Written by Fiona

What do you buy the adrenaline junkie in your life as a gift? An experience trip or must have kit and equipment can be great ideas. Here is a list of some gift ideas for adrenaline junkies.

1. Tankballing

Tankballing is usually on the bucket list of most adrenaline junkies. So why don’t you surprise them with a tankballing adventure? Imagine the thrill that comes with riding a real tanker, getting to aim the gun and shooting. Yes, adventurous people would love the experience. Unlike paintballing, tankballing is more exciting and can give anyone a lifetime memory.

2. Zipline Tours

Zip line tours are exciting and involve moving along a rope usually made of steel across a certain distance while being propelled by gravity. Zip lines set up across a forest or rivers are the most exciting for an adrenaline rush. The zip lines can be either high or low depending on your preference. Of course, such a gift to an adventurous person will be received with a lot of gratitude.

3. Scuba Diving

Scuba diving is an excellent adventure for people who would love to explore the world underwater. Scuba diving gives one the opportunity to breathe using an apparatus while at the same time enjoying the close range vision of things in the water. You may even be lucky enough to race with the fish or listen to the dolphins’ song. A great gift for a scuba diving trip would be a pair of polarized sunglasses from https://rheosgear.com/ because they will protect you from the sun’s rays, especially when reflected from the water. 

4. Skydiving and Parachute Jumping

An experience to go skydiving and jumping from a parachute would be an awesome gift for an adrenaline junkie friend. Skydiving involves floating on air from a plane at your desired distance above the surface of the earth. You could even go as high as 10,000 feet above. The experience will raise the hairs on your head. An alternative could be a paragliding trip.

5. Segway Racing

For an adrenaline rush, gift someone a Segway racing experience. The race can be carried out on track or off track. The most adventurous Segway race would be in a forest as you enjoy the green scenery of trees and as you watch birds fly above you from tree to tree.

6. Bungee Jumping

Bungee jumping is another thrilling activity for adventure lovers. The excitement of bungee jumping is never forgotten. Jumps can be made from an elastic cord that is bound to a permanent object, say a building or from a plane or a hot air balloon.

7. Fly a plane

Yes, it is possible to fly a plane without having to go to an aviation school. The experience of being a pilot for an hour can give you the thrill to remember. Getting such a gift would be mind-blowing. Flying the plane and watching the earth from the deck is worth a try.

8. Whitewater rafting

It’s great fun to ride in a raft on a fast-moving river and there are plenty of places around the world where you can enjoy such an outing. Choose a place and then book a voucher for your adrenaline junkie friend or partner. Why not go with them, too?

Adrenaline junkies will be very happy to receive a gift for special occasion or a weekend surprise that gets their hearts pumping. Bungee jumping, skydiving, scuba diving, Segway racing, car racing and zip line tours are some of the best gifts you could give them.
