Early aquatic explorers traveled the waterways of the world in search of new lands, natural resources, and Waldos. Blaze wake trails with today's Groupon to Outer Island Expeditions in Eastsound. Choose between the following options:
- For $39, you get a three-hour Point Doughty kayak tour with all equipment included (up to a $79 value, recommended for ages 8 and older).
- For $79, you get a full-day Sucia Island State Park kayak tour with all equipment included (up to a $159 value, recommended for ages 12 and older).
During a three-hour tour to Point Doughty, fully outfitted kayakers will depart at 10 a.m. or 2 p.m. from Smuggler's Villa Resort to explore areas surrounding Orcas Island. Paddling down the north shore to Point Doughty State Park, home to seals, eagles, porpoises, and a variety of shore birds, participants will traverse an area accessible only by kayak and swan-shaped paddleboat. Paddlers will break on the beach to explore and enjoy a view of Mount Baker before heading homeward.
During the all-day Sucia Island State Park tour, aqueous adventurers will depart at 9 a.m. to sight wildlife and paddle the remote open waters of Sucia and Orcas islands. After outfitting fledgling water pilots with kayaks and ample mermaid repellant, instructors will ferry students to Sucia aboard a powerboat, stopping along the way at optimal wildlife-sighting locations. After a brief lesson, kayakers will shove off to explore the land-dappled region during an hour and a half of paddling. Eat lunch at a remote beach and explore the undeveloped island's natural caves, fossil beds, sandstone formations, and variety of wildlife, including bald eagles, osprey, Bigfoots, river otters, harbor seals, sea lions, porpoises, and the occasional orca. After another 90 minutes of paddling, patrons will be shuttled back to Orcas Island.

The Groupon Guide to: Stuffed Foods
As we all know, stuffing two atoms together produces the miracle of nuclear energy, so it's no surprise that cutting-edge culinists create miracles in the kitchen by stuffing different foods together. Here's a look at some of the most popular stuffed foods:
Stuffed-Crust Pizza: It took food scientists 14 decades to solve mankind's greatest riddle: how do you ruin everyone's favorite food? Common pizza-crust stuffings include extra sauce, basketball air, and heart-straining levels of Cheeze®, the dairy-like food globule that tastes like it sounds!
Stuffed Quail: As a gluttonous double-food for the wealthy, quail is normally served with a second meat gently crammed into its empty cavities. If a second game bird has not been hunted, the shamed hunter is forced to eat his dinner quail stuffed with antique gold coins, boat deeds, early drafts of the Constitution that outlaw "bad vibes," or other conspicuous signs of wealth.
Stuffed Turducken: The only food that starts with "turd," this zealously stuffed monstrosity consists of a chicken stuffed into a duck that is then stuffed into a turkey. For a real edible adventure, however, many extreme eaters take an extra step and stuff the entire triple-bird into the mouth of a waiting pelican just to illustrate mankind's dominance over his feathered friends.
