Think you’ve done and seen most everything in Naples? Well, think again! See the natural beauty and learn the history of Old Naples on the newest, hippest and most innovative personal transporter. It’s called a “Segway” and it’s the first of its kind in personal transportation. Enjoy your narrated tour outdoors with the Florida sun and gulf breeze while cruising happily on your “Segway”. It’s easy, safe and more fun than you can imagine! It’s safe, easy, fun and no driver’s license necessary. It’s easier than riding a bike because it balances itself. After spending fifteen minutes practicing in a safe open area we are off to have more fun. Stops include the heart of the waterfront, Crayton Cove and the City Dock as well as 12th Avenue South and the Olde Naples shopping districts. Cambier Park is another beautiful stop where we’ll ride along the winding paths, enjoying the lush Floridian vegetation in one of the city’s premier parks.

Watercolor and Printmaking Workshop

Tuesday, May 1
Rookery Bay
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
$95.00/per person

Learn how to create beautiful images on note cards and a variety of colors/types of paper. Finished items are suitable for framing. Each image has a specific energy and intention. Our artist in residence, Michele Rose, believes that spending time with art is like walking through a door to the realm of the painting and experiencing a glimpse of that which you want in life. The more time spent in these desired places, associating with the painted images/intentions, the more you magnetize that same energy into your physical daily life. The world is your oyster! Since our minds are only capable of focusing on one thing at a time, when we learn to focus our minds, we change our lives!

Note: All leisure activities have a minimum participation requirement and are subject to cancellation. If a cancellation occurs, a full refund will be provided for that activity.
