Dolphins occupy a mammalian class higher than fish, mostly due to their warm-blooded veins and desire to eat squid shaped like highbrow literature. Witness the epitome of sea-faring sophistication with today’s Groupon for a ticket to a two-hour Dolphin Watching Adventure cruise ($34 value) from Atlantic City Cruises in Atlantic City, NJ. Choose between two options:

• For $17, you get one adult ticket (a $34 value).
• For $9, you get one child’s ticket (an $18 value).

Children’s tickets are valid for those up to 15 years old. The reliable schedule has cruises leaving daily at 1 p.m. from June 1–September 18.

Atlantic City Cruises’ sociable seafaring team greets guest deck hands aboard the Cruisn 1 for an approximately two-hour trip in search of the sea’s most beloved blowholes. After congregating at historic Gardner’s Basin and removing their designer scuba masks, passengers of all ages will hit the open sea to take in the guide’s educational narration as they comb the waves for Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Cruise organizers encourage amateur mariners to bring along cameras or purchase a disposable clicker onboard to catch snapshots of the slick whistling creatures. The trip gives customers the chance to get their deepest, darkest secrets off their chests in dolphinspeak and the ship hosts a hoard of snacks and beverages to buy, binoculars to rent, and souvenir photos, hats, and shirts to purchase. Feel free to collect a cocktail in the boat’s enclosed bar and sip it in the galley or gaze upon green-blue waters from the external walk-around deck.
