Redeem your Hilton Honors points for a tandem skydive ….

If you have been thinking that the current options of spending your miles and points are a bit, well, dull, Hilton Honors has the answer.

Via their Hilton Auctions platform, you can bid to do a tandem skydive:

Get ready for the ultimate adrenaline rush as you jump from 15,000 feet – the highest you can skydive from in the UK. After 20 minutes instruction, you are ready for the rush of freefall and a 5 minute canopy ride.

Tandem skydiving allows you to experience the thrill of freefall skydiving without any extensive training as you will be accompanied by an experienced instructor who will also be your own personal cameraman to film and photograph your experience.

This package for two (2) includes:
– Tandem Skydive Experience, including 20 minute instruction
– Video and pictures of your skydive experience
– Dinner at The Grill Restaurant
– One night stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort (Yorkshire) including breakfast
