10 Team Building Activities in Savannah That Aren't Boring

Gather in unexpected locations.

They say teamwork makes the dream work, but goals can fall flat when motivation is missing. Once the meeting or convention wraps up, attendees often scatter in different directions. That's why you need a destination that inspires connection even after the breakout sessions end.

Savannah, GA, isn’t just easy on the eyes—it's a city that delivers unforgettable team-building experiences you won't find anywhere else. Here, every tour, restaurant and landmark transforms into a hands-on opportunity for your group to bond, collaborate and have a little fun along the way.

 

01

Let’s Get Hands On

How often can you say that you created something with your own two hands? Savannah's creative side shines through at Sea Love Candle Bar & Boutique and Salacia Salts, where sensory experiences spark connection. 

Discuss the kids' and holiday plans over a glass of wine at Sea Love as you choose from over 100 aromas to create signature candles and diffusers. Why not bond over a great skincare routine? Salacia Salts invites groups to blend all-natural ingredients into clay masks and body scrubs in a calming, coastal-inspired workshop.

02

Make Em’ Laugh

Laughter is the best medicine for connection, and Savannah has the perfect dosage. Hey, we're always down for a good or even bad Dad joke. If your team’s humor leans toward clever—or even corny—come share some laughs at Front Porch Improv and Savannah for Morons.

Front Porch Improv is a weekly comedy show where a cast of quick-witted locals brings the house down with unscripted, audience-fueled comedy. And the best part? Improv training, classes and workshops are available for groups!

History takes a hilarious turn when accompanied by two very colorful hosts aboard a trolley. Savannah for Morons takes attendees on a 90-minute joyride throughout the Historic Landmark District, regaling them with outrageous anecdotes, skits, music, trivia, and moronic fun about the city's history.

03

Let Conversations Brew

Afternoon tea might be an underrated art form, but Savannah's Ashford Tea Company gives it a modern revival. Founder and tea connoisseur Wayne Wray brings more than 30 years of experience to every pour, transforming each tasting into an immersive experience.

Groups can mingle and sip from an impressive selection of global and signature blends while learning about the wellness benefits behind each cup. It's a thoughtful, slow-paced team-building activity that fosters conversation, mindfulness, and connection—one steep at a time.

04

Give Back & Make a Difference

Team building takes on new meaning when it makes a genuine impact. Savannah’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs invite groups to give back to our wonderful community while strengthening bonds within their own. From packing meals with Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia to helping local youth at the West Broad Street YMCA or joining the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia to support troops overseas, there’s no shortage of ways to lend a hand.

05

Chart a Holistic Journey

Let’s face it—while the meeting world can be rewarding, it's also demanding. When obligations start to weigh you down, Savannah offers the perfect reset just 20 minutes away on Tybee Island. Tybee Wellness Retreats invites groups to unwind with a three-day oceanfront escape designed to restore balance and focus. Through nutrition workshops, yoga sessions, guided meditation, and stress-management activities, attendees can reconnect with nature, themselves and one another in a truly holistic way.

Swap Recipes

The team that cooks together, eats together—and there’s no better way to blend collaboration with a dash of competition than in one of Savannah’s hands-on cooking classes. Swap stories, techniques, and laughter with Chef Darin, where every guest is treated like an old friend. Or, master culinary goals with Savannah Culinary Retreat, crafting dishes with locally sourced ingredients. For a taste of Italy in the Victorian District, The Cooking School at Saint Bibiana offers immersive classes inspired by the spirit of Sardinia, where pasta, soul and wine are always on the menu.

07

Take the Recreational Approach

You’ve seen Savannah—but have you experienced it? Keep the team’s energy flowing with a little outdoor adventure on two (or three) wheels. Savannah On Wheels and Savannah Bike Tours offer guided rides through the city’s scenic squares and storied districts, blending fitness with fresh air and local charm.

Prefer to keep it cute while cruising? Let’s segway into another option. See what we did there? Adventure Tours in Motion equips your group with Segways and e-bikes for a lighthearted, interactive way to explore the city's historic streets together.

08

Beat the Clock

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will push your team’s collaboration skills to the limit. At Encryption: Escape & Adventure Game, groups have just 60 minutes to solve puzzles, crack codes, and uncover hidden clues in this high-energy, live-action experience. You'll laugh, scream, blame and maybe even cry. It’s the ultimate team-building challenge—one that requires focus, communication and a sense of humor before the time runs out and everyone is friends again.

09

Discover What All the Buzz is About

Bring your team together for a sweet bonding experience. Savannah Bee Company hosts groups on an enclosed, guided Bee Garden Tour, where participants learn firsthand how these vital pollinators shape our ecosystem - award-winning honey samples included. Over at Capital Bee Company, the buzz goes on with curated tastings and interactive sessions that highlight local flavors and sustainable practices for our black-and-gold-striped friends.

Savor the City on the Go

We've mentioned the food scene, but trust us, it's worth a second helping. Savannah Taste Experience Food Tours & Marketplace and Flavors Food Tours take dining to the cobblestone streets, offering attendees a sweeping food experience by sampling a variety of dishes, desserts and cocktails at numerous eateries. Choose from one of their curated routes and prepare to walk, eat, talk, drink, laugh, and then do it all over again at the next stop.

You see? Team-building doesn't end at the last slide deck in Savannah. This city knows how to turn colleagues into collaborators through an impressive avenue of group activities. Whether your group is seeking inspiration, relaxation, or a little healthy competition, Savannah’s one-of-a-kind experiences ensure you'll leave with strong bonds and maybe even a few inside jokes.
