Looking for a gift for a loved one but have no idea what to get? How do you get something for the person who already has everything? Before you splash out on yet another bouquet of flowers or souvenir mug.
Here are five reasons why you should treat your loved one to a hot air balloon ride.
Stunning views
Queensland is home to some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in the world. There is no better way to have an unobstructed view over the amazing rising and falling of the Great Dividing Range than by floating gently above in a hot air balloon. While the mountains and the rainforest of Queensland can be explored on foot, there is nothing quite like having a bird’s eye view of the undulating landscape. This is one gift your loved one will never forget.
No barrier between you and the fresh air
Unlike a helicopter or airplane ride, being borne aloft in a hot air balloon places no windows or doors between you and the surrounding atmosphere. Feel the crisp morning air on your face as you glide over mountains, rivers and rainforest and enjoy unobstructed views of the stunning scenery stretching out beneath.
Great weather
The weather is almost always wonderful in Queensland. Winters are mild and sunny, and in the summer cool breezes blow in from the ocean. Humidity is low and skies are usually clear. Such great weather and clear skies make Queensland the ideal location for a hot air balloon ride. Mornings are especially lovely, when the air is cool and the sun casts gentle shadows over the mountain range.
Give experiences, not stuff
We are huge proponents of not buying people stuff they don’t want or need. Instead of buying your loved one another handbag she will get tired of or a tie he will never wear, get them an experience they will never forget. Ten years from now, your loved one is not going to remember that stuffed toy you bought them, but they will definitely recall the thrill of soaring through the air in a hot air balloon.
Spend quality time together
The best thing about getting your loved one an experience such as a hot air balloon ride is the fact that you can share the experience with them! The best way to show your love for someone is to spend quality time with them, and a hot air balloon ride will allow you and your loved one to enjoy together breathtaking views and the unique sensation of floating in the air.
While conventional gifts such as flowers or chocolates are alright, your loved one will most definitely find a hot air balloon ride more special and more memorable than a run of the mill gift.
