| We start off this memorable day on the Long Beach waterfront with an included lunch with choice of entrée at Gladstone’s Long Beach. This highly rated waterfront restaurant on the Pine Ave. Pier features a relaxed ambiance and award-winning food. This afternoon, we’ll experience old world charm and a thousand-year-old tradition as we cruise through the enchanting canals of Naples Islands on an original Italian gondola. This town, within the bounds of Long Beach, was built to fashion an Italian village at the turn of the 20th century. Canals, gondolas, and at one time a hotel on its waterways, all created the look and feel of Italy. While the hotel is gone, the canals and the gondolas remain and provide the perfect experience for a memorable summer day. As we meander through the canals, your charming gondolier will point out the spectacular sights including multi-million-dollar waterfront homes and boats, five bridges and calm bays. We top off the day with an included ice cream treat at a local, family-owned creamery that offers unique flavors that are rich and creamy. |
