How about a Mother’s Day cruise?

Think about it, nothing can come close to just spending time with mum enjoying the famed sights such as the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, as you gently glide across the harbour waterways.

The gift that she deserves

Why not spoil your mum with a pampering session? Make a day of it and send her to a hot spring – alone or with her gal pals, no harm in making other mums happy too. These therapeutic mineral pools are the perfect rejuvenating antidote to soothe all your muscles and your soul. One of the popular ones near to the CBD is the Blue Mountains Sparadise, just north of Katoomba, a least likely resting place for a Japanese onsen.

Make it all about your mum by treating her to a heavenly pampering session with massages, skin treatments, and private baths, and maybe even a stay in traditional Japanese accommodations on site! As an alternative, you can also treat her to a full-blown spa-cation at Park Hyatt or Four Seasons, that is if you’re ready to splash it all out!

Shoot up that adrenaline

Is your mum the adventure-type? Is she craving to let her inner daredevil out? Then surprise her with something exhilarating like skydiving or bungee jumping! After all, you’re never too old to try something new! Just make sure he’s not too afraid of heights, or else she might come back to Earth a bit cranky!

A little-less adrenaline-pumping option would be to treat her to a bird’s eye view of Sydney and the greater Sydney region with a helicopter or seaplane tour. This way, you can be with her at all times and share some of the most epic views of everything between Blue Mountains to the legendary Harbour Bridge, from way up high! If she’s a fan of the underwater world, then scuba diving can also be a solid option.

An epic animal encounter

You can never go wrong with animal encounters, but we don’t want another normal visit to the zoo. Kick things up a notch this year with an intimate wildlife experience your mum will never forget! Giver her a chance to live out her childhood dreams with a sleepover at Taronga Zoo! Your neighbours for the night? The native animals who share the land with us! Sleep to the sounds of these local residents and wake up to a stunning view of Sydney Harbour. Spend the rest of the day getting up close and personal with some of their cuter, cuddlier friends, and go home with some memorable snaps with Australia’s favourite critters as your companions!
