A gift to be experienced rather than tucked away in a cupboard.
Description
Looking for an original gift for a loved one who likes to keep active? With Takamaka’s sports gift voucher in Lyon, give a real experience in the great outdoors. The Sport Discovery gift voucher lets the recipient choose their own activity from our full range of outdoor sports activities.
Canyoning, rafting, hydrospeed, paragliding, quad biking, hot-air ballooning… There’s no shortage of options, nor of playgrounds: Lake Annecy, the rivers of Savoie, the canyons around Aix-les-Bains, the Beaujolais vineyards or the trails around Lyon.
No more racking your brains for the perfect gift: you give the adventure, and the lucky recipient chooses the one that suits them best. Adrenaline, contemplation or sport with friends, there’s something for everyone.
The voucher is valid for 1 year. It’s sent immediately by email, or by post for €2. Ideal for a birthday, Christmas, Father’s or Mother’s Day, or simply as a treat.
And if the activity cannot take place for reasons beyond the recipient’s control, such as the weather, the voucher is renewed free of charge.
The gift voucher is valid for 1 year from the date of purchase. Some activities have entry requirements (minimum age, ability to swim, season…): the recipient is informed of these when choosing their activity with our team.
