Good ride, lousy service from Trip Advisor

2.00While the boat ride was very good, the experience with TripAdvisor was awful! We were not provided with info as to where to access the boat. I called TA, they didn’t know the answer and never got back to us . We figured it out eventually with no help from them. When we got to the boat we were told that the tickets we had required a Swiss half fair card, which we did not have. The boat operator took pity on us and let us slide. When I inquired as to what the walk up cost would be, it was about 2/3 of what we had paid TA. I thought they made their money by getting discounts from the tour operators and providing additional services, or maybe slight margins, not 50%! They provided no service, maybe negative service in this instance. We will never use them again! If you want to do this boat ride, just walk up and pay a lot less!

2.00It’s very difficult to see both lakes in one day, so it may not be worth it to pay so much for a day pass for both lakes.
It is only possible to do...

3.00It is only possible to do one lake in a day. This is not hop on hop off because the next boat isn’t for 2 hours. We actually took a train to our first destination on lake Thun so we could explore before boarding the boat. If we had waited for the first boat that day it would be too late to do anything. We also took a train back because the last boat did not return to Interlaken it stopped a couple of ports prior. The mark up on the tickets is high. Suggest buying locally. Be aware that dining on the boat closes early. Be aware of seasonal time table changes.
Civitatis scam

1.00We did the Civitatis excursion of Walk for 1 day through lakes Thun and Brienz with possibility to go down and up in villages. He clarified that it is impossible to do it in 1 day because of the schedules of the boat and because of the time it takes to get from one place to another. It's a real scam. You can never do what they offer on the CIVITATIS tour. Don't do it! Take the ticket directly to the port

5.00I took the Blüemlisalp from Thun to Interlaken. A 2-hour leisurely ride on Lake Thun. I also had lunch on the outside deck. The risotto was very good. The staff very friendly.
Relaxing cruise in the most beautiful surroundings

5.00Well maintained ships with helpful staff. Interesting travel information about the speaker system. Lake Brienz enchanted us with its colour. The whole environment/landscape is decidedly beautiful. Just a modern, grey, newer building complex near Oberried has disturbed the harmonious overall picture.
Missed the boat

2.00We had planned to take the Hop-On Hop-Off cruise on Lake Thun and stop at several of the tourist attractions, but were unable to find the boat dock from which the boat departed out of Interlaken. The website and some of the reviews were also confusing. If you get off at one of the stops, the website doesn't state how long it will be before the next boat arrives (if there is another boat) and it doesn't say at what time the boats stop running. Some posts also say the boat does not make a complete circuit around the lake and you end up having to take the bus back to your origination point where your car is parked. A boat ride around Lake Thur sounds great, but the "devil is always in the details." Regardless, we had a great time driving the shoreline and were able to stop at multiple sites and stay as long as we wanted.
Lovely!

5.00It was a relaxing trip, full of wonderful vegetation, construction of houses and small towns while with your companion you can be outdoors enjoying the weather and inside you can eat and enjoy the Service.
Beautiful calm lake trip

4.00A beautiful lake trip that enables you to get at any stop to see and then go back to the next boat. The lake is excellent and very calm with no other boats.
Quite a pleasant experience.

4.00The water is beautiful, the mountains are majestic and the guides are fantastic. They stop and play a trumpet to be able to hear at the echo spot. We enjoyed a lunch there and headed back.
