The Drive North
St. Augustine is about 105 miles northeast of Orlando via I-4 and I-95, a drive that takes roughly 2 hours. The route passes through Daytona Beach and the scenic Matanzas River corridor before arriving in America's oldest city, founded by Spain in 1565.
Top Group Attractions
St. Augustine's historic district is compact and walkable, making it ideal for group tours. Must-see stops include Castillo de San Marcos, the Lightner Museum, Flagler College, and the St. Augustine Lighthouse. The Old Town Trolley provides hop-on-hop-off service once you arrive.
Bus Logistics in St. Augustine
Downtown St. Augustine has limited parking for large vehicles, but designated bus drop-off and staging areas exist near the Visitor Information Center on Castillo Drive. BusBrother drivers know the routing restrictions and will handle parking while your group explores.
Planning Your Day Trip
We recommend departing Orlando by 7:30 AM to arrive before the crowds. A full day in St. Augustine with a 5 PM departure gets your group back to Orlando by 7 PM. Groups can also add a stop at Marineland or Washington Oaks Gardens State Park on the return.
