In a Nutshell

Beginner and experienced rafters navigate Class III and IV rapids in 14 ft., self-bailing rafts

The Fine Print

In the Victorian era, extreme sports were limited to teatime without doilies, writing witty satires about earnestness, and riding a penny-farthing down a mild incline. Shock such staid sensibilities with this Groupon.

Choose from Four Options

  • $25 for a half-day Classic Middle Adventure trip for one (up to a $53 value)
  • $50 for a full-day Full River Adventure trip for one (up to a $103 value)
  • $50 for a half-day Classic Middle Adventure trip for one with a photo CD (up to a $103 value)
  • $75 for a full-day Full River Adventure trip for one with a photo CD (up to a $153 value)

Whitewater-rafting trips for beginner and experienced rafters alike explore the Class III and IV rapids of the Ocoee River from the comfort of a self-bailing raft. The half-day trip lasts 3.5 hours, with 2 full hours of on-the-water time. The full-day, full-river Ocoee trip explores about 10 miles in a total of 6 hours, including 4.5 hours of rafting time and a deli-buffet lunch. Photo CDs (a $50 value) give rafters lifelong memories to cherish and share online as proof that they're not allergic to water.

At the end of both trips, rafters are welcome to make use of onsite changing rooms and hot showers. Adventures Unlimited recommends that rafters dress for the weather and bring a change of clothes. Wetsuits are available for rental. Half-river trips reopen for the season on March 16, 2013, and full-river trips begin on May 11, 2013.

Adventures Unlimited

Foaming white rapids rush down the Ocoee River as birds chatter from within the leaves of towering trees. For nearly two decades, this has been the home of Adventures Unlimited, an environmentally sustainable full-service resort rolling with 30 acres of campgrounds, cabins, and whitewater-rafting facilities. Landscaping and gardens highlight native plants and animals, vehicles run on biodiesel fuel, and any construction efforts use sustainable materials or rocks that everyone was always tripping over anyway. The family-operated adventure company launches groups on whitewater-rafting trips through the tumultuous currents of the local Ocoee and Hiawassee Rivers or further afield in Costa Rica. To facilitate dry-land exploration and provide an energy outlet for serial finger painters, they also recently opened an outdoor wooded paintball field supplied by a full rental shop.

The Groupon Guide to: a Pretty Flower

Once in a great while, a fleeting glimpse of natural color may catch your eye, and you will become lost in the simple wonder of gazing at a pretty flower. Here is how to do so correctly:

  • Look at the flower. It is beautiful.

  • You may be tempted to pick the flower. Do not—simply let it be.

  • Lean in and smell the flower. If you are allergic to flowers you may wish to skip this step or, instead, you can just use a flexible twig to first prod the folds of the flower gently to ensure that it is free of honeybees, which may sting or startle.

  • Again, you may become tempted to pick the flower, justifying the floracide by picturing the flower adorning your sweetheart’s hair or lapel. Continue to resist. If your honeybunch is the sort to manipulate you into murdering flowers so they can cultivate an anachronistic aesthetic, you’re better off just spending the rest of the day staring at this flower while their coffee goes cold waiting for you at the coffee shop.

  • Keep them waiting. Your mother was right about them. Just like this guide is right about flowers.

What is the most beautiful flower? The answer may make you angry.
