Paddleboarding along a riverbank lets you get close to wildlife, much like sharing a strawberry with an elk. Share the great outdoors with this Groupon.

$24.99 for an Introductory Stand-Up-Paddleboarding Lesson and Rental ($49.95 Value)

All tours include life jackets and paddles for each person. Beginners of all ages can enjoy the outdoors after a brief stand-up-paddleboarding lesson, during which experienced professors of the paddle review the basics and how to navigate it around menacing goslings. From there, clients take to their watercraft for a tranquil 90-minute trek along Sunnyside Beach. As guests glide across the waters, they can absorb the sights and sounds of a natural world while still cruising by the skyline. Afterwards they can stop at the Sunnyside Beach Cafe.

Lessons and rentals may be booked Wednesday–Sunday. On weekends, there is an additional fee of $10 for stand-up paddleboards.
