- MelissaMay 30, 2023Great fun
We took our 2 dogs. They didn't like the whistle. But after getting on the captain was worried about if they were ok. We starting talking and he told everyone else about Bear and they all came over to see Bear. And at the end they asked if they were better.
- JamesNov 3, 2022A really fun trip with our dog
We brought Jasper the Adventure dog to take a trip with us on this riverboat. They are a dog friendly venue. A wonderful employee named Evy sold us our tickets. The trip was amazing. Jasper walked up front, watching the ducks, the water and wildlife along the bank of the river. Pictures from this event will end up on a future book. I highly recommend this activity for anyone and especially for those with well behaved dogs.
- Rescue Dog FamJul 25, 2022Great Cruise!
During Dog Bowl, there was a Canine Cruise specifically for dogs and their owners. The dogs liked being on the Cruise, and we got to hear all the history of Frankenmuth. The dogs had fun dog watching all the other dogs moving around. It was a fun time and I'm glad we went on the canine specific cruise.
The only thing I would change, I know hearing the boat horn is part of the fun but maybe cut the time down or something if theu ever do a Canine specific cruise again. A lot of dogs were very scared and it took a few of them a while to calm down.
- JessicaApr 8, 2021Unique experience for dogs and their owners!
The Bavarian Belle Riverboat is a unique experience for anyone visiting Frankenmuth! The amazing riverboat team provides a great service with a historical tour of Frankenmuth to narrate the river cruise, and often welcomes well-behaved dogs along for the ride. You can call ahead to reserve tickets or purchase them on-site at the ticket kiosk located at Frankenmuth River Place Shops.

We did not take our girls, but someone had brought their fur baby and we noticed that they were treated very well. Talked to the head captain. He said that they love dogs (and well behaved parents
- GarryMore than a year agoGreat Boat Ride for Dogs
We spent a very enjoyable hour on the boat with our Great Pyrenees Yuna. Everyone was very kind to her and she thoroughly enjoyed watching the world go by from the upper deck.
This is a family-run business and it shows in the friendliness of them all. We particularly enjoyed the narration which was both informative and witty. Definitely recommended.
- MyraMore than a year agoPleasant river tour
My dog was welcomed on the boat. We sat on the upper deck, above the paddles and there was a nice breeze much of the time. And there's a cover overhead so it was mostly shaded...very important since the temp was mid 80's. Interesting narration along the river, including the history of the paddle wheel boat and getting it to Michigan from, I think, New Orleans. Nice, family-run tour.
