Spoil Dad this Father’s Day

August 30, 2017

With Father’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to spoil Dad this Sunday 3 September! We’ve created a short list featuring the best of this weekend’s local activities and some truly unique experiences to really show Dad how much he means to you.

The Helicopter Schooner Dash

Spoil Dad with a return helicopter flight for two people that soars over the Brisbane river, while stopping in at a nearby country pub for a beer or two. Bonus? The flight can be redeemed at any time – keeping Sunday special just for you and him.

Where: Kholo, Brisbane

When: Anytime

Jetpack Adventures

If love could be measured by distance, you best be having Dad launched metres high above the water in the world’s first water powered device, also known as the JETPACK. Forget the socks and undies – instead give Dad the ultimate “out of the box” experience. 30-minute session includes equipment hire and in-water training for $99.

Where: Southport Yacht Club, Gold Coast

When: Anytime

Book a table for this Sunday 3 September for the family and the Buffalo Bar will shout Dad a complimentary Kirin and glass to take home. Get in quick!
