Holiday Skydiving: A Gift that Soars Above the Rest
Have you got a friend, relative or loved one who craves adventure? What about the person who says things like, “I’ve always wanted to skydive?” We’ve all got that adrenaline junkie in our life…
Well, the upcoming holiday season is the perfect time to make their dreams come true, with a wonderful skydiving package that’ll leave them with incredible lifelong memories.
A Gift to Remember
As the days get longer and we head into summer, that age-old problem raises its head: What on earth do I get my husband/wife/partner/son/daughter/parent/boss/Jo in accounts… (you get the picture) for Christmas?
Let’s face it, present buying is hard! None of us want to waste our hard-earned dollars, but we also want to give something thoughtful and – very importantly – isn’t forgotten the instant the wrapping paper goes in the bin.
Well, when you give the gift of skydiving, this is one present that’s going to be truly remembered for an awfully long time.
Reasons to Gift a Skydiving Package
When you give someone a skydiving package for Christmas (or for any other life event), this is no normal gift. That’s because a skydive offers so many positive benefits.
Did you know that:
- Skydiving releases all sorts of feel-good hormones: The combination of exhilaration and, naturally, a degree of trepidation kicks off a whole host of endorphins. Adrenaline, serotonin, dopamine and more flood the body. The effect of this is nothing short of amazing, leaving people with incredible euphoria and the feeling that they can accomplish anything!
- Doing something that makes you a bit scared can dramatically improve confidence: Let’s face it, sitting in the open doorway of an aircraft at 15,000 feet pushes most people at least slightly out of their comfort zone. A tandem skydive, where you’re strapped to a highly experienced instructor, is an incredibly safe way to experience a truly extreme sport – and you’d better believe that overcoming that pre-jump nervousness gives a confidence boost that nothing else can match.
- It can trigger intense and happy emotions: By far the most common phrase uttered by first-time skydivers is, “I want to do it again”. The experience of freefall is like nothing else – and it’s difficult to explain. Although you’re falling, there’s none of that stomach-dropping sensation you feel when on a roller coaster. It’s the closest thing a human can get to flying – and wow, can it be addictive.
With skydiving being high up on so many peoples’ bucket lists, what better time to give the gift of flight to a loved one than this Christmas. Plus, we’ve got some great deals on jumps for more than one person. After all, if you’re gifting that special someone with a truly unique and memorable experience, it’d almost be rude if you don’t include yourself in the mix – if, of course, you’re so inclined.
No matter if it’s a solo or group experience, Skydive Geronimo’s Rottnest Island jump site is, without a doubt, one of the best places on the planet. White sands, sparkling ocean, and the glinting Perth CBD as a backdrop… What more can you ask for? Oh… And we’re the only operator licensed to operate in this idyllic location – plus you’ll land on one of three gorgeous Rottnest beaches.
The only thing left to do after that is to grab a quokka selfie…
Check out Skydive Geronimo’s skydiving offers and give a truly unforgettable gift. Add a ferry to cover transport to our jump site on the gorgeous Rottnest Island. You can even jump out of a helicopter if you prefer.
