"We took the Plantation Dinner tour. Not only was the ride fun, we learned about the history of the Kentucky River and travelled through two locks. The dinner was excellent. Everyone at Rockin’ River was so friendly and professional. The Plantation owners were warm and welcoming. Can’t wait to return and take the 2 day tour."
"we have done several trips on the river with Captain Paul and Captain Janet and each one is better than the last. I highly recommend this. Both Captain Paul and Captain Janet is very knowledgeable of the river to make each excursion exciting and fun. The river is beautiful. For the thrill of a lifetime check this out."
"It was a beautiful day! The knowledge of the area was quite interesting as presented by Capt. Paul and Steve! This was a wonderful trip and the Captain's Quarters Restaurant was very nice!"
"We took the two hour trip and would recommend it for everyone! The Captain was informative and entertaining. We were concerned about getting off and on the boat but it was a very easy process. We will definitely book another tour the next time we are in Madison."

Born in the heart of Kentucky, Ernie “Sticktight” Akins has had an infatuation for music since he started walking. The name Sticktight came from Country Music Superstar, John Michael Montgomery. When visiting John at his farm, a two year old Ernie Akins was exploring in the woods and emerged covered in sticktights. John found it humorous and said, “Boy, we’re going to have to start calling you, ‘Sticktight’”. Since then, “Sticktight” has stuck!
Sticktight grew up listening to radio and chart topping icons such as Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Charlie Daniels, Montgomery Gentry, and well as legendary Blues, Classic & Southern Rock Bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, George Thorogood, Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc. When performing, you can hear these influences blended into one giving Sticktight a sound of his own.

What they say
Incredible! Must see cave! Beautiful and pristine.
It was an excellent tour...
My boys (10 and 7) had never been in a cave before and this was the perfect first experience for them. They also did the gemstone sluicing which was really fun for them as well. All in all, a great day trip destination!
Great cave tour with excellent tour guides! Loved the underground river and boat ride! Would definitely recommend!
