Book Your Next Conference in the Florida Keys

Join the Conch Republic Marine Army, a dedicated grassroots volunteer organization actively cleaning Florida Keys marine habitats since 2017. With over 227 tons of debris removed along 43 miles of the Lower Keys shoreline, this army of volunteers navigates mangroves and brackish waters every Saturday. Groups can schedule private weekday cleanup excursions through the organization – just come prepared in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.

Organized by Southernmost Scavenger Hunt, a Key West-based company specializing in group activities, the Build a Bike, Build a Dream program injects a community-focused twist into team-building. Teams compete to win bicycle components, earning points for effective communication, followed by assembly. The finished bikes are then given to local youth initiatives, like the Boys & Girls Club of the Keys, as meaningful donations.

Orchestrated by Southernmost Scavenger Hunt, this popular program sends teams on a whirlwind adventure across Key West, tackling a set of distinct challenges and tasks. Picture it as an ideal opportunity to enhance teamwork skills while discovering the distinctive sites and allure of this southernmost island. Cap off the experience with an awards ceremony and cocktail reception at Sunset Key Cottages.

Another brainchild of Southernmost Scavenger Hunt, the “Pole Position Produce” activity resembles the traditional Pinewood Derby – with a twist. Instead of crafting miniature cars from a wooden block, teams can only utilize fruits, vegetables, and essential supplies like toothpicks and bamboo skewers. The outcome? Some very impressive group creativity and collaboration. Points are granted based on style, solid construction, and speed.

Group can learn about cutting-edge coral restoration efforts with a public tour or private tour (limited to 12 guests) of Mote Marine Laboratory’s three coral-growing campuses in the Keys. For a more immersive experience, consider their hands-on “Slice of Paradise” program, available at their Islamorada and Key Largo locations. Groups of five participants engage in “microfragmentation” and then mount coral bits onto ceramic pedestals within a tank where they grow to the appropriate size for eventual out-planting.

Take a refreshing break between meetings with a relaxed bike ride through Key West. Key Lime Bike Tours offers customized tours for groups ranging from 15 to 150 people, tailored to your specific points of interests. With a duration of approximately 2.5 hours, these rides cover a spectrum, from Key West’s prominent attractions like The Hemingway House and Mile Marker Zero, to hidden gems known only to the locals.

Groups experience serenity with group yoga sessions facilitated by Finesse Corporate Wellness. These sessions focus on relaxation, stretching, and inner peace, set against the soothing backdrop of ocean waves. Elevate your meeting atmosphere by establishing a positive tone for the day and fostering well-being and camaraderie.
