Why Stand Up Paddle Kentucky?
A stand-up paddleboard, or SUP, looks a bit like a surfboard that you power using a long paddle. It can be used for flatwater lake paddles, river trips, yoga, and more. Stand-up paddleboarding is beginner-friendly and challenging at the same time. You can quickly learn how to keep your balance, master, a few strokes, and steer like a pro. Get ready to feel the thrill of going beyond your comfort zone!
As a family-run business, we can offer you personalized service and unforgettable experiences. We love adventure. We love Kentucky. We love to travel. We started this company to share amazing places with amazing people.
Stand Up Paddle Kentucky takes you on exciting adventures to beautiful places—from Kentucky to Mexico and beyond. Any adventure you choose involves stand-up paddleboarding, but our weekend and international adventures include many other exciting activities to heighten your experience. Trips are beginner-friendly but empowering. You are sure to leave with wonderful memories, as we encourage you to gather stories—not stuff—along this journey.
You’ll be accompanied by an experienced guide who has all the required certifications and safety training to prove they know their stuff. They’re here to provide you with the best experience possible. They know when to push, when to pull, and when to let you take a break.
Amazing trip! Plenty of practice time before going around the tour. Great bits of information on history. Felt very safe and was well organized! Excellent way to spend a day of social distancing out doing something fun!
– Sabrina J. | TripadvisorWe did the cave paddle boarding adventure and it was an awesome time. The guides were super patient and extremely knowledgeable! It was such a fun experience being in a cave in the middle of summer. If you are close I would highly recommend any adventure from Sup Kentucky! We will be back :)
– EmilyStCyr1968 | TripadvisorI absolutely loved this adventure. Heather, Jordan, and Jared were the best. They took the time to tell us about the history of the cave and were ready to help if anyone needed any help with their Paddleboard. I am booking another adventure with them. If you ever get a chance to do this, I would highly recommend this excursion!!!!
– Mari A. | TripadvisorFirst of all, thank you, SUP Kentucky, for the excellent directions to the start location! We got there easily. Everyone involved also did a thorough job in outfitting us and explaining all the nuances of SUP. We really felt like we were prepared for anything, and both guides were great encouragers. It's very cool inside, so I'd recommend bringing long sleeves for the adventure.
– Dee W. | TripadvisorThis was our first time paddleboarding and it was awesome! It was a laid back experience. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable about the area and history. This was absolutely am an experience that I would recommend to everyone. We cant wait to go back!
