Today’s Groupon soothes scraggy digits with an essential mani-pedi from Solarice Wellness Spas. Choose from one of Solarice’s two area locations:

•For $44, you get an essential mani-pedi at the Vancouver location (a $90 value).
•For $49, you get an essential mani-pedi at the Whistler location (a $100 value).

Solarice Wellness Spas rejuvenate exhausted extremities with the essential mani-pedi treatment. As you relax in the cozy sanctuary, Solarice’s skilled keratin-croppers will shape your nails and give your cuticles a compassionate caring for previously only afforded to fallen baby birds. With their tips shiny and polished, clients’ glove-fillers and boot-occupiers will leave the spa feeling clean and refreshed, boasting a healthy sheen that rings of tension relief and increased circulation. The essential manicure and pedicure lasts approximately 75 minutes. You can also apply the value of your Groupon toward add-ons or upgrades; just pay the remainder of the cost during your visit.

Enter Solarice’s tranquil surroundings and let the serene sounds of silence wash over you like a waterfall of Zen-flavoured sunshine. This Groupon is only valid toward a maximum of two feet and two hands per client.

Whistler, British Columbia
http://www.whistlerbungee.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $65, you get a bungee jump, plus a T-shirt, at Whistler Bungee (a $130 value), located off Highway 99.

With its experienced staff and impeccable safety record, Whistler Bungee offers year-round, high-speed thrills without spills. Jumpers can hurl themselves headfirst from a bridge suspended 160 feet above the glacier-fed Cheakamus River, attached by the ankles to a slender elastic lifeline or by a chest harness that keeps them upright for exhilarating views of dense woodland and basalt-column cliffs. Different cords can make the rebound faster and higher or slower and softer, depending on the jumper’s taste. Participants can also make the death-defying drop attached to another person, in a wheelchair, or playing a slide trombone. After free-fallers have been winched back up to the bridge, they can stroll over to the registration hut to peruse action shots of their jump snapped by pros from Coast Mountain Photography and, if they choose, take home a CD of 15–20 images (for an additional fee) along with their complimentary Whistler Bungee tee. Spectators are welcome.

Transportation from Whistler Village to the bungee jump site is available for an additional $10 fee.

Heartier appetites hanker for the braised rack-of-lamb, bred on the open range and served alongside a polenta potato cake ($35), or nine-hour roasted prime rib ($28–$34). Mid-day meal-takers graze upon Asian Hunan kung pao free-range chicken with stir-fried vegetables ($17) while sampling one of Dockside’s eight in-house brews.

Today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a whale watching tour (up to a $99 value, free for tots three-years-old and younger) at Jamie’s Whaling Station, in either Tofino or Ucluelet. This Groupon does not include the additional $7 gas and research fee.

Jamie’s Whaling Station has embarked on ocean adventures for nearly 30 years, exploring the natural habitats of whales, bears, and sea lions from the safety of their esteemed fleet of tour boats. Climb aboard one of the 65-foot vessels, Leviathan II and Lady Selkirk, and gaze out over the choppy horizon while on the lookout for Earth’s largest mammals. Whale sightings occur seasonally, featuring encounters with greys, humpbacks, or orcas. Tours—which begin March 1 and can last between two and three hours—include a complimentary hot beverage, indoor and outdoor seating, and access to the snack bar. Jamie’s also guarantees cetacean sightings by issuing rain-check tour passes to any groups that do not spot one of these majestic creatures or the revenge-hungry captain on its trail. Jamie’s recommends visitors dress for the cold, as stiff sea breezes may play off the strong waves and frisky Charybdises in the tour’s path.

Reviews
Jamie’s Whaling Station was named the favourite charter company by Tofino Time readers. Four TripAdvisors give Jamie’s Whaling Station an average of 4.5 owl eyes.
