Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a great time on the Dixie Belle cruise on the Kentucky River. Captain Bruce was entertaining, knowledgeable and an excellent navigator! Also along for the ride was Becca who shared the history of the Shakers, the river and the civil war. Fun and educational at the same time!

On this particular day the weather was great and being on the riverboat was an awesome experience. Besides the fun the narrative was so much of an education of how the civil war affected the Shakers. It was also informative about how the Shakers used the river and the riverboat for their trading and how they lived.

Riverboat rides are generally pretty pricey. This one costs $10 a person. Tickets are sold only at the Shaker Village Welcome Center on the day of the cruise - so make sure you stop there first. (The Cruise is weather and river conditions permitting). Take a left out of the Shaker Village entrance and be watching for the sign on your right just a short way down the road. This turn leading to the riverboat is narrow and only one lane but that’s okay because the only traffic will be going down to the riverbank and then back out after. The ship sails at 2 and 4 for a 1 hour tour so there is time to get out before the next cruisers come down.

We had a marriage ceremony on the Dixie Bell 28 yrs ago. We still go for a ride every other year.
The captain gives you a history lesson of the area and river.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride and scenery.

Whenever I visit Shaker Village it includes a trip on the Dixie Belle. The river is stunning and so peaceful. It is a guided historic trip that takes you back in time.

You have to buy your tickets in advance before heading down to the dock. It is not a long trip but worth the time.

If you are up for the hike you can walk down to the dock. It is easy going down but quite the hike up the hill on your return.

Boat ride starts at 2:00, we arrived around 1:30. The 2 captain and tour guide was on boat, Chain was up and couldn’t enter the boat. The visitors center said be there at 1:30, let the chain down at 1:50. Could have let the chains down sooner. The staff on the boat wasn’t very friendly. Captains seemed to rather talk to tour guide than to guest. Cost was $10 each.

A very pleasant - and not too expensive - way to spend an hour or so. Witty and knowledgeable commentary on the river and the boat from the captain; excellent local Civil War information from the "crew". Really enjoyed this trip.

My son and I spent a relaxing afternoon enjoying a scenic drive to shaker village. Also an equally enjoyable ride aboard the Dixie Belle.
We had some problems finding the Belle. However once we visited the shaker Village information center it was made clear what to do. So I recommend visiting there first.
The Dixie Belle crew was very knowledgeable and friendly and open to questions. During our cruise we passed and stopped for photos of High Bridge, a water fall, palisades and one high flying bald eagle. Very smooth ride. The Dixie Belle is a double decker so if you have special needs or can’t handle the sun I’d recommend the lower level. As far as cost. It was very reasonable $10.00. It’s Hard to find a deal like that anywhere. They also have soft drinks and water for sale aboard the boat. I highly recommend this cruise. Have fun y’all

We had a guest from South Africa and decided to take him on the paddle boat ride at Shaker Landing. It was such a pleasant afternoon ... the scenery of course is beautiful, the ride was relaxing and the guides were great (informative and helpful). We had taken him to High Bridge the day before, so it was great to see the bridge from underneath!
