Blue Banana

What is a Blue Banana?  No two blue bananas are the same, and whichever one you choose will depend on who it is for.  99BlueBananas.com provides the ultimate gift-giving idea website, where you can give so much more than a simple gift.  At 99 Blue Bananas, we deal in experiences.  Here you can send gifts of simple activities and lessons, or life-altering adrenalin rushes.  If you think someone you know would really like a certain experience, have a look through our catalogue of affordable gifts and see what you can find for them!

One of our most popular gifts is the "Bridge to Nowhere" bungee jump.  This incredible gift experience is one Blue Banana you have to try for yourself!  At only $69 per person the Azusa bungee experience is an affordable, exciting way to spend a day in the Angeles National Park.  The day includes far more than just a leap off a bridge ￿ it starts with a 2 hour walk up the gorge, until you reach the Azusa bridge ten stories above the river bed below.  The river is at most five feet deep, so bring your bathing costume!

If the Azusa bridge sounds tame and you want a Blue Banana that will really impress the receiver, try the beginner hang-gliding course or the sailplane introductory flight.  For $120 you or a friend of your choosing can strap yourself to a hang glider and hurl yourself off a sand dune, experiencing the utter stillness and weightlessness of flying at the same speed as the wind.  You will go up with an instructor the first time, but the next seven glides of the day are all up to you.  Take control and glide across the winds over a sunny, silver beach.

If you think your Blue Banana should take the recipient even higher off the ground, the sailplane flight for $160 is an incredible bargain.  After a brief instruction course from an FAA approved flight instructor you will go up in a dual-control glider.  Your instructor will get you up there but after that you can choose to try out your flying skills or simply let the glider circle the thermals until your instructor takes over for landing.  The entire flight is 40 minutes, and is an experience you will never forget!

Blue Banana isn't all about adrenalin rushes, and you can give gifts that are perfect for couples like massages, fencing lessons, tours, a romantic dinner and much more.  There are vouchers on 99 Blue Bananas for just about any kind of experience you can think of, from high-speed motorcycle racing to gentle boat rides.  You'll find most of our gifts very affordable, but there are some luxury cruises, helicopter flights and fighter jet flights.  Any experience you think you would like to have, or would like to give someone as a gift, you can find as a Blue Banana.
