Now it's time to tally up!
If most answers are A
You'll win by gifting him a water sports experience. There's a wide range of activities to choose from - scuba diving initiation along Spanish coasts, kayak expeditions or paddle surfing. Even a high-adrenaline jet ski route could be the star experience.
If most answers are B
Your dad's probably a proper traditionalist - new trends aren't his thing as he's a rustic bloke. What would suit him best is a horse riding trail through nature or a via ferrata adventure. While wine tourism might seem a bit predictable, this gift would surely delight him - good wine is always welcome.If most answers are C
Your dad likely treats Formula 1 as religion, so one option we suggest is letting the boss have fun on a race track or road driving a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche. If this doesn't quite fit but you know he's a proper motorhead, consider a quad bike route or buggy adventure in your local surroundings.
If most answers are D
At this point, even you've probably realised your dad would be over the moon with an aerial experience. A helicopter ride, hot air balloon flight or pilot-for-a-day experience would leave him speechless. But if you really want to win his heart, you might need to go all out with a skydiving jump or paragliding flight.
Now, if by any chance your dad is one of those hard-to-read books, you might want to play it safe with a multi-adventure package covering at least two activity types - if one adventure doesn't hit the mark, the other surely will. Every cloud has a silver lining!
