Best Gifts

What are the best gifts 2020?

These days people tend to have a lot of stuff. So, when the time for gift giving comes around, you probably want to avoid giving them even more of it, particularly when you’re not sure if they’ll use it or whether they have it already. The great thing about experiences is they come in many forms and are a great way for people to get out and have some fun. There are adventures for all kinds of people and amazing things to do Australia wide. Don’t just take our word for it, browse our site and you’ll see thousands of high quality gift options to choose from. The sheer number of experiences is good news for you as a gift giver too, because there’s something for almost all budgets. 

Whether it’s driving, flying, land adventures, watersports or gourmet experiences, the best gifts depend on who you’re buying for and how much you want to spend, but if it’s a real show stopper of a present you want then how about one of the following popular options?

Helicopter rides

Amazing views and the thrill of speeding across some of Australia’s most impressive landscapes are guaranteed with our helicopter rides. For a real bucket list adventure, these flights are hard to beat. Take your pick of location, from sensational Sydney Harbour to iconic Uluru and Kata Tjuta. 

Hot Air Ballooning

For a flight like no other it has to be a hot air balloon ride. Floating with the wind over stunning scenery is an experience we think everyone should try at least once. It’s an incredible way to start a day and can be made even more special when rounded off with a gourmet breakfast and souvenir photos to take home. 

V8 driving and hot laps 

Speeding around a race track in a real race car. It’s the stuff dreams are made of! Bringing them to life is easy with our huge range of V8 driving and hot laps options Australia wide. With expert instruction, it’s a gift any thrill seeker will love. 

Skydiving

For adrenaline junkies it doesn’t get much better than a skydive. There’s nothing quite like the rush of freefall! Add in an some awesome views (how about a tandem skydive over the beach or seemingly endless vineyards?) and you’ve got all the ingredients for the experience of a lifetime. Buying for a first time skydiver? Don’t worry, they’re in safe hands with highly professional experts to guide them every step of the way. 

What to buy for those who have everything?

Finding the right present can sometimes prove a challenge, particularly for people who seem to have it all. So instead of trying to find them a ‘thing’ they’ll like, give them an adventure. We think the best gifts are experiences, as no matter how many ‘things’ people have, they can’t possibly have done everything. Some people will love the chance to take a break from the day to day and do something different. Giving them an experience gift is the perfect excuse for them to just that, at a time that suits them. 

Learning to fly 

When it comes to unusual gifts, giving someone the chance to learn to fly has to be a contender. With professional instruction they can take the controls of an aircraft and bring their pilot fantasies to life. Take a look at what’s on offer for a variety of plane and helicopter options, as well as flights with aerobatics included. 

Ghost tours 

Maybe their favourite holiday is Halloween, or maybe they just love a good scare. Either way, our range of ghost tours are an unusual gift that are best enjoyed together. Prepare for spooky tales and sights in some of Australia’s most haunted locations. 

Abseiling 

Have they got a head for heights? An abseiling experience is the perfect way to put it to the test, with awesome views and excitement (plus expert instruction!) guaranteed. It’s a great gift for someone who’d appreciate getting out to do something, rather than receiving more stuff. 

What are the best gifts for birthdays?

Birthdays are a time of celebration and you’ll want to get them a great gift to mark the occasion. The right gift for them depends on their personality and interests, but for a birthday gift they’re unlikely to forget in a hurry how about giving one of the following? 

Swimming with sharks 

Give them the chance to come face to face with some of the world’s most feared (and often misunderstood) creatures of the deep – sharks. It’s certainly a unique gift idea, but it’s one that animal lovers and those with a love of adventure will relish. We have adventures in the wild, as well as scuba dive experiences in aquariums.
 

Sydney Bridge Climb 

Climbing the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the ultimate Australian bucket list experiences. Enjoy Sydney’s best views from the top of this world-famous icon and feel a real sense of achievement afterwards. It’s an awesome gift to give. Always wanted to do it too? Do it together.  

Scuba diving 

You’ll see a whole different side of the world on a scuba diving experience. From introductory dives (perfect for beginners), to diving courses and certified dives, we have scuba diving experiences for all experience levels. It’s a birthday gift the adventure lover in your life will be thrilled to receive.
