Numerous ecological regulations impact our fish, yet few volunteers are interested in doing the hard work of registering them to vote. Canvass your local waterways with today's Groupon: for $24, you get a banana-boat ride for two from Tidal Wave Water Sports in Isle of Palms (a $50 value).

Tidal Wave Water Sports splashes and surges riders against the salty waves, setting them in the slippery saddle of their own bouncy banana-shaped vessel. Combining safety, scenery, and sport, U.S. Coast Guard captains and certified guides conduct each banana-boat ride, towing each buoyant fruit behind a larger boat, where they can easily scan the briny depths for signs of troublesome sea monkeys. Small groups of up to six people typically straddle these inflatable boats, and with today’s deal, you and a friend will get to take the reins alongside other like-minded fruit fans (a minimum of three riders is required per trip), cruising around the surf for a silly, raucous half-hour.

Peel paddlers as young as six years old are welcome when accompanied by a guardian, making today’s deal a great option for families looking for some together time that doesn’t involve eating in front of the TV or collectively unfriending Grandma on Facebook. Regardless of age, oceanic explorers should expect to get wet on their air-filled cruise, whether from passing boat splashes or Super Soaker–equipped pirate ships.
