familiarity on CA-180
The climb from the Central Valley up CA-180 to Grant Grove has some winding sections. Our drivers make this same run for Sequoia and Kings Canyon groups on a regular basis, so they know the road, the pace, and where to expect traffic near the entrance station.

Room for Hiking and Camping Gear
A trip into Kings Canyon usually means backpacks, hiking poles, and cold-weather layers. Our under-floor cargo bays keep all of that out of the passenger cabin, so there's still plenty of legroom and nothing rolling around loose on the winding roads.
Straightforward Park Entry
We plan your pickup time and route around the entrance station and typical seasonal traffic at Big Stump and Grant Grove, so your group isn't stuck waiting at the gate longer than necessary.
Flexible Around Your Hiking Schedule
Trail time doesn't always run on schedule. Book a charter with a return time that fits your group's plans, and if things run long, call our dispatch team to adjust the pickup.
