11 Top-Selling Experiences That Beat a Hot Tub Hands Down

Few things spice up a romance quite like close quarters, lack of clothing, and warm water, which is why a hot tub is often included in most date night ideas. Add some romantic lighting, refreshments, and music and you’re all set. But let’s be honest, even the most hopeless romantics become a bit bored with old-lady fingers (from being in the water for so long) and yearn for something a little more exciting.

The Bucket List Genie has searched all corners of South Africa for the most romantic water-based date ideas to spice up your love-life and to help you connect one-on-one with the love of your life. After all, nothing bonds two people quite like a shared experience.
