Of course, each stop includes a delicious breakfast treat.
Lee County: Sailing Teambuilding
Whether it’s kayaking on the Calusa Blueway (several outfitters are available on Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach) or learning to sail on Pine Island Sound or the Gulf of Mexico with Steve and Doris Colgate’s Offshore Sailing School, there are literally dozens of options. Sailing teambuilding excursions encourage individuals to work together as a team and there’s no experience required.
St. Augustine: Teambuilding with Dolphins
The professional trainers at Marineland Dolphin Adventure have created a teambuilding program based on the book Whale Done! The Power of Positive Relationships. This full-day corporate experience uses the park’s dolphins as a metaphor to help teams create a culture of catching people doing things right. Groups can also go behind the scenes with a special pass that lets them “below the decks” to learn the history of the park and see hundreds of species of exotic sea life.
Orlando: Axe Throwing
Epic Axe Throwing in downtown Orlando, where groups can reserve 12-ft ax-throwing lanes and learn from personal axe-throwing coaches.
