16TH BIRTHDAY GIFT IDEAS
Quad biking
Celebrating a sweet 16th is made all the more exciting when you get to experience what it’s like to drive an all-terrain vehicle for the first time during a quad bike adventure. With the minimum age for driving 16, a quad bike adventure is the perfect way to bring in this big birthday milestone. From the sand dunes of Port Stephens or Lancelin to the purpose-built tracks of Glenworth Valley, we guarantee the 16-year-old in your life will love this.
18TH BIRTHDAY GIFT IDEAS
Skydiving
There is no better way to welcome in the extraordinary journey that is adulthood than with an extraordinary adventure like skydiving. While the trope is many don’t remember their 18th after all the celebrations, this is one way to make sure it’s a birthday they will never forget. With skydiving locations all over Australia, you are spoilt for choice when selecting your gift. Be warned though- you'll absolutely want to go with them!

Swimming with dolphins
Swimming with dolphins is something everyone should experience at least once, so why not give this incredible experience to someone for their 21st?
