Sabai Thai Spa’s experienced staff wield Thai massage techniques to restore tense bodies to a serene, supple state. Customized 90-minute sessions begin with a series of flowing, full-body stretches and pressure-point massage techniques. A foot reflexology massage hones in on weary feet to relieve tension and increase circulation, and a reflexology hand massage gently kneads overwrought hands and wrists to ensure dexterous sock-puppet performances. Finally, a Neti facial massage extends the stress-subduing treatment to the scalp, face, and neck, aiming to clear lymphatic pathways and minimize the appearance of facial puffiness and fine lines. Organic skincare products and hot, jasmine-scented towels further enhance the soothing experience, helping to vanquish aches accumulated over the years of backpacks, piggyback rides, and freeloading parrots.

Drink to German heritage with today’s deal: for $15, you get a select schnitzel and a pint of beer at Deutsches Haus Restaurant, located inside the Vancouver Alpen Club (up to a $30.24 value, including HST).

The Deutsches Haus at the Vancouver Alpen Club distributes authentic German continental cuisine from mountainous lunch and dinner menus. Anoint esophagi with a pint of premier Germanic beer (up to a $7 value), such as the Krombacher Pils, Whistler Weissbier, or Okanagan Pale Ale, before indulging a whining stomach with one of several models of schnitzel. In the schweineschnitzel ($18), crispy bread crumbs envelop an escalope of pork with a bear hug as a duo of sautéed potatoes and seasonal vegetables murmur to expectant tongues. Patrons can also try the zigeunerschnitzel ($20), featuring a traditional German noodle spaetzle, which tag-teams tummies along with pork schnitzel and a spicy gypsy sauce. The Vancouver Alpen Club serves local German, Swiss, and Austrian communities and their neutral Mindsweeper allies. A fully stocked bar runs alongside the wood-walled, -floored, and -chaired dining space of Deutsches Haus, whose depictions of the German countryside and clean white tablecloths give it an authentic German flair impossible to gain from claiming to be a descendant of Einstein after failing a math exam.

Today’s Groupon: for $17, you get admission to and 100 paintball rounds and equipment rental at Panther Paintball in Surrey (up to a $35 value).

At Panther Paintball, players spend full days firing technicolor ammo across 57 acres of varied terrain. Paint warriors head to 1 of 12 playing fields, where unlimited CO2 cartridges propel 100 rounds of custom-made Formula 13 paintballs out of a semiautomatic marker gun equipped with a loader and barrel-blocking safety device. Fire acrylic salvos from below ground at the trench field, or turn unsuspecting adversaries into pointillist masterpieces from towers at the city field. Dense forest canopies shadow combatants as they crawl next to dirt mounds and duck behind tires, and referees ensure fair play and the absence of performance-enhancing paint thinners. Panther Paintball outfits sharpshooters in all the necessary gear, including coveralls or camouflage jackets, goggles, and paint-by-number fedoras. Players can also purchase refreshments or more paintball rounds for an additional fee.

Though Panther Paintball sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Tofino
411 Campbell St. Tofino, British Columbia
(250) 725-2132

Enjoy nature sans arboreal attire with today’s Groupon for a tour from The Whale Centre in Tofino. Choose from three options:

• For $39, you get one admission to a 2.5-hour bear-watching tour (up to a $79 value, including a $5 fuel charge).
• For $42, you get one admission to a 2.5-hour whale-watching tour (up to an $84 value, including a $5 fuel charge).
• For $55, you get one admission to a 6-hour tour of Hot Springs Cove with whale watching (up to a $110 value, including a $5 fuel charge).

Kids three and younger are normally free, and tickets for students, seniors, and kids ages 4–12 are normally discounted.

Aboard eco-friendly, quiet-engine vessels, The Whale Centre’s seasoned seafarers lead wildlife watching tours around Clayoquot Sound. A 30-foot Boston Whaler ferries tourists past reefs and islands for a 2.5-hour whale-watching expedition, introducing them to a chance at seeing a host of fluke-flaunting cetaceans such as Pacific gray whales, humpback whales, and orcas. Each whale-watching tour outfits landlubbers with cruiser suits and woolen gloves and hats to prevent teeth from chattering to the beat of “Frosty the Snowman” while guides spew out educational commentaries about the wildlife in sight. Alternately, observe zany antics from the hull of the 24-foot M.V. Eco during the 2.5-hour bear-watching tour through tranquil inlets and channels. West Coast black bears scour low-tide shores for picnic baskets while guides identify individual teddies by name based on their behavior and monogrammed T-shirt.

Those opting for the 6-hour hot-springs tour cruise up the coast on a covered boat—the Hootla – Kootla —toward Hot Springs Cove in Maquinna Provincial Park, keeping their ocular orbs peeled for possible marine-life sightings. Once docked at the cove, explorers trek across a 2-kilometre cedar boardwalk through an old-growth rainforest, rewarding torsos tired of standing up to gravity’s bullying with a soak in the toasty waters of a thermal spring pool. The Whale Centre recommends that hot springers bring along lunch, water shoes, a bathing suit, a towel, and a $3 BC Parks fee to enter the park.

A member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association and Vancouver’s first female roller-derby league, the Terminal City Roller Girls maintain four house teams composed of more than 60 local skate mavens from all walks of life. Doors open at 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 9 as the TCRG All-Stars take on Portland’s Axles of Annihilation for an evening of full-contact debates on elbow-pad etiquette. Action starts at 6:30 p.m. when rookies from all four teams meet for a prebout scrimmage. The main event ensues at 7:30 p.m. as TCRG’s top rollers collide on the flat track with Portland’s finest and any lost car-side diner waitresses. Gals get unladylike as they shoulder-check and hip-bump one another with minimal padding but maximum panache, whipping jammers through the scrum to surpass the opponent’s pivot skater while simultaneously waylaying the opposing jammer. Over the course of each 30-minute half, damsels uphold such monikers as Apocaliz Now, Trixi Trippin Chix, and Tiki TimeBomb.

A player-owned-and-operated league, the TCRG seeks to empower individuals on and off the track by working with local charities such as Kids Up Front, which pairs underprivileged children with tickets to the theater, sporting events, and culture events.
