Incredible experience

5.00This was an incredible tour! I did the 9.15 am time slot, and the lake was empty except for us and one other group. Juan was an incredible guide! This is absolutely worth the price, and I would definitely do it again next time I’m in the area. Amazing views, glassy waters, and the pictures included in the package were the cherry on top! 10/10 would recommend :)
Perfect Winter Afternoon Around Brienz

5.00Fantastic experience seeing Lake Brienz with Dave and Davide, 2 excellent guides, and we even had a chance to go up hiking an old castle, sipping hot tea on a cold winter afternoon. It was perfect for beginners like my wife and me. And no, we didn't fall into the cold water at all; in fact, we were so warm from all the paddling :) Highly recommended!

5.00This was well worth the price of admission. Our tour guide was so kind and made the experience so easy to follow. I had never kayaked before and with their guidance I felt like a pro. The views cannot be beat. It was an unforgettable experience. If you are worried about the cold, the wet suits they provide kept us very warm (I actually got warm at one point). Such a wonderful day and would absolutely do it again.
12/10 - Fantastic Experience

5.00Fog or sunshine this was an incredible experience and just a wonderful time! Dave and Davide were incredible guides. With their equipment kayaking a few days before Christmas was warmer than you would expect! Great bit of exercise in the fresh air.
Must do!

5.00My husband and I went on a tour Christmas morning and had an amazing time! Our tour guide Davide took us to cool spots in and around the lake and was full of fun facts about the area! We spent about two hours exploring and about an hour split between the front and back end of the tour to put on/take off the gear. Everyone at the office was super friendly and gave us tips for doing other things around town. I also really appreciated that the photos and videos were included with the admission fee. Highly recommend this experience!
Great tour

5.00My 18 y/o daughter, 21 y/o son and I took the tour with Stefania. It was great! We were super warm and dry in the neoprene suit and the lake was clear, clean and gorgeous. We stopped and went to visit a church across the lake which was very cool. The scenery was amazing and it was a great activity for us. Thank you!
Beautiful kayak on the lake in Interlaken.

4.00Our guide David deserves a 10 out of 10, he was fantastic. We really loved being the only ones on the lake and the suits really kept us warm and dry. I fell in the water trying to get into my kayak but still stayed dry. Only thing we didn’t love was having to help get the kayaks down of the racks and put them up again, I was worried about hurting our backs. It would also have been nice to be greeted with a warm drink on our return.
Perfect winter experience in Interlaken

5.00Thank you for the invite! We had a wonderful tour with our great guides Sona and Davide. The views, the paddeling, the warm suits and "homemade" ;) tea and cookies made for a great afternoon trip on the lake.
