We had such a nice time at SUP Kentucky. Everyone was really helpful and friendly. Our tour guides were hysterical. We had Kyle and Dusty. They really worked hard to make our experience great. We're thankful that we had them for our tour!

Calling all outdoor enthusiasts! This unforgettable experience should be on your bucket list. Imagine paddling through a massive flooded limestone mine with breathtakingly clear water, teeming with vibrant rainbow trout.Our awesome guides, Kyle, Josh, and Ray, made the whole trip even more enjoyable. The tour boasts a relaxed pace, allowing you to soak in the scenery and navigate the calm waters with ease. Kayaking expertise isn't necessary in this tranquil environment.Pro tip: Rent the neoprene socks for just $2! The temperature inside the mine dips, and these will keep your toes toasty. Trust us, it's worth it!

I can't just come to Kentucky and not try this - i've always wanted to explore this cave; unfortunately self guided was all booked so i took option for guided tour at 8pm (last showing).I had a great group - 5 seniors from Florida, a cute couple, and then it was ME. We called everyone by their states they were from. Lol!The staff was awesome and very patient with everyone - there were only about 3 people who were experienced at kayaking, so the "safety" person had to ensure to keep the others on track. I thought it was adorable because he had to prevent the seniors from running into the walls. At the end - everyone had such a great time. #bucketlistWould i do this again - YES! (Definitely will be doing self guided so i can explore the cave solo for 2hrs)Happy exploring!!!

We were lucky to get the last two spots for a 9 am tour the day before. I appreciated that my husband was able to be in a kayak and I was able to get on a SUP. We did the deluxe crystal clear tour with the option to purchase a photo package for $5. There were nine of us on the tour. Our tour guide was Ray and the photographer was Patrick. I was the only one on a SUP so I tended to stay near the back but between Ray's southern accent and the echo in the cave, I wasn't able to hear much of what he said but I did enjoy paddling underground with no current - it was very easy. The photo package included one individual photo of each of us and one of the two of us outside the cave plus other group shots. Because it was dark in the cave, most of these photos did not come out that well but $5 was very reasonable. This was a unique and fun experience.

I checked off a bucket list item today at Gorge Underground! We had been wanting to do the crystal clear kayaks for quite a while and are so glad we finally got down to do it.We live north of Cincinnati, OH so were able to drive the 350 mile round trip in one day, which was nice. We weren't sure how to time the trip, since we have an ev that we had to charge on the way. So, we ended up getting there an hour early and they kindly suggested we go ahead and join the group that was getting ready to go right then.My husband and I always get tandem kayaks so I was very pleased that they had them available in the clear ones. Our guide did a great job...maybe too many corny jokes, but that's probably what he's taught to do.Having some professional photos to buy at the end was a nice touch.Would highly recommend spending a few hours kayaking here!

What a unique experience! You're kayaking in an old limestone mine. We opted for the clear bottom kayaks. Jacob, the guide, was fun and kept us entertained. The rainbow trout were huge and made it extra fun. Pro tip: spend the $2 for the neoprene socks rental. My feet were nice and warm and my wife's were wet and cold.

People were nice. Acoustics in the mine were difficult. If the group was too spread out it was hard to hear. Also, around a corner or with another group nearby. Perhaps speakers at the stopping points? Asking the group if they can hear and not asking for a thumbs up from the people in the back is worthless when people in the middle say yes and the people in the back don't even hear the question.That aside, we did very much enjoy the experience. The lighting in the crystal kayaks is very pretty and the reflections off the cave walls. It is a very pleasant, easy paddle with no currents. The water is so clear and clean.

We did the clear bottom kayak through the mine and it was spectacular! Very chilly, even on a 90-degree day. Buy the $2 socks. Trust me on that. All the photos look bright, but it was sufficiently dark and cool. Mason was our guide and he was fun and informative.I highly recommend!

Josh and Mazie were absolutely amazing guides. We appreciated that they knew the history and had all the answers to every question. Our group of 6 had an amazing time-we will definitely be back! Highly recommend.

This place was freaking awesome! We did the glass kayak tour in the cave at night. We had the 9:00 PM reservation on October 17th, 2024. Our tour guides, Andrew and Zack were awesome! They were super nice, they told us a lot about the history of the mine and the various areas and things in it! There were also fish in the water, and some of them swam under my boat! The boats also had LED lights where they would change the color based on what you requested! This place was awesome! I would love to come back!
