Courtney's originally from the East Coast, but has found a charming new home in Indiana. She loves checking out local music, reading, and trying new food. She's also a little too addicted to coffee and has a Maine Coon cat she answers to.
Once the weather starts to warm, the outdoor activities to enjoy in the Hoosier state are seemingly endless. When it comes to boat rides, you can enjoy scenic tours to epic lakeside adventures. In fact, there’s even a pretty non-traditional ferry boat adventure you can take in southern Indiana that’s simply unforgettable.
Located along the charming river banks of Madison, Indiana is Rockin Thunder, a jet boat company offering wild or scenic rides. Their unique jet boat ferries can take you on unforgettable scenic adventures you'll never forget.
Enjoy a 40-mile scenic tour of the Ohio River and Kentucky River as you listen to the captain tell stories, point out historic sites, and take in wildlife like bald eagles and deer along the way.
If you're looking for a unique way to pop into Louisville, KY, book a lunch excursion to explore the gorgeous Ohio River and stop for lunch at Kentucky's Captain's Quarter's Riverside Grille, before heading back for a scenic ride home.
Rockin Thunder also offers a 90-mile Sunday dinner experience, where you'll explore the river and visit a historic plantation in Kentucky for an amazing home cooked dinner. This trip is perfect for history lovers. You'll also find a variety of other rides available during the season.
Each boat ride assures you'll have your own individual seating during your trip. Children are welcome to enjoy these tours, but must be at least 5 years or older.
Experience southern Indiana like you never have before and journey southward to visit cool spots in Kentucky when you book a tour from Rockin Thunder Jet Boat Rides. Tours begin in mid-May, but check their website for updates.
