Imagine this:
Your “office” is a 72-acre nature park. Your commute involves walking trails. And your job? Guiding visitors through Kentucky’s only underground boat tour in a natural cavern.
At Lost River Cave, we’re not just looking for tour guides; we’re looking for storytellers, hosts, and people who know how to make an experience memorable.
This is one of those jobs where:
Every day is a little different
You meet people from all over
And yes… you get to drive a boat in a cave
(And no, you don’t need boating experience. We’ll teach you.)
What You'll Be Doing
Lead guided boat tours through the cave
Share stories about the cave’s history, geology, and ecosystem
Create a fun, engaging, and welcoming experience for every guest
Answer questions like “Wait… this is real?” at least once per tour
Work both on the water and around the park as part of the guest experience team
No Experience? No Problem!
Never driven a boat before? You’re in good company.
We provide full training, including:
Boat operation
Safety procedures
Tour content and storytelling
If you’re comfortable talking to people and willing to learn, we’ll take care of the rest.
What We're Looking For
You might be a great fit if you:
Enjoy talking to people (or want to get better at it)
Bring positive energy and reliability
Like being outside and staying active
Can think on your feet and keep a group engaged
Are available for weekends and seasonal scheduling
Bonus points if you:
Love nature, history, or storytelling
Have customer service or public speaking experience
Why This Job is Different
CoolWorks is all about jobs in memorable places, and this is one of them.
At Lost River Cave, you’re not just working a shift. You’re:
Helping people experience something they’ve never done before
Spending your days outdoors instead of behind a desk
Part of a team that values connection, curiosity, and community
It’s the kind of job people talk about long after the season ends.
Perks
Work in a beautiful outdoor setting
Learn new skills (including boat operation!)
Meet people from across the country (and beyond)
Be part of a fun, supportive team
Spend your days somewhere people choose to visit
Location
Bowling Green, Kentucky
A vibrant college town with ample housing opportunities, easy access to Nashville, outdoor recreation, and plenty to explore on your days off.
How to Apply
If you’re looking for something a little different and a lot more fun, we’d love to meet you.
