This relaxed, guided kayaking experience is all about enjoying Lake Brienz in an effortless way. You will paddle stable, easy-to-handle sit-on-top kayaks close to the shoreline near our base in Bönigen, staying near land and moving at a calm, comfortable pace under constant supervision. It is designed as a fun one-hour session rather than tour, with the focus on easy paddling, a bit of splashing around, and soaking up the scenery without the time commitment of a longer trip. It is a perfect choice if you want to try kayaking for the first time, get out on the water in a simple and safe format, and take home great photos as a souvenir of your time on the lake. Non-swimmers are welcome, as life jackets and swimming aids are provided, and we stay close to shore throughout. Families can also join, with children aged 5 and above welcome to participate; children aged 5 to 8 sit in a double kayak with an adult companion. Overall, the difficulty level is easy and beginner-friendly, using stable sit-on-top kayaks and a relaxed pace so you can feel comfortable, confident, and fully enjoy Lake Brienz even with no prior kayaking experience.

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Ben - it was a private tour (we got lucky since we booked through Get Your Guide as a “small group tour”) and Ben followed our lead in terms of how much kayaking we did vs just sitting on the lake in our Kayaks enjoying the peace, scenery and experience. He even brought tea and biscuits for the trip for the guests which was a nice touch. He took photos and videos of us the entire time so we didn’t have to worry about taking out our phones or anything. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience.
