Helicopter Tour
I have ALWAYS wanted to do one of these, everything always looks better from above too, I guess it's because you can see lots more of your surroundings! This would be the perfect romantic gift for you and your partner, a stunning scenic tour across London, as well as over the Christmas period, is bound to be a spectacular and special gift for the both of you, lots of spectacular christmas lights, the London Eye all lit up, fireworks and quality time together too! Why not treat your partner to a delicious candlelit meal afterwards to really make the most of your day together! If being up high in a helicopter isn't your thing, maybe try something a little less scary and have a go at Indoor Skydiving! Suitable for children from the age of 4 plus, a lot of fun for the whole family and a lot of funny photos can be had!

What you can expect;

"Helicopter Flights Over London in a swanky executive chopper! This has got to be one of the very best ways to see the sights of London from the air. Leaving in a helicopter from your choice of three helipads, your flight will take your right over the heart of London and beyond. The helicopters used for these flights are renowned for being amongst the world's most comfortable and reliable aircraft and, as you might expect, the view of London from the cabin windows are excellent. In total, each flight in these helicopters will last around 30 minutes, giving you ample of time to take photos of London as you look down on everything!' If you're feeling brave, why not take control of the helicopter yourself and fly across the city guided by a fully qualified, experienced and professional pilot!

Spa Day/Lunch Who doesn't love a bit of pampering! Massages, facials, pedicures, use of the steam rooms and sauna, all topped off with a delicious lunch and pure relaxation, bliss! If you'd rather something a little more energetic, you could also get involved in the Boxercise, pilates or Aerobics exercise classes before heading off for a bit of lunch! Whatever ticks the right boxes for you, you'll be sure to find exactly what works, Into The Blue have tons of amazing deals here for you to have a browse through! Personally i'd have to recommend a Hot Stone Massage, so relaxing and soothing! Sort of thing you can expect;

- Choice of up to 110 minutes worth of treatments - Full lunch complete with cakes and tea -  A completely relaxing and stress free afternoon

It's not just for the women either, there are amazing treatments for men too, with stronger massages and even wet shaves too! With a well-earned lunch, too, he can enjoy a leisurely meal in the relaxing surroundings of the day spa. And if, after all that, he’s still feeling the need for some Zen time, there are even Men’s Spa Day passes which offer six hours’ unlimited access to the spa area, with a steam bath and even a hot tub in the zen garden zone outside.
All the men’s treatments during the spa day are carried out by fully qualified therapists in modern, well-equipped treatment rooms. This is the perfect way to treat your significant other to some quality down-time, where he can escape the worries and stresses of everyday life and come back to you revitalised and refreshed"

For the Kids
Quad Biking! This is something I would have LOVED to do when I was younger, I was such a tomboy and loved everything to do with mud, cars and noise! I've actually ridden motorbikes off road quite a few times and although I'm not quite as brave anymore, I'd love Abbie to have a go too! Here's the sort of thing you can except on your day out;
Kids aged between six and 12 year olds will love this experience! This quad session is perfect for all those little ones who fancy some excitement in the form of an off-roading adventure. Each child will be matched with the most suitable bike for their age and ability. It’s also good to know that speed and acceleration can be adjusted as needed for safety and, of course, helmets are provided. Each experience will start with some simple safety rules and a run through of the vehicle controls and riding techniques - it’s pretty easy as they are fully automatic bikes. Once they have practised some basic skills and the instructor is happy that they are ready to roll, then it’s time to head out on to the quad biking trek.
Other days out include, Cowboy Experiences, Paintballing, Horse Riding & many more!
