Planning a long day trip
A park day from Tampa is a long day for your driver as well as your group. Federal rules limit bus drivers to 10 hours of driving and no driving after 15 hours on duty. A typical park day, with about 3 hours of round-trip driving and a full day of waiting, fits within one driver's shift when the schedule is planned carefully. Very long days may need a second driver or an overnight stay.
We plan the timing with you before you book, so the schedule is one we can run legally and safely.
