Why a Trip with Dad Is the Ultimate Gift

Let’s be honest… your dad probably doesn’t need another mug, monogrammed wallet, or "World's Best Dad" tie. What he really wants — even if he’d never say it out loud — is time. Time with you. Time to slow down, laugh, and share experiences that don’t come in a box.

This Father’s Day (or really, any day), consider giving the kind of gift that outlasts any gadget or grill set: a shared adventure.

Why Travel Means More

Trips with dad aren’t just about the destination — they’re about the stories that unfold along the way. Whether it’s cracking jokes on a road trip, having deep conversations over dinner, or seeing him totally geek out at a museum or golf course, travel creates a space for connection that’s hard to find in the everyday rush of life.

These shared moments — the ones that feel small in the moment but become core memories — are what make travel such a powerful gift.

And here’s the secret sauce: when a trip is planned around something your dad genuinely loves, it’s not just a vacation. It’s a bonding experience.

Ideas for Every Type of Dad

Looking for some inspiration? Here are just a few ideas to spark your next father-figure getaway:

For the Golfer

Head to St Andrews, Scotland, where the greens are legendary and the views are as epic as the fairways. Play where the game began, then toast the round with a single malt and a sea breeze.

For the Bourbon Lover

Take a laid-back but flavor-packed journey along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Think tastings, distillery tours, and BBQ with a side of storytelling — perfect for a dad who appreciates the finer sips in life.

For the Sports Fan

Jet off to London to catch a Premier League match, tour iconic stadiums, and soak up pub-side match day culture. Want to make it next-level? Add VIP seats or a behind-the-scenes tour to bring the dream alive.

For the History Buff

Walk in the footsteps of heroes with a meaningful visit to Normandy, France. Explore D-Day beaches, museums, and medieval towns that bring the past vividly (and emotionally) to life.

For the Culinary Companion

Savor every bite on a food-focused getaway in Tuscany, Spain, or even a hidden gem right here in the U.S. Perfect for dads who bond best over a great meal and good wine.

Whether your dad’s perfect trip involves stadium seats, castle tours, or distillery stops, the goal is the same: time together, doing something you’ll both remember long after the trip ends.
