Itinerary Ideas.
Gig Harbor Gourmands.
The harbor has become widely known for craft beverages — from local breweries to distilleries. Here, a group of 25 heads out on a tasting tour, culminating in a private dinner at the Gig Harbor Marina, after a day-long training session and accommodations at the Inn at Gig Harbor.
ON THE WATER.
In the summer months, host an activity-focused group with an Airbnb rental comprised of two houses with access to a beach and lighthouse. Wake up to a morning paddleboard lesson, take in a Summer Sounds concert from the beach, and enjoy a dinner party on the water in an electric Duffy boat rental or book a float-and-catch excursion with the Gig Harbor Fly Shop.
LIKE A KID AGAIN.
Gig Harbor’s parks provide an incredible way to explore. Group bike rentals give the group a connected pathway to explore, from the middle of the Harbor and across the Narrows Bridge. At night, enjoy the event space and arcade and duckpin bowling of Ocean5. Accommodations at the Best Western Wesley Inn also mean a dip in the pool in the afternoon!
Masters of Their Craft.
Attendees participate in a team-building exercise where the “build” part is taken literally - you’ll end up taking home a traditional skiff boat your group has crafted. After breakfast at the lauded Harbor General Store, the evening’s event at the Harbor History Museum with a docent-led gallery experience. Accomodations at downtown’s Maritime Inn mean the full itinerary is walkable.
