But these activities have the capacity to provide a lot of fun to make for a memorable Christmas.

Whale Watching

Whales are the largest mammals on earth and most of the people have a big curiosity about these wonderful creatures. But they have to remain content with watching the programs made by National Geographic Channel. Now they have the chance to see this gigantic animal in its natural habitat which is the oceans. Companies are organizing special tours to let people see these beautiful animals engaging in playful activities and have an experience of a lifetime. Whales are animals that go on migration journeys and Sydney Harbor is one place where they are commonly sighted. They even spend some time here, and if you are lucky, you can even see them mating. Whale watching is a wonderful recreational activity, and for the kids it could be an exciting educational tour. Do not forget to take your digital camera and camcorder along as you may witness something that you may wish to have for keep sakes.

Hot Air Ballooning

This is one outdoor activity that can be enjoyed by the entire family together. It is full of lots of fun and excitement apart from providing an opportunity to come closer to the nature. As the name tells, it involves going up in the skies sitting under a huge balloon made of canvas. The balloon is filled with hot air which is lighter than normal air which causes the balloon to rise up in the skies. The activity provides a chance to get some breathtaking views of the surface below. When you buy gift vouchers for the activity, you are asked to come with everyone before sunrise at a predetermined place. There is a pilot (Yes, even balloons need a pilot) who releases small balloons to judge the speed and direction of air. Then as you all sit under the balloon and hot air is filled in the balloon, the pilot makes it rise up in the skies. Then he takes the balloon to a predetermined place while it keeps floating on air. It is indeed a wonderful feeling with cool breeze brushing your face and you getting a feeling of being a floating bird.
