Getting around on water was one of humanity's earliest primal instincts, which explains children's infatuation with pirates and why adults are always asking the North Star for advice. Get in touch with your watery roots with today's Groupon to Lazy Day Raft Rentals, located at the Calgary Curling Club. Choose between the following options:

• For $37, you get a weekend rafting package for up to four people that includes equipment and a raft (a $75 value).
• For $35, you get a weekday rafting package for up to four people that includes equipment and a raft (a $75 value).

Lazy Day Raft Rentals gears up families and friends and floats them on tranquil cruises along the Bow and Elbow Rivers. A family raft package furnishes four splashing sojourners with life coats, two paddles, one pump, a puncture-resistant raft, and a water gun for holding up stunning riverbanks. Rentals span 24 hours, so river rovers can leisurely splash over the peaceful waters of the Elbow River and sail the raucous, yet navigable, currents of the Bow before returning to any land vehicles left snugly in Lazy Day's free parking lot. Most journeys last two to five hours and glide by such scenic sights as the Calgary Zoo, Shouldice Park, Bowness Park, and plenty of skinny-dipping trout.
