$125 for a Hot Air Balloon Ride from R.O. Franks Aviation Company in Asheville, NC ($250 Value)
Hot-air balloons were originally designed as sky prisons for bullies to spend the rest of their natural lives cruelly mocking the weightlessness of timid clouds. Enjoy a less insulting application of aeronautics with today’s Groupon: for $125, you get a 45- to 60-minute hot air balloon ride from R.O. Franks Aviation Company in Asheville, North Carolina (a $250 value). For 15 years, third-generation sky engineer R. Addison M. Brown has hoisted panorama-junkies into the heavens by harnessing the power of hot, blustery air. The pilot and up to eight passengers clamber into the gondola just before sunrise, the time of day when winds are calmest and giant pumpkins transform back into balloons. The buoyant sky-vessel carries its sightseeing cargo aloft like a helium-filled donkey, rising 1,000-3,000 feet above ground level as the sun begins its own ascent over the Blue Ridge Mountains. With permissive weather, passengers may even be treated to an intimate and peaceful view of the city as Captain Addison points out local landmarks, such as the historic Biltmore Estate and the mysterious Mothra-shaped crater. Flights last from 45 minutes to one hour and set off every day, depending on weather conditions. Riders should book as early in advance as possible and call an hour before their scheduled time to check-in.

$50 for the Watermen’s Adventure Package at Real Watersports in Cape Hatteras ($100 value).
In the late 19th century, oceanographers discovered that waves are caused by distant winds and not, as it was previously believed, by the temper tantrums of adolescent sea monsters. Ride a krakenous conniption with today’s Groupon: for $50, you get a Watermen’s Adventure Package from Real Watersports in Waves on Cape Hatteras (a $100 value). Helmed by kiteboarding pioneers Trip Forman and Matt Nuzzo and lauded by Men’s Journal as one of the best sports camps in America, Real Watersports’ guides train and outfit extreme water recreationists of all skill levels. Wrangle waves during two-hour lessons in surfing , standup paddleboarding , or kiteboarding , a chimerical extreme water sport that combines a small board with a large, controllable kite to propel riders over the waves and into the air. No matter which method of propulsion you use, Real’s expert guides will teach you how to ride, chop through, or fly over the waves in private terrain set aside for Real by an exclusive permit from the National Parks Service, freeing athletes from the glare of beachcombers or the cat calls of foul-mouthed pelicans. The Watermen’s Adventure is available at 10 a.m. on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and no previous experience is required. All equipment is provided, so there’s no need to invest in an expensive board or stay up all night sewing kites out of old T-shirts. The availability of each sport is subject to weather conditions.
