4 Tips for Staying Warm on a Kentucky River Tour This Winter

Winter is no reason to stay indoors, especially when you can enjoy the scenic beauty of river tours in Kentucky. If you're itching for outdoor activities in Kentucky that are both relaxing and exhilarating, a winter boat ride on the Bourbon Belle is the perfect escape.

Here are four tips to ensure you stay comfortable during your winter riverboat tour:

1. Dress in Layers

Start with thermal base layers, add a sweater, and top it off with a windproof coat. Don't forget a hat, scarf, and gloves to keep you cozy. If you are outside, layers will provide the necessary insulation for you to appreciate the river's full beauty.

2. Pack Warm Beverages

There's nothing quite as enjoyable as sipping hot cocoa or coffee while cruising along the river. Bring your favorite warm beverage in a thermos to enjoy as you take in the serene surroundings. Kentucky River Tours allows you to bring drinks, so why not embrace the spirit of the season?

3. Bring Blankets and Hand Warmers

Packing a warm blanket can make all the difference when enjoying the outdoor seating areas. Tuck it around your lap as you marvel at the scenery, or share one with a friend for added coziness. Hand warmers are another essential—they are perfect for keeping you warm and toasty on your river tour.

4. Choose a Boat Tour with Indoor Seating

Our boat, the Bourbon Belle, offers indoor seating for those who prefer more shelter from the elements. This means you can enjoy the river tours comfortably without missing the incredible views.
