I live in Cape Town and have done so for almost 20 years. When you live somewhere for such a long time you forget what amazing things it has to offer. I am completely unaware of all the adventure gifts Cape Town has to offer, so I did a bit of research.

Celestial Gift Experiences has a wide range of gifts on offer and I had no idea that there were so many gifts Cape Town had to offer. I have divided the experiences up into these categories – photo shoots, water experiences, picnics, spa treatments, food and wine experiences, air experiences, driving/riding experiences and other wonderful experiences.

Photo shoots – Private Boudoir photo shoot, maternity and new born photo shoot, fun photo shoot.

Water Experiences – Power boat ride, surfing lessons, introduction to kite surfing,  in-shore fishing trip, Table Bay Cruise, champagne cruise, PADI advanced diver course, PADI open water diver course, introduction to sailing and shark cage diving.

Picnics – Tapas sunset picnic and a wine estate picnic.

Spa Treatments are great as gifts and when it comes to these kind of gifts Cape Town has so many different options available – Spa skin treatment, a hot stone massage, Camelot Spa breakaway, gents ultimate escape, The Oceanic ritual, a calming ceremony, a harmonising couple retreat, Absolute Spa ceremony, night spa and dinner, half day spa, moonlight spa and dinner, a full day spa and a night spa experience.

Food and Wine Experiences – Dinner at a top restaurant, a safari dinner and drumming, a Cape Malay cooking experience, a Jazz brunch, cooking lessons, an introduction to SA wines as well as theatre and dinner.

If you know someone who loves to fly then these air experiences are the perfect choice – A peninsula flight in a Tiger Moth, a Cape Town helicopter flight, a gyrocopter flight, a piper cub peninsula flight, a tandem skydive, a static line skydiving and a tandem paraglide flight.

Driving/Riding Experiences – Blokart sailing, Audi high performance driving, outdoor karting, Long Beach horse ride, F1 self-drive and quad biking.

Here are some other great gifts Cape Town has to offer – There is the Ghost Bus for 30 people (a very unique way to have a party), a canopy tour for an opportunity to see the world from a different angle, Table Mountain abseiling and for the dance enthusiasts there is ballroom dancing.

I was never aware of these wonderful gifts Cape Town has on offer – I knew they were out there but never considered that they might be right on my doorstep. I also always just thought of them as experiences that I could do one day and I never really thought of them as gifts. An adventure (whether it is a moonlight spa or a F1 self-drive) is such a unique gift to give someone because not only does it give them the opportunity to experience something new but it also gives them a memory that will last a life time.
