Wet ‘n’ Wild Gift Experiences
Water Sports Gift Ideas
Enjoy an incredible range of water-based gift experiences out at sea, on a lake or on a river. New and adventurous water sports continue to emerge and they push the boundaries and thrill participants.
Wet ’n’ Wild gift experiences are great presents for anybody who enjoys excitement, adventure and a good day out! Water sports gifts also test balance and co-ordination and many require a certain skill that is fun to master. GoneDigging offers a range of water experience days, from classics including sailing and waterskiing, to more recently developed activities, such as power kiting and coasteering.
Water sports gift experiences are packed with excitement and paramount care is given to safety, so that you can concentrate on having fun! Below you will find further information about our most popular days out on the water.
Scuba Diving Gift Experiences
Scuba Diving is a great activity day, as exploring the sea is an exhilarating experience that offers many beautiful sights. Our Scuba Diving for Two and Kids Scuba Experience presents will teach recipients the basics of the sport in a two hour scuba diving lesson at a swimming pool. Qualified PADI instructors will offer tips on technique and they will also teach useful breathing skills. These scuba diving gift experiences will prevent you having to waste valuable time out at sea when you are on holiday.
Powerboating Gift Experiences
Powerboats enable you to race across the water at speeds of up to sixty miles per hour. Experienced offshore powerboat drivers – many of whom are former national or world champions – will introduce you to the Honda F4 race boat and teach you how to drive it safely and correctly. You will have an exhilarating ninety minutes on the water and you may take full control of the powerboat as part of this stunning gift experience.
GoneDigging also offers thrilling gift experiences on a Zapcat or RIB and we have a fun Hovercraft racing present that replaces speed with novelty.
Jet Ski Gift Experiences
Jet Skiing emerged as an adventure sport in the early 1970s with the introduction of the powerful personal watercraft. A Jet Ski Experience for Two is a fun present to share with a friend, which will test your steering, balance and lust for speed. You will learn how to ride a jet ski with a friendly instructor, before setting off down the mile long course on your own. This is an exciting ride, but you could be thrown off at any time!
Waterskiing Gifts
Waterskiing is an exhilarating water sport, which is fast and fun, but difficult to master. Our Introduction to Waterskiing gifts provide expert instruction on safety and technique, with tuition on land and in the water. The biggest challenge of the Waterskiing experience is to learn how to stand up, which is a lot more difficult than it sounds! Once you become more confident, you will be given tips on how to take corners quickly, which will make the waterskiing day out even more of an adventure.
Sailing Gift Experiences
Learn to sail aboard a proven Ocean Race Yacht with our Introduction to Sailing gift experience. Your sailing present will include an introduction to the principles of the sport and a trip out onto the water, where you can gain hands-on sailing experience. You can participate as much or as little as you like when onboard and a professional skipper and mate will be on hand to encourage you. Lunch is provided with these sailing gifts and all abilities are catered for.
Kayaking Day out
Kayaking is one of the fastest growing water sports around, reflecting the fun and excitement of the kayaking experience. A Half Day Kayaking includes expert instruction and safety guidance, with all equipment provided. Lessons take place at Britain's Centre of Excellence in Pembrokeshire and your kayaking presents can be based on either flat water, white water or out at sea. These kayaking gift adventures cater for all abilities.
Powerkiting Gifts
Powerkiting is an adrenaline sport that has become the latest craze at the beach. Our Introduction to Powerkiting features expert tuition at a choice of location and you can choose the Powerkiting lesson that most appeals to you. Kitesurfing packages involve bodysurfing and take place in the water. Landboarding is similar to being powerfully pulled along the road on a skateboard. Kite Buggying takes place in three wheeled buggies on the beach. These Powerkiting gift experiences are fun and exhilarating, leading to a great and memorable day out.
O’Neil Surfing Lesson
Learn how to ride a wave with an O’Neil Surfing Lesson. Newquay is the capital of surfing in the UK and the O’Neil academy has established itself at the forefront of surfing instruction. Experienced riders, many of whom have competed in the sport, will teach you the basics on dry land before the surfing lesson moves into the sea. Practise makes perfect and this full day of surfing will give you time to develop your new skills as you battle with the waves.
Coasteering Gift Experiences
Coasteering became popular in the 1990s. It is an adventure sport based around exploring coastlines, combining rock climbing, scrambling, traversing and swimming. You can investigate caves and take in the fantastic sights, before experiencing the adrenaline rush of cliff jumping into the sea. Our Coasteering Experience gifts take place in Pembrokeshire at Britain’s Centre of Excellence for the sport. An expert will teach coasteering to your ability, with gift experiences available at beginner and extreme level. The half day of coasteering is a fun present for large parties of friends or employees.
