Wine Insiders

Wine Insiders sprang fully formed from the head of founder John Davis 25 years ago, when he used his octopus-like industry connections to assemble a panel of wine experts for the sole purpose of seeking out the best and most affordable wines for his customers. On average, this league of extraordinary oenophiles approves only 1 out of every 100 bottles sampled, ensuring that only the most delicious wines stain their customers' lips and sippy cups a rich purple. Their confident palates offer a satisfaction guarantee: if customers aren't 100% delighted by the vinos they've selected, they'll refund the full cost of the order, no questions asked—not even "So, you doing anything fun this weekend?" Despite its staff's legendary pickiness, Wine Insiders stocks a variety of red and white wines, including pinot noirs, pinot grigios, rieslings, and cabernet sauvignons, with informative descriptions of each.

Junoon

Diners could be forgiven for mistaking Junoon for a royal mansion. The gourmet Indian restaurant’s layered light fixtures cast a soft, amber glow on the dining room, where vine-shaped sandstone sculptures and floating lotus blossoms catch the eye. Even the building’s façade, composed of hand-chiseled limestone, emanates lushness. And restaurant lovers have taken note of the restaurant’s gorgeous layout, with the New York Times declaring that “everyone looks good” and that “[l]ittle expense has been spared to make sure that this is the case.” New York Magazine proclaims that “[i]f you don’t believe that the parched postrecession restaurant landscape is slowly returning to the kind of lush boom-era opulence that New Yorkers are used to, then I suggest you book a table at the new Indian dining palace in the Flatiron district called Junoon.”

The ambience isn't the only thing that diners rave about; the cuisine earned a Michelin star in 2012 and was recently served at a fundraising dinner for President Barack Obama. Chefs craft each dish on the tasting menu exclusively with locally sourced meat, fish, and poultry, with the philosophy that each flavor should be respected. They have a spice room where diners can examine the seasonings that go into their entrees, which range from curries to shrimp to quail, and the chefs use all five elements of Indian cooking, preparing food in clay ovens, on griddles, and over open pits of lava.

Hip Hotel Steps from Caribbean with Spa and Rooftop Pool

About an hour south of Cancun, the seaside town of Playa del Carmen boasts a vibrant, pulsing nightlife all its own, centered on a street running parallel to the beach called Quinta Avenida. The name simply means "Fifth Avenue," but around here the word "Quinta" evokes the Argentinean, European, and American expats who have opened bars and boutiques along the pedestrian-only promenade. At the heart of the district rises In Fashion Hotel Boutique, a trendy, adults-only resort that's as cosmopolitan as its surroundings.

Inside, curved tile walls and a bright-red modern sculpture make the space feel more like an art gallery than a lobby. The avant-garde vibe continues in petit suites, where splashes of red or blue paint pop against minimalist, all-white décor. Zebra-print pillows and a funky armchair woven from red branches add a playful touch.

Yet the resort is more than eye candy. There are twin pools lined with matching tree-branch mosaics—one in a central courtyard, and another up on the roof, surrounded by plush day beds and glass railings. For further relaxation, the Zen Eco Spa blends poultices using orchids, vanilla pods, and mate, a tea-like herb. Take advantage of the complimentary fresh fruit, pastries, and other breakfast snacks in the morning, then wind down in the evening with cocktails at the Maladrín Bar.

Playa del Carmen, Mexico: Sinkhole Diving near Cozumel Beauty

Just across the sea from the island of Cozumel, Playa del Carmen has been called “the hippest city in all of the Yucatan Peninsula” by Lonely Planet. One popular local pastime is diving into cenotes, sinkholes filled with turquoise pools that extend down into twisting underwater caverns. Their name comes from the Mayan word dzonot, meaning “well,” as the local Maya once relied on them for drinking water and slip 'n' slide competitions.

To the south, preserved ruins of pre-Columbian cities give more insight into ancient Mayan civilizations. Tulum's crumbling temples sit above a dramatic ocean bluff, and Coba's enormous pyramid rises between two lagoons. For more adventures farther afield, you can hop aboard the ferry to Cozumel, which docks at the pier east of Calle 1. There, diving operations lead tours of the many reefs that Jacques Cousteau believed were some of the world’s most beautiful scuba-diving sights.

All-Inclusive Mini Metropolis on Pristine Caribbean Beach

With more than 500 species of fish among its coral formations, Palancar Reef is a diver’s dream. Located off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, the coral reef puts on a underwater show with its turtles, rays, and countless other marine species. Above the waves, the tiny island of Cozumel supports a white-sand beach, tropical jungles, and wild lagoons. But along with its pristine natural spaces, Cozumel also boasts a vibrant party scene that’s embodied in the beachfront resorts along its shores. Sabor Cozumel Resort & Spa, the island’s largest hotel, provides the best of both worlds with a massive private beach, daily activities, and nightly entertainment all included along with food and drinks.

Beginning July 1, Sabor Cozumel will divide its facilities into two sections: family-oriented and “exclusive," meaning adults-only. Caribbean garden-view rooms in the soon-to-be family section are palapa-style bungalows with traditional thatched roofs made from dried palm leaves. Large windows and sliding glass doors let in sunlight, breezes, and tropical-garden views. Islander rooms (in the adults-only wing) have a larger floor plan, with a furnished terrace and hammock.

All rooms are just steps from the resort’s white-sand beach, which stretches for more than 2,000 feet along the Caribbean. During the day, feel free to rent kayaks, snorkeling gear, and sailboats at no extra charge. If you’d prefer to just relax, cool off in one of three pools or grab a mojito at the swim-up bar. Elsewhere on the grounds, hotel staff leads various other games and activities, including dancing lessons.

All meals and drinks are included at Sabor Cozumel, meaning guests are free to dine at any of the half-dozen restaurants and bars on the property. Paper lanterns hang from the thatched-grass ceiling at La Isla, which serves a Mexican-influenced buffet at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guests staying in Islander rooms also enjoy access to Mosaique, an Asian-inspired restaurant serving signature tempura cheesecake.

Cozumel, Mexico: Tropical Vacation Hub with World-Class Reef

Though there’s no shortage of activities at the resort, some of the earth’s most exhilarating wild areas are on the Caribbean island of Cozumel. Dozens of tour operators lead expeditions through the island’s jungles, marshes, and the Palancar Reef—a diving hotspot ever since Jacques Cousteau first popularized it in 1961. On weekends in the main town of San Miguel de Cozumel, live jazz and salsa performances attract locals, tourists, and beatnik crocodiles to the Playa del Sol beachfront.

Smile Cafe

Nationally recognized cosmetic dentist and innovative Invisalign expert Dr. Daniel Noor works with a band of specialists and hygienists to keep chompers gleaming with an array of general, orthodontic, and cosmetic dental services. Visits to Smile Cafe's high-tech office kick off with a thorough exam, which combs teeth for evidence of cavities, baby teeth that have strayed from home, and gum disease, and a recommendation for any further action. Digital, panoramic x-rays also help probe for signs of hidden decay, among other oral maladies.

During 90-minute Zoom teeth-whitening sessions, a light-accelerated gel can brighten teeth several shades whiter. An Invisalign regimen straightens teeth with a series of custom-made clear aligners designed with advanced 3-D modeling software. An elite provider of this modern technology, Dr. Noor has even been recognized in Forbes for his Invisalign experience.

The chic office ensconces guests in cozy luxury, with striking red carpeting and giant flat-screen TVs. A bubble bar lends a fun vibe to the reception area, further deepening the relaxing aura and sorely tempting deer wandering around the city for food.:m]

Customers pick from the following six massage modalities: acupressure, aromatherapy, deep tissue, foot reflexology, hot-stone therapy, and Thai bomb therapy.

Enliven Body Works

A steamed ball glides along the spine, the herbs inside it shifting with its twists and turns. This is Thai bomb therapy, a traditional treatment of acupressure zones that can trace its current incarnation back to Wat Pho temple in Bangkok, and it's one of several eastern-influenced therapies available at Enliven Body Works. The rest of the services are more familiar—deep-tissue massage, waxing, and a lineup of eight facials. The attention to detail that allows aestheticians to customize each of these facials to the client's skin type extends to the spa itself; when not being used for a service or as a practice surfboard, treatment tables are decorated with a pyramid of rolled towels topped with a flower.

The cuisine, which Gazala made in her own kitchen until she acquired a second, larger restaurant, has been featured by Village Voice and profiled by New York magazine.

Learning how to read is like learning how to ride a bike—without proper instruction, it’s all too easy to end up in a bush. Get lost in a book instead with this Groupon: for $129, you get a six-hour Speed Reading 101 class from Speedlearning Institute (a $695 value). Classes are held at Columbia University, and are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., including five hours of class time and one hour for lunch. The Groupon is valid for classes held on the following days:

• Saturday, May 26
• Saturday, June 16
• Sunday, June 23
• Sunday, July 14
• Saturday, July 28
• Sunday, August 11
• Saturday, August 25

Utilized by presidential campaigns, national corporations, and students studying for college-entry exams, Speedlearning Institute’s techniques aim to boost reading speeds and comprehension abilities by up to 300%. During each six-hour Speed Reading 101 session, instructors divulge the institute’s guiding principles, designed to alleviate common reading snafus and the constant fear of being locked in a library overnight. Tutors enlighten students on such subjects as overlining, a speed-enhancing practice that involves directing eyes above words, and subvocalization, the concept of hearing written text mentally, which can impede one’s reading pace. The informative seminar also discloses methods that, like meditating while chanting every name from grandma’s high-school yearbook, can increase concentration and long-term memory skills by up to 95%.

All attendees receive an instructional manual and the institute’s own RasterMaster laser pen, a tool designed to expand peripheral vision and bolster at-home speed-reading practice. Geared toward high-school students to help to prepare them for standardized tests and college-placement exams, this course also assists students in improving scores on graduate-level exams such as the LSAT and the GRE.

Sim Sim Cafe

An unconventional fusion of Russian-Mediterranean cuisine adorns tables at Sim Sim Cafe, where large platters support juicy kebabs, pan-fried potatoes, and award-winning dushbara soup, voted Village Voice's best Azerbaijani cuisine of 2008 for its delicate, mint-flecked broth. Walking along the eatery’s red carpet, the rising steam of lamb, veal, and salmon kebabs swirls with aromas of Greek-style gyros, falafel, and tender lamb chops grilled to order.

La Zarza

Flickering candles tucked into tiny caves garnish an exposed-brick wall or glimmer atop rich, dark wooden tables, spreading their glow onto a wall forged from rustic timber planks. This combination of soft lighting and contemporary-yet-pastoral decor fosters a sophisticated, Spanish-inspired ambiance inside La Zarza. But it's the eatery's menu of authentic Argentinean and Spanish cuisine made from indigenous recipes and organic ingredients that really transports diners to another country.

To bolster bites of tapas, fresh ceviche, and slow-cooked steaks—an Argentinean staple—live guitarists strum traditional Spanish tunes and reality show theme songs every Friday and Saturday. The soundtrack continues thumping further into the night when La Zarza morphs into an upscale lounge fueled by pulsing beats from international DJs. At full bars across two floors, bartenders regale revelers with mojitos, sangria, and signature cocktails amid chic furnishings, such as opulent chandeliers and crimson drapery.

• $1,499 for liposuction on the lower or upper abdomen, outer waist, hips, posterior arms, back above or below bra, or men's chest (up to a $4,500 value)

After qualifying for the treatment, Doctor Luis A. Cenedese removes unwanted lipid cells after putting patients under local anesthesia, if required, with mild sedation. More dramatic liposuctions may require deep sedation with an anesthesiologist—which may incur an additional charge of $750–$1000—and require three days of recuperation before clients can return to work.

Beaute des Arts

A New York native, Dr. Luis Cenedese received his M.D. Ph D. from SUNY Downstate Medical Center before his interest in plastic surgery really took off. He shifted his career to both reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery after caring for burn victims and children with congenital defects during his residency at Beth Israel Medical Center. Years later, his private practice thrives, offering more than 10 treatments for women ranging from breast implants and facelifts to nonsurgical fillers; his male-oriented service list includes gynecomastia reduction, blepharoplasty, and rhinoplasty. Clients can maintain their new look by ingesting some of the products that Dr. Cenedese carries. Check the F.A.Q. for more information.

Live theater tends to be more thrilling than film, largely due to the heightened odds of seeing someone flub a line or deliver a stirring monologue while sitting in your lap. Witness truly dramatic close-ups with this GrouponLive deal to Stripped the Play at Culture Club. Performances are held at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays from May 25 to June 23. Doors open at 7 p.m. Choose between the following options:

• For $25, you get one general-admission ticket to any performance (a $50 value).
• For $250, you get a VIP party package for six at any performance (a $500 value). The party package includes the following:
  • Reserved seating on front-row couches
  • One bottle of champagne
  • A photo with the cast

Though they seem to bare it all on stage, the boys of Stripped mask tenderness beneath their ripped, rugged, ultra-macho personas. In a meta-theatrical take on the classic male revue, the script's winking ribaldries and secret angst blend serious theater with a bachelorette-ready good time. This run of the show sees writer, director, and actor Geoffrey Cantor return to the stage for the first time in nine years as Steve Savage, the troubled troupe's fun-loving ringleader and MC. Between all-out in-character performances, the soulful strippers struggle with crises of identity, love, and age, just like any more-clothed member of society.

Culture Club ensures that the party onstage segues seamlessly into a well-rounded night on the town. '80s kitsch flashes throughout the sprawling dance club in the form of light-up floors, giant Pac-Men tragically just out of reach of the ceiling's delicious disco balls, and giant posters for Back to the Future and The Breakfast Club.

• $25 for $50 worth of plants, flowers, and garden supplies

Garden supplies and plants flourish inside Urban Garden Center and its hoop house, where customers stock up on necessary foundations, such as 20 pounds of potting soil ($3) and 100% organic mulch ($8/two cubic feet), or on main attractions such as four-inch herbs ($4.50), one-gallon perennials ($8+), and flats of annuals ($15–$20).

Urban Garden Center

Urban Garden Center has been repurposing city spaces for flora long before the Converse owners started turning their Chuck Taylors into flower boxes. The New York mainstay carries on a family legacy that has served the NYC gardening community for more than 50 years. As an "off the grid" business, the center relies on zero utilities to operate. What's more, with the help of a chattering of chickens, they maintain a community compost station, which diverts waste from the local marketplace and businesses in a much safer manner than launching it into lower orbit with a trebuchet.

On a mission to keep city-dwelling plant-scapes looking as vibrant and as impressive as their suburban cousins, the 20,000-square-foot facility outfits green-thumbed customers with eco-friendly soils, fertilizers, and plants. Urban Garden Center also passes its horticulture torch to future generations at its children's learning garden, where young'uns come to learn during classes, school trips, and parties. For extra assistance, or to ensure their rose beds don't end up as rose pullout couches, customers can collaborate with the center's garden gurus for design, maintenance, and installation services.

Pint-size bumper cars put kids behind the wheel and give them the chance to interact with fellow drivers while exchanging insurance information.

A trained assistant sets up, takes down, and helms the photo booth for three hours. The booth prints two copies of 2”x6” photo strips per shoot and saves all images to a CD or a USB flash drive. Guests can peruse all of the images in an online photo gallery available for 60 days following the event. Garden State hosts four types of photo booths. To reserve a specific booth, a $100 reservation fee is required; otherwise, one will be automatically assigned based on availability.

Garden State Photo Studio

Beyond its work staging traditional photo shoots and portraiture, Garden State Photo Studio's team of event photojournalists is dispatched to special occasions to tell their stories. As celebrations such as weddings, sweet sixteens, and bar mitzvahs unfold, photogs follow the belles of the ball, snapping or videotaping a chronology of candid moments with their professional-grade digital cameras and lighting equipment.

Garden State’s traveling photo booths fuel party-time fun and memory-making. After attendants set up the stationary photographer, party-goers pile in as the booth snaps pictures of the revelry. Instant images are printed onto strips and posted online so that guests can relive the memories later or ask the photo booth accusingly why it took so many pictures of Karen.

• $489 for a semi-private, four-hour introductory kiteboarding lesson for two with land and water instruction (a $1,000 value)

During land training sessions, students set up, launch, fly, and land trainer kites. Instructors teach students basic wind science and the art of flying, as well as how to launch and land their training kites. Likewise, instructors get students up to speed on hand signals for safe communication. On-water sessions adapt the same instruction for aquatic physics by using an inflatable water kite, and also teach students how to body drag, relaunch on the water, and complete self-rescue techniques, before branching into more advanced water maneuvers. Instructors limit class sizes to four students, allowing for ample semi-private instruction.

Lessons take place between Gilgo Beach and Plum Beach, and vary depending on the day of week, time of year, and wind direction.

Cosmic Kites Kiteboarding

All instructors at Cosmic Kites Kiteboarding boast certifications from either the International Kiteboarding Organization or Professional Air Sports Association, and instill others with the knowledge they've gained during land- and water-based kiteboarding lessons. During land classes, students launch trainer kites, while water-based lessons allow pupils to skip wakes and mow overgrown seaweed while learning fundamentals. For more advanced or specialized instruction, the staff also teaches participants how to perform special maneuvers, tricks, and jumps on water. Additionally, the staff can introduce clients to a range of complete kitesurfing packages, as well as new or used boards and kites, and boots and wetsuits.

Helming additional locations in North Carolina and the Dominican Republic, Cosmic Kites currently sponsors two Dominican riders in their global quest on the World Kitesurfing Tour. When not supervising adrenaline-soaked adventures, Cosmic Kites maintains existing kiteboarding locations, works to open new ones, supports youth sporting events, and develops new ideas for boarding safety that aren't as costly as installing inflatable beaches.

Profiled on the PBS series Circus and dedicated participants in community-outreach programs, the international performers of the Big Apple Circus stretch one ring to new limits with this year's original show, Dream Big!. The all-new performance garnered glowing reviews from the Washington Post for its kid-friendly entertainment, talented entertainers, and fashion-forward clown shoes.

From ringside seats, eyes clearly catch the nuances of intricate acts, such as Melanie Chy, a third-generation circus performer who woos audiences with her body contortions, or the Shandong Acrobatic Troupe, a group of 11 young men ranging in age from 13 to 27 who walked away from the International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo in 2010 with the prestigious Gold Clown Award and a delicious recipe for crepes. Leading the charge in his final year with the circus is lovable clown Grandma, a marquee member of Big Apple Circus since 1982 and inductee into the International Clown Hall of Fame. Grandma has also been seen on CBS's Circus of the Stars and in multiple appearances in Macy's famed Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Luna Park at Coney Island

The successor to Coney Island’s iconic amusement parks of the 20th century, Luna Park delights families with games, entertainment, and attractions ranging from classic spinning teacups to The Cyclone, an 85-foot roller coaster originally built in 1927. As youngsters acclimate to adrenaline on low-fi rides such as the Big Top Express, a colorful circus train featuring clowns, elephants, and a bright-red caboose, bigger kids and stilt-wearing toddlers dive in to such exciting diversions as the Wild River, a log flume that culminates in a sopping, 40-foot plunge. The Scream Zone packs even bigger thrills into rides such as the Steeplechase, which accelerates from zero to 40 miles per hour in less than two seconds, and the Soarin’ Eagle, which glides above crowds on the paths below. Throughout the day, magicians and hula-hoop artists entertain audiences on the Dreamland stage, and games such as Whack-a-Mole and Duck Pond challenge players’ skills at naming every animal’s Latin taxonomy.

Tour of Ireland's Countryside with Historical Hotel Stays

Few spots in Europe feel as timeless as the Irish countryside. The craggy, untouched coastline and rolling meadows dotted with herds of sheep and the occasional crumbling castle seem to belong to a faraway past, as though the Industrial Revolution never managed to jump the Irish Sea. From the Tudor stone houses of Kilkenny to the tombs of Boyne Valley, Authentic Ireland Travel's seven-day, six-night Historic Hotels of Ireland Tour offers a taste of the Emerald Isle, with a flexible itinerary and accommodations in centuries-old lodgings.

This deal does not include airfare. Click here to see a detailed trip itinerary.

Days 1–2: After arriving at Dublin Airport, you'll head to Kilkenny City, one of Ireland's oldest towns and home to an imposing 12th-century castle. Directly opposite the castle and the first stop on the tour of historical hotels, Kilkenny River Court Hotel makes a convenient base for exploring the medieval city's many pubs and craft shops. With the included rental car, you can also visit the historical sites in the surrounding countryside, including the monastic ruins of Kells Priory, which you can freely explore outside the company of tour guides and resident poltergeists.

Days 3–5: On the next leg of the journey, you'll stay at the gray-stone Cahernane House Hotel in rural Killarney on the edge of a mountainous national park. Built by the Earl of Pembroke's family in 1877, this stately manse is filled with Victorian antiques, grand velvets, and log fireplaces.

Over the next three days, you're free to explore the town's lively pub districts on Parliament and John Streets and the nearby valley for activities ranging from golf to canoeing. On day 4, a horse and carriage ride tours the countryside via scenic paths, making a short stopover at the 15th-century Ross Castle. Then it's off to the fishing village of Dingle, known for ancient beehive huts and its resident bottlenose dolphin, Fungie, who has inhabited the local waters since 1983. During a one-hour boat trip, you can watch him jump and play up close, as he often puts on a show for travelers.

Days 6–7: A 3.5-hour drive through Ireland's famously verdant countryside will put you at Dunboyne Castle Hotel, an 18th-century mansion tucked amid Boyne Valley's megalithic sites. Here, you can tour prehistoric burial sites such as Newgrange, a large mound built more than 5,000 years ago and filled with mysterious carvings and stone-passage tombs. On day 7, you'll head to Dublin for the return flight home or continue traveling at your own.

Weeklong Journey Through Morocco's Medinas, Kasbahs, and Desert Wilderness

The Strait of Gibraltar separates Morocco and Spain, and they’re only about 8 miles apart at the narrowest point. Cross that stretch of water, though, and there’s a striking shift in culture and climate. Scattered throughout the Moroccan desert landscape, there are medinas—old town squares surrounded by medieval walls. Within these ancient Islamic fortresses, you’ll typically find winding streets with open-air markets that brim with colorful clothing, woodwork, and sweet-smelling cuisine.

During an eight-day guided tour, G Adventures will lead you from Casablanca to Marrakech to show how Morocco's rich history and traditions intermingle with modernity. Along with a group of 10–15 people, a "Chief Experience Officer" will lead each trek and encourage the group to try new things to get an understanding of the Moroccan culture. Breakfast is included each day, as are hotel accommodations with one roommate from your group, but airfare is not.

View the full itinerary here.

Day 1: Upon arrival in Casablanca, you'll meet for a powwow with your tour group at the hotel. There, you'll make introductions and go over logistics before heading out for dinner at a local restaurant.

Day 2: After breakfast, you and your compadres will pile into an air-conditioned van for the four-hour drive to Meknes. You’ll take a guided tour of its medina, which was once ruled by Moulay Ismail. Artifacts from his reign still remain intact, including an ingenious granary and stable that accommodated the sultan's legendary 12,000 horses and their swimming pools filled with delicious oats.

A 45-minute ride north soon lands at Volubilis, an ancient skeleton of a Roman town complete with bathhouses and pillars that have stood for nearly 2,000 years. The day then winds down with a two-hour drive into Fez, another medieval town that, in the 11th century, was the largest city in the known world.

Day 3: A half-day guided walking tour of Fez's vibrant medina kicks off day 3. Here, you'll have a chance to browse traditional Moroccan souks, or bazaars, which overflow with everything from fresh produce and spices to handmade brass, wood, and copper goods. The rest of the day is set aside for you to explore this exotic city as you see fit.

Day 4: During a 10-hour drive across the Atlas Mountains, city scenes transform into desert. The first stop is Merzouga, a gateway town to the Sahara. Here, you'll condense your luggage into a single pack and trek out into the desert wilderness on camelback. As dusk falls, the group gathers at a Bedouin-style tent camp to sleep under a dazzling canopy of stars.

Day 5: Today, your tour troupe will rise at dawn and hike back to Merzouga as the sun rises. Later in the afternoon, you’ll take a hike through Todra Gorge, which has spectacular sheer-walled canyons, before heading to a local palm-tree farm.

Day 6: Ait Benhaddou is one of the Morocco's best-preserved kasbahs, and it’s the groups next stop after a drive through the Atlas foothills. You’ll also make an early lunch stop in the town of Ouarzazate, which served as the shooting location of several Hollywood films, including Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator.

Days 7–8: After emerging from the mountainous Tizi n'Tichka Pass, take the day to explore Marrakech's famous Djemaa el Fna square, where you can bargain on anything from lanterns to sheep's heads. Before the end of your tour on day eight, it’s worth it to check out Marrakech's resplendent Koutoubia palace, the Saadina tombs, or see what else the city's been up to since its founding in 1062.

The best part of kayaking is the exhilaration of exploration, up until you realize the difficulty of paddling through pudding in your bathtub and must face yourself in the mirror. Take to real rivers with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

• $25 for a one-hour kayaking tour for one person ($50 value)
• $45 for a one-hour kayaking tour for two people (a $100 total value)

Tours launch from a variety of put-ins throughout Long Island based on day and time.

JK Kayak

Though he often went out on the water in his parents' motorboat as a child, the owner of JK Kayak didn't fully discover his passion for kayaking until one summer spent visiting his sister at her lakeside home in Pennsylvania. Not long after his first paddle stroke, he devoted himself to the sport and felt compelled to nurture the same passion in others. Helming a team of American Canoe Association-, First Aid-, and CPR-certified guides, he leads year-round tours through Long Island's historic harbors and waterways, launching from a different point each day.

Instructors usher kayakers of all skill levels through Cold Spring Harbor, Alhambra Beach, and Oyster Bay Harbor, which stretches out below the hills of Sagamore Hill Historic Park––the former summer home and private paintball arena of Theodore Roosevelt. Along the way, they teach paddling techniques to beginners and point out interesting sights and wildlife. On each tour, they help participants master piloting sit-in touring kayaks, which reach up to 17 feet in length and are designed for long-distance paddling or prodding sleeping whales awake. Some of the guides also draw from experience in whitewater rafting and kayaking and lead whitewater-navigating trips in Costa Rica.

Global Boarding

"There is this amazing energy out on the water; you get a chance to ride Mother Nature. It doesn't cost anything, and there is always a freshness to it." When Global Boarding's founder Robb Reid describes his profession, it's hard to believe he has been at it for more than a quarter of a century. Mr. Reid remains as passionate as when he first discovered surfing as a young boy. "It has always brought me happiness," he says.

As a professional wakeboarder and coach, Mr. Reid's dedication took him across the globe. He traveled to the beaches of Central America and learned to do everything upside down in Australia. Despite each country's beauty, it wasn't until Mr. Reid and his wife found the clear waters and nature preserves of Sag Harbor that they knew they had found what they were looking for: a home. In 2001, Global Boarding was born.

Along with a team of ARC-certified professionals, Mr. Reid keeps his clients from surfing in the bathtub May through September of each year. Their fleet of boats can pull water gear such as tubes, wakeboards, and water skis. In Global Boarding’s kids' surf program, Mr. Reid uses wake surfing as a transitional tool to teach new surfers how to find balance atop the ocean's natural playgrounds.

The safety-minded staff keeps eagle eyes trained on little ones and teenagers as they flit through the facility.

Inline 1 Sports Center's locally inspired mini-golf course sends players of all ages through a nine-hole labyrinth, in which they must putt past the yellow plane at MacArthur Airport, through Mount Sinai High School, and under the Stony Brook Post Office.

• $279 for three Cavi-Lipo treatments (a $900 value)

During 30-minute ultrasound-cavitation treatments, a technician traces the Cavi-Lipo hand piece over one problem area, such as the belly, thighs, or hips, per session. The device's ultrasonic energy helps to break down lumpy cellulite structures and disrupt the membranes of subcutaneous fat cells, causing them to release their contents into the body and shrink. The contents are flushed away via the lymphatic system or burned for energy. The clinic experts recommend four to seven treatments twice weekly for optimal results.

Clients looking for more dramatic results can explore the doctor’s surgical options, which can transform necks, noses, and brows into stunningly youthful—and often undetectably natural—versions of their former selves.

As demand for paintball guns and safety gear grew among his brigade of marksmen, he converted his basement into a makeshift store, supplying paintball accouterments from home until moving into a storefront in 1990. Within two decades Tony and his clan formed the lauded paintball team the New York Dogs, opened their own indoor arena, and eventually combined that arena with their largest store yet.

That facility forms the backbone of Island Paintball, where two sports turf fields host Model 98–brandishing players. In between games, players can watch other contests from behind the staging area's plexiglass viewing windows or browse Island Paintball Supplies' gun wall and 12 massive showcases of paintball gear. An in-house gunsmith repairs any malfunctioning guns, which patrons can wield at open-play sessions, private parties, or on the targets strung up in the booths of Island Paintball's mobile target trailer.

Le Play Cafe Indoor Play Area & Coffee Lounge

Katrina Wells, a mother of two, loved spending time with her child but still longed for a place to relax and sip coffee. Family-friendly play centers had been widespread when she lived in South Florida, but they seemed entirely absent from her back home in Long Island. Undeterred, Wells took initiative and designed a business that would cater to children and their parents.

Across Le Play Cafe Indoor Play Area & Coffee Lounge's 2,000 square feet, imaginations spring to life at performance stages, dress-up areas, and pretend kitchens. A climbable play structure helps little ones to develop gross motor skills, and age-appropriate toys delight toddlers. On the other side of the play center, scents of fresh roasted coffee fill the café as parents relax, socialize, and share photos of their baby dolls. In addition to cheering children and adults, Wells' brainchild also puts a smile on Mother Nature's vine-covered face. Her eco-friendly facility boasts LED lighting and oversize windows that help to reduce energy costs.

Mika Japanese Cuisine & Bar

Tucked behind an unobtrusive downtown storefront, diners devour fish-fueled feasts at Mika Japanese Cuisine & Bar. Aquatic fare transforms into sashimi and specialty sushi such as the shrimp-tempura-and-avocado roll topped with black-pepper tuna and onion salsa. Beef, chicken, and seafood broiled and marinated in gentle teriyaki sauce entice taste buds, as do steaming bowls of tempura and udon noodles. Larger parties can retire to the eatery’s private karaoke room—with a floor laid with tatami mats—and nibble on festive platters while singing into microphones or unguarded hand rolls.

Chip'n Dipped

Peter Goldfarb sits watching his mother, who holds a textbook with one hand while churning cookie dough with the other. As she pulls double duty as a mom and graduate student, she unwittingly alters the course of her son's life. The young Peter will soon grow up, move to Los Angeles, and pursue a career in television production—but his friends won't care about his industry stories; they'll want to know where his shipments of ridiculously tasty cookies are coming from.

This true tale is what inspired Peter to eventually enroll in culinary school and coax his mom into cofounding Chip'n Dipped. Today, the duo and a crew of bakers make all-natural cookies, chocolates, and confections—including gluten- and dairy-free options—in full view of customers, as well as for impressed reporters from large publications such as the New York Times, Newsday, and the Candyland Gazette. Using kosher ingredients and minimally processed chocolates, the mom-and-son team creates treats loaded with bioflavonoids and free of hydrogenated oils and preservatives.
