When people say someone laughed all the way to the bank, that probably has never really happened. Laughing for such extended periods of time is not only debilitating but it does cause abdominal pain. However, there are activities besides making obscene amounts of cash that do make people happy. And on the International Day of Happiness, perhaps you should consider taking part in one of these fun activities.
1) Paradise Watersports
There cannot possibly be too many other fun water activities other than snorkeling near gentle water creatures, parasailing, or cruising. Paradise Watersports offers a variety of tours for the water-lover in everyone. One option could be a seasonal whale watching cruise–which is in season now until April 15- If you don’t see whale during single fluke (a lobe of the whale’s tail, for those who are not as familiar with these esoteric terms), then a second trip will be free of charge.
A parasailing cruise that takes participants up to 1,000 feet in the sky in a double or triple-seated parasail offers tours for people and their children, ages 3 and up.
For those who are not fond of heights, a turtle snorkeling package takes people into the depths of the ocean to swim within a safe (for the turtle) range to view the majestic creatures.
Then, for the partygoers, a firework party cruise every Friday takes people out to sea to view the Hilton fireworks from a different vantage point which, with the help of a little of the two free Mai Tais, will certainly bring a smile to your face.
