Father's Day Gift Ideas for Adventurous Dads
Unique and Exciting Gifts that will Thrill Husbands
May 2, 2009
Like mothers, many fathers deserve a treat too. After all, they work hard to provide for the family and kids. If your husband used to be adventurous and fun-loving but has dutifully morphed into a responsible family man, why not treat him to something that will excite the thrill seeker and adventurer in him this coming Father’s Day?
Here are some father’s day gift ideas for adventurous dads.
Car and Motor Racing
If racing is in your husband’s blood, get a fabulous driving experience for him. Buy vouchers for him to try rally driving, motorcycle racing or a V8 driving race. If he prefers to let someone else do the driving, let him experience being a hot lap passenger on a race circuit. He can hold on tight while a professional car racer zooms the vehicle around in a high performance sports car!
Flying Experiences
These gifts are great for men with a penchant for flying or floating in the air. If your husband has always wanted to know what it’s like to fly a plane, buy a voucher to let him enjoy a flight simulation experience like a pilot or try out an introductory flight in an actual light aircraft or helicopter. Other gifts to enjoy flying experiences include skydiving, parasailing, aerobatic joy flights and hot air ballooning.
Wild Water Activities
Water activities can be wildly exciting too. Check out opportunities to swim and dive with large sharks; jet boat riding with high speed slides and turns, 360 degree turns, fishtails and power-brake stops or try an exhilarating white water rafting experience.
Rock Climbing and Abseiling
Another great adventure gift idea is rock climbing where a participant learns about cliff line safety, basic movement on rock, knot tying and rope handling. If your husband has always wanted to abseil down waterfalls, swim through stone chasms and jump into crystal clear pools, sign him up for a canyoning and abseiling adventure package.
Caving Adventures
If the thought of exploring dark, narrow places appeals to your man, send him on a caving adventure. Caving is essentially a diverse sport that utilizes skills and equipment from rock climbing, abseiling and even scuba diving at times.
Mountain Biking
Thrill your man with a guided mountain bike tour. Many mountain bike tour providers also take most of the effort out of the big rides by offering bikers a helicopter ride or a drive up to the mountain top in four-wheel drive vehicles. Rides may vary from 20km to 80km of fun over several hours.
Guided adventures such as car and motor racing, flying experiences, wild water activities, rock climbing and abseiling, caving adventures as well as mountain biking are fun and absolutely exciting. They also often begin with safety and equipment briefings. So don’t worry too much about safety issues. Just let the husband/dad have his fill of fun on Father’s Day.
