$26 for a Three-Hour Guided Manatee Snorkel Tour at Adventure Diving in Crystal River ($55 Value)

Getting out of the house is often hampered by the fact that most houses are located inside a bigger and fancier house. Step outside the house outside your house with today's Groupon: for $26, you get a three-hour guided manatee snorkel tour at Adventure Diving in Crystal River (a $55 value). Tours embark daily between 6:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

Boasting a 38-year record of perfect safety in and on the water, Adventure Diving guides snorkelers into the depths of the Crystal River and King's Bay to witness the native west-indian manatees frolicking in their natural habitat. Boats depart from the docks in groups of no more than six passengers, ensuring noncrowded viewings and personal meet-and-greets with seagull senators. During the heart of the three-hour tour, guests don the included clean, certified snorkeling gear and hop into the water for a close-up view of the manatees. An endangered species characterized by their wizened faces and teardrop shape, manatees spend most of their time swimming peacefully, munching on a vegetarian diet, and photobombing pictures of mermaids.
