Kayakers, unlike pancakes or depressed turtles, muster the will to get themselves upright when flipped upside down. Float through life with today's Groupon to St. Johns Kayaks, located at Andell Bluff Plantation on Johns Island. Choose between the following options:

• For $39, you get a two-hour kayak tour (an $80 value).
• For $89, you get a three-hour kayak lesson (a $180 value).

St. Johns Kayaks introduces sightseers to Charleston’s low country with educational kayaking expeditions geared for all levels of paddlers. Knowledgeable guides share secrets about the lush, green country’s history, intricate ecosystem, and secret love affairs on two-hour tours, which run daily every two hours. Kayaks glide past beaches, wind along estuaries, and spy tidal marshes teaming with native wildlife. Along the way, dolphins may plunge in and out of their watery homes, as pelicans shift nervously from leg to leg and egrets scoop up fish for their nest aquariums. Riders can pilot a single kayak to practice navigation skills on their own or a double kayak to share the paddling duties with a friend.

In the three-hour kayaking lesson, an expert teacher will illuminate helpful paddling and steering techniques that students can use to explore waters on their own or to apply to careers as a Viking oarsman. St. Johns Kayaks welcomes first time riders and limits lessons to six people.
