Welcome aboard the Tennessee Aquarium
River Gorge Explorer! This 70 passenger high-speed
catamaran is the first of its kind in the Southeast.
Aquarium visitors can extend their “mountains
to the sea” adventure by cruising into
the Tennessee River Gorge aboard this sleek vessel.
An Aquarium naturalist will lead you into this protected
habitat, pointing out wildlife and historic points
of interest along the way.
Shake off the winter chill and soak up the sun from the Explorer’s topside observation deck. Spring is unfolding in Tennessee’s Grand Canyon right now. Migratory songbirds and other animals can be seen against a backdrop that’s bursting with color. Book your seats aboard the River Gorge Explorer and experience the beauty of the season now that warmer, longer days are here.
