Today's Deal: $7 to Float on the Guadalupe River
Posted: Sat, 29 May 2010 07:42 AM - 14,852 Readers
By: Groupon Austin
  Before humans settled on rubber tubes, alternative flotation devices
such as fainting couches, big shaggy dogs, shards of the Pequod, and an
extra-large roll of absorbent paper towels all enjoyed their moment in
fashion. Today's Groupon gives you a chance to test the unparalleled
innovation out for yourself: for $7, you get an inner-tube float for up
to four hours on the Guadalupe River (a $15 value) with Whitewater Sports
Tubing. This deal is
valid Sunday through Friday. Today's deal includes shuttle
service upriver and/or pick-up downriver, and, of course, the requisite
tube.
Floats last between one and four hours each, and the short,
one-hour route can be repeated. Gather a team of water-drawn hooligans
for a relaxing journey that takes you around the famous
Horseshoe
Loop. The river is flush with Momma Nature's finest currents
and rushing at its highest level in three years, so there's no better
time to propel yourself and your professional water Marco Polo team down
a living waterslide. Choose the
route that will
satisfy your inner sundial and outer sunsoaker.
If you bring a crew of four or more, Whitewater Sports will
offer a complimentary cooler tube, perfect for adult sodas or globules
of Capri Sun. Slip an inflatable quarter into this whitewater
rollycoaster and explore the natural world from the comfort of a gently
floating inedible donut with today's Groupon to Whitewater Sports
Tubing.
