Spring has sprung, and although most of us will be spending Easter indoors this year, it’s still a great opportunity to gift our loved ones with meaningful experiences they can enjoy at a later date. Chocolate is the traditional choice for Easter gifts – and far be it for us to deprive anyone of it – but chocolate melts. Memories last a lifetime, so why not make them count?

Look no further for the ultimate selection of unique and unforgettable experience gifts for Easter, categorised by activity type, so you can find the perfect way to celebrate the beginning of Spring no matter who you’re celebrating with.

Flying Gifts for Easter:

Ocala Introductory Flight Lesson – $99

Touch the sky! Can you think of a better gift than teaching someone how to literally fly? (Don’t worry, you won’t actually be teaching them; we have a guy for that.)

Your lucky giftee will begin their experience at Ocala International Airport, where they will meet their certified pilot for a safety briefing before being shown to their aircraft, a Cessna 172. They’ll climb into their unique mode of transportation with the qualified pilot by their side at all times.
Upon boarding the plane, they’ll get the opportunity to take the controls as they soar over central Florida, taking in the gorgeous scenery from above. Sure beats a chocolate egg, right?

Easter Gifts for Foodies:

Los Angeles Chocolate Tasting Tour – $69

Chocolate and Easter go hand in hand, and we can’t write a list of Easter gifts without including this Los Angeles chocolate tasting tour. If you have a giftee with a sweet tooth, this is the perfect Easter treat for them. They’ll be treated to 3 hours of sweet delights from Los Angeles’ top chocolatiers, led by an expert guide. They’ll meet 5 local chocolatiers who have made sweetness their business, and learn all about the history of chocolate along the way.

Boston Pizza Tasting Tour – $46

What’s even better than chocolate? …Pizza, of course. (Okay, we know this is not a definite fact and we will need to taste test all the chocolate and all the pizza just to be sure.) This pizza tour of Boston is the perfect gift for those foodies with the bottomless stomachs. They’ll meet their friendly guide on Cross Street, before taking a stroll through Boston’s oldest neighborhood to sample some of the city’s best pizza. This tour is a great mix of eating and sightseeing, as they’ll also learn about the history of the city and explore 5 historic Freedom Trail sites, including the oldest standing church in Boston and the Paul Revere House.

Easter Gifts for Petrol Heads:

Texas Motor Speedway NASCAR Ride – $108

Give the gift of a racing heartbeat this Easter! If you know a petrol head, this Texas Motor Speedway NASCAR Ride is guaranteed to raise their pulse and plaster a smile across their face.

Their racer dreams come true, they’ll arrive at the famous NASCAR track and head out to the pit lane, where they’ll check in with Team Texas and get suited up. Looking like a true racer, they’ll then be briefed on safety before hopping into the race car next to their professional driver. As the anticipation builds, the driver will rev their engine in preparation for the green flag. As soon as they see it waving, they’ll speed your giftee around the track for four heart-pounding laps. They won’t be forgetting that gift in a hurry!

Water Experience Gifts for Easter

Clearwater Beach Pirate Cruise – $42

Ahoy! For those who love a day out with a difference, this Clearwater Beach Pirate Cruise is just the ticket. Boarding the authentically designed pirate ship, your giftee will be greeted by some uncharacteristically friendly pirates – Blackbeards need not apply!

Next, they’ll set sail along the Memorial Causeway and under the Sand Key Bridge. This immersive experience will sweep them into a fantastical seafaring world of adventure and intrigue, featuring games, stories, and dancing. They won’t even have to ask the question ever-present on every good pirate’s lips – “Why is the rum always gone?!” – because a complimentary cool beverage will be served onboard.

Charlotte Paddleboarding Lesson – $50

…And now for a different way to experience the water! If fantastical pirate ships aren’t necessarily your giftee’s cup of rum, this paddleboarding lesson in Charlotte is a different way to escape the lily-livered land lovers, learning a fun new skill in the process.

Paddleboarding is widely considered to be one of the most accessible water sports going, designed for people of all ages, sizes and abilities. If your giftee is understandably curious about this trendy new sport, there’s no better place to start than this friendly and supportive 2 hour introduction. Their certified WPA and Paddlefit instructor will teach them how to paddleboard in a safe and controlled environment, so they’ll soon be up on the board and navigating the waters like a true pro!

Rockport Harbor Schooner Sailing – $55

This Schooner Heron afternoon sail with a narrated tour of Robinson Rock makes for a truly unique Easter gift. During their tour, your giftee will learn about the seafaring history of Rockport Harbor, and pass the Indian Island Lighthouse, where they will learn the significance of the lighthouses in this historic port. Depending on wind and tide, their route might even take them past some ridiculously cute harbor seals or majestic bald eagles!

Tours and Activities for Easter:

Private Salsa Lesson in Baltimore – $95

This Private Salsa Lesson in Baltimore is the gift that keeps on giving, stomping (rhythmically) on any anxiety caused by having to dance in public. Salsa is a great gateway to other forms of dance, teaching its students the basics of rhythm to bring with them onto any dance floor (even throwing shapes to ‘Hey Ya’ at Cousin Eric’s summer wedding.)

With the spring traditionally signifying a new beginning, it’s a great time to think about learning something new – maybe something that takes you out of your comfort zone? The mental and physical benefits of dance are undeniable, so whether you’re looking to dust off your dancing shoes or gift someone else with this new skill this Easter, the Private Salsa Lesson in Baltimore is a great place to start. You and your guest will learn the fundamentals of New York style salsa from a qualified instructor, including salsa rhythm, timing, steps and basic combinations with turn patterns. By the end of your class, the two of you will feel ready to strut your stuff. Wedding-of-a-distant-cousin-induced-dancefloor-anxiety, begone!

Portland Underground Tour – $23

This Portland Underground Tour is a great experience gift for those who are interested in the path less trodden; the seedier, grittier parts of the city that aren’t talked about as much as the tourist spots. During this 2-hour tour, your giftee will discover the crime, corruptions and scandals of Portland’s shady past. Their expert guide will show the group through the city’s sombre monuments and landmarks, teaching them about the illicit, naughty, bawdy, corrupt and shady activities that haunt them. The tour ends with a creepy, torch-lit tour of the basement in the historic Merchant Hotel, home to the legendary Portland Shanghai Tunnels. There, they’ll discover the scandal that permeates underground Portland.

Connecticut Dinner Train – $180

All aboard! For an Easter gift for those hard-to-buy-for people, look no further than this Connecticut Dinner Train experience. Your lucky passenger will climb aboard the elegant Essex Clipper for a relaxing journey through the Connecticut River Valley. They’ll trundle along the tracks and back in time to when trains were king, and “dinner in the diner” was a decadent special occasion. Passengers are treated to a four course meal during this breathtaking sightseeing excursion, taking in scenic towns, serene forests and picturesque meadows. On the trek back, they’ll pass the tidal wetlands of Pratt Cove and Chester Creek, spotting geese, blue herons, and even bald eagles!
