16th Birthday Gifts & Ideas

They’ve hit sweet sixteen and it’s a real coming of age! Mark this momentous milestone with a special 16th birthday gift. To celebrate their final years of being a teenager, choose exciting, one of a kind experiences including adventure days and driving sessions.

For Adventurous Teens

Hair-raising adventure days always go down a treat. With these blood-pumping activities, lasting memories will be made. Skydiving is the ultimate thrill for an adrenaline junkie, seeing explorers jump out of a plane at over 7,000 feet high! Bungee jumping offers a different take on the same feeling, with guests falling towards the ground and snapping back up just in time. Water sports are perfect for a hot summer’s day, with aquatic activities for every taste. Calming kayak rides around the UK’s coastal regions offer stunning views, sailing teaches new boating skills and white water rafting tests out teamwork on a challenging course. There’s something for every type of aspiring sailor.

Junior Driving Sessions

It doesn’t matter if they’re under the legal driving age as there are hand-picked experiences that put youngsters in the driver’s seat. An early lesson gives would-be motorists some time behind the wheel. They’ll already know their way around a car when their provisional arrives! Or treat a lover of luxurious models to a 30-minute lesson in a Bentley! They learn the basics, starting with clutch control, accelerating and braking. Then they tackle a replica road, complete with junctions and roundabouts from the comfort of a prestige model.

Exciting Adventure Experiences

Supercar blasts test 16 year olds’ racing skills, giving them control of a Lamborghini, Ferrari or Aston Martin. They put the pedal to the metal as they attempt to stick to that all-important racing line around tight corners and bends.
