There are countless adventures to be had in Kentucky. While there are many expert-level activities, that doesn’t mean that the casual adventurers out there have to miss out on the outdoor fun. If you are looking for a way to experience the natural wonders of the Bluegrass State, but in a calmer atmosphere, consider a Kentucky cave boat tour with The Gorge Underground. Located in Red River Gorge, this unique kayak or pontoon boat tour takes you beneath the gorge and shows you the area like never before - and it’s definitely a bucket list-worthy adventure for everyone. Tours of the caves in Kentucky are popular in other areas of the state, but the Red River Gorge underground cave boat tour is also a must.
The Gorge Underground is located in the heart of Red River Gorge - the ultimate adventure destination in Kentucky. As its name would suggest, you can experience a number of thrills at this park, but they also offer an exciting excursion that will stir your adventurous spirit… without being a heart-stopping ride.
The park offers an hour-long boat tour that takes you beneath the gorge and into a scenic cave. They have a few different tour options, so almost all ages and abilities can take part in the adventure.
If you have children with your group (they must weigh at least 40 pounds) or just want to sit back and relax, book a tour on the park's pontoon boat. Up to 20 people can ride into the cave and get a unique perspective of the gorge.
The guides on all of the tours are incredibly knowledgeable and will make sure you have an enjoyable experience. Guests continue to leave rave reviews of the tours and highly recommend this one-of-a-kind excursion.
