SUP Kentucky is a traveling adventure company that takes locals and visitors around the state to explore aboard a stand-up paddleboard. Many of their outings are held throughout the warmer months at places like Grayson Lake, shown below, but their cavern tours are held year-round.
The cavern glow tours in Red River Gorge are truly unique and appropriate for all levels of adventurers - even beginners! You can choose to stand-up paddleboard or kayak in a hybrid board and enjoy exploring the caverns underneath the Gorge.
Choose from a single or tandem kayak and feel as if you're floating right in the water, yet you'll magically stay dry! The cave stays consistently in the 50s all year long, so this adventure is even available in the winter. (Don't worry; it's very rare for someone to fall in the water!)
Ages 8 and up can be in their own kayak and ages 3-7 can ride with an adult. Your guides will provide everything you need for the float; you'll just need to be dressed appropriately.
If you're not thrilled about the idea of kayaking through a cave, be sure to check out the other excursions offered around Kentucky. Paddling around Cumberland Falls - there's even a Moonbow tour! - is another bucket list-worthy adventure.
SUP Kentucky offers many ways to explore our state by water and now their crystal clear kayak tour in Kentucky is bound to become a local favorite. Have you always wanted to tour in a clear kayak? Does this look like a fun adventure to you? Let us know in the comments!
