Prior to the kayak's invention, the only practical way to glide across the surface of water was to wait for it to freeze or hitch a trailer to an inattentive swan. Give waterfowl a break with today's Groupon to Eagle Adventure Experiences in Wasaga Beach. Choose between the following options:

• For $40, you get a half-day rental of two single kayaks or stand-up paddleboards (an $80 value).
• For $70, you get a full-day rental of two single kayaks or stand-up paddleboards (a $140 value).

Eagle Adventure Experiences outfits intrepid aqua-wayfarers for vigorous paddling excursions along the scenic Wasaga Beach shoreline. Helpful staff members equip renters with an 11- to 14.5-foot kayak or stand-up paddleboard, safety equipment, riding crops, jodhpurs, and paddles of the appropriate size. Paddlers can then skim along the waters of 14-mile-long Wasaga Beach, the longest freshwater beach in the world. Half-day rentals provide up to four hours of exploration, and all-day oar wielders can take in afternoon twilight over the Georgian Bay. Eagle Adventure’s expert staff has more than 60 years of combined experience in outdoor sports and recreation and can advise explorers on routes, rowing technique, and houseboat mortgage refinancing.
