Got to experience this event with Individuals from Cedar Lake Park Place! It was an amazing experience, both captins were very full of information and extremely understanding with our individuals and let us get on the boat early, so we wouldn't be rushed!

We recently went on the Rockin river boat tour and had a fantastic time! We couldn’t have asked for a friendlier or more informative captain. And as an added bonus, we saw 15 eagles on the trip. I would recommend this tour to anyone!!

We took the weekday 5 hour ride on an amazing October day. Captain Paul is not only a talented captain, he is a wonderful story teller. We stopped at various points on the way from Madison to Louisville and he regaled us with stories of river towns, river geography and it wouldn't be complete without river characters! He was always scanning the trees along the shore for bald eagles and we were fortunate to see nine along the trip. His love of the river comes through with every stop and every story. The restaurant was also fantastic!! A great selection of eats and a wonderful view of the river. I promised myself this would not be my last trip!!

Wow!! So fun and so unexpected. We have lived in Southern Indiana for many years and had no idea that there was a fun, educational and enjoyable boat tour right up the river! We took a ride up to Madison where we got on the jet boat. Then we took a leisurely drive down the Ohio river to Captains Quarters where we had a really really yummy lunch. Then back on the boat up to Madison. Along the way Kaptain Paul told us so many things, and showed us bald eagles, blue, herons, egrets, mansions that boat captains don’t live in. Ha ha ha it was so fun and enjoyable. He made it entertaining the whole way. I especially enjoyed the information about Harlan Hubbard and his home there on the river. I recommend you take some friends and go on one of his jet boat tours

Great time on the boat, not too hot not too cold. The tour was delayed slightly due to fog, and a call would have been nice to notify us of the change so we could panic less but it worked out beneficially anyhow. The local facts were unique and interesting. We got a sighting of some bald eagles and the boating itself was quite fun.
