Making Dreams Come True On Father’s Day – $100 GC Giveaway

in Lifestyle on

A tie, a pair of socks, a funny mug, another golf shirt.  I’ve given them, I’ve suggested them and watched both my Dad and my Husband accept these gifts with true love.  Father’s Day gifts are tricky.  You want the Dad in your life to know he’s loved, appreciated and thought about.  But let’s face it – these men are HARD to buy for.  This is why I continue to tell all of my friends about Breakaway Experiences.

Breakaway Experiences offer over 1000 experiences and works with over 150 experience companies across Canada.  They have embraced and offer “once-in-a-lifetime” and “bucket list” type of experiences you may have only dreamed of before. The best part, they make them attainable!  Breakaway Experiences offers certificates for a remarkable variety of unique experiences ranging from luxurious spa packages and gourmet food tours, to the more adventurous experiences like stock car racing, helicopter flying lessons and sea doo expeditions.  Here are just a few amazing experiences we think Dad would love this Father’s Day.

Halifax Craft Beer Tour Dad can jump on the Beer Bus and discover the mouth-watering world of craft beer on a three-hour guided Halifax Craft Beer Tour. He can sit back and relax as he is brought to four stops including breweries, brew pubs, and beer bars/pubs. Location: Halifax  I’d be buying two gift cards and joining the fun!  Fighter Jet Flight Experience the thrill and power of a L-29 fighter jet. Can you even imagine?  This is one of the most exciting experiences you will ever have! Location: Ottawa Scenic Flight Over Toronto & CN Tower with Champagne Take off right at the foot of the CN Tower, fly over the downtown core, and drink in a bird’s eye view of the famous Toronto skyline.

Location: Halifax 1000 Islands Helicopter Tour Feel the excitement as you lift off and become mesmerized by the beauty and richness of the St. Lawrence Parks and Boldt Castle as only seen from the air. Location: Kingston, Ontario Exotic Car Driving – Has your Dad ever dreamed of driving a Lamborghini or Ferrari? (I know my Hubby has.)  Make yourself a hero and his dream come true with an experience that lets him get behind the wheel of an exotic sports car and race around the track at Bowmanville’s Canadian Tire Motorsports Park or the Grand Bend Motorplex. Location: Toronto, Grand Bend and multiple locations across the USA Stunt Car Driving – With this experience Dad can learn to drive like they do in the movies! He can learn the tricks of the trade from professional stunt drivers.  So unique! Location: Toronto

    1. I’d certainly love the Halifax 1000 Islands Helicopter Tour, shame I live in Alberta eh? The photo of the St. Lawrence Parks and Boldt Castle looks fantastic not to mention the chef prepared lobster dinner, yummy!

    2. I’ve checked out what’s on offer in my area and there really was nothing that appealed to me. However I’d love the Halifax Half Day Guided Sea Kayaking Tour with Lobster Feast would be something I’d love, well not too sure about the kayaking but the lobster feast for sure 🙂

    10. I’m a bit of a thrill seeker and have a bit of a lead foot so I would love to drive a race car.
