$95 for a Shallow Water Dolphin Encounter ($155 Value)

During the Shallow Water Dolphin Encounter, guests walk out into a natural lagoon, allowing waters to reach their waists. Once surrounded by water, they exchange handshakes and belly rubs with dolphins, such as Elvis, Nica, and Isaac. Trainers also show participants hand signals that cue the marine mammals to respond. Guests take turns entering the water, typically six at a time, to interact with one or two dolphins. The encounter does not have a set duration, rather it's based on a series of behaviors that the dolphins perform at their own pace. Encounters take place daily at 10 a.m. Nonparticipating visitors may also join for additional fee—$10 for adults, $5 for kids aged 7–17, and free for children aged 6 and younger.

Dolphin Cove

Like all dolphins, Elvis loves to chase fish, leap into the air, and paint abstract-expressionist artwork. He does, however, need a human to hand him a brush, which is where the Painting with Dolphins program comes in. This is just one of the initiatives at Dolphin Cove that reveals these marine mammals' fascinating behaviors. In a natural lagoon, trainers facilitate human-dolphin relations through encounters such as swimming with, snorkeling beside, or rubbing the belly of Elvis and his cohorts. The dolphins may also regale guests with antics such as sharing their favorite toys or showing off a new behavior. Dolphin Cove's additional services include the Trainer for a Day program and a live webcam, which was an idea Elvis brought from his background in IT.

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.
