What You'll Get
Before man conquered his fear of water, he amused himself with dust sports such as pushing boulders off cliffs, wrestling tumbleweeds, and falling in the dust. Conquer the wide-open waters with today's Groupon: for $45, you get a half-day guided kayak tour on the Lewis River from NorthWest EcoExcursions (a $90 value).
NorthWest EcoExcursions's guides, who each boast either a postgraduate education or more than 10 years in park-ranger experience, shepherd paddlers across the cool grey mirror of the Lewis River. During half-day kayak trips floaters guide an aquatic steed on tranquil, emissions-free jaunts along the border between Washington and Oregon, catching sights of wintering avian wildlife and kites in witness-protection programs.
Throughout the aquatic adventure, experienced naturalists elucidate the area's natural history and explain proper kayaking techniques. Gloriously worn-out paddle jockeys clamber ashore to warm up by wrapping mitts around an included hot beverage and snack or by doing a set of underwater jumping jacks.

About NorthWest EcoExcursions
A family of ducks swims along Devils Lake, river otters play across Lake Merwin, and a kayak tour floats along the water. When Tracie Driver started NorthWest EcoExcursions, she envisioned a recreation company that would combine outdoor thrills with respect for the environment. To this end, NorthWest's guides, who each boast either a postgraduate education or more than 10 years in park-ranger experience, educate their customers on local wildlife and geology during trips that run the gamut from hiking to whale watching to goat-packing tours. The staff also maintains eco-friendly practices, serving strictly organic foods on camping trips and ensuring all of their office's plants are 100% solar powered.
