Sona, the best guide ever.

5.00Sona was my guide and oh my gosh! I had the absolute best time! I was a little nervous because I was alone but her and I had such a fun time! Even on private tours she’s just Incredible! Had such a blast! We were on the lake for about 2-2.5 hours which was perfect and the pictures she took, I actually look good in! 1000% worth the price. Best for adventure.
Most beautiful kayak location ever!

5.00The 3 hour session with 1 hour of prep/training/setup and 2 hours on the water was fantastic! The selection of gear & detailed instruction on getting in the dry suit was helpful. The distance on the lake was not very far - hugged the shore and a little time on the opposite side plus a pause for a snack. But it was perfect! We had varying skill levels and it was important for all to have a safe and good time! Patrizia gave extra assistance to one of our friends who had less experience. And she let those with more experience paddle a little away as long as we were in earshot. Getting to kayak and gaze at beautiful snow capped mountains was amazing!
Amazing Experience

5.00Gorgeous setting, knowledgeable and friendly staff, excellent equipment (dry suits, kayaks, etc.). My guide was Soňa, who was fantastic — she knew so much about the lake and surrounding area, took great photos, and even brought us cookies and tea to enjoy midway through the kayaking session! Overall, top-tier experience, would recommend!
Manu ROCKS!

5.00We had such an amazing time winter kayaking on Lake Brienz with Hightide Kayak School. The scenery was unreal turquoise water, snowy mountains, and total peace out on the lake. Also you were not cold at all in the dry suits! Manu was the best guide. He made us feel completely safe and comfortable, kept the vibe fun and relaxed, and knew all the best spots for views and photos. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. If you’re in Interlaken, definitely book this and ask for Manu if you can. Such a cool, unforgettable experience and the best way to see the lake!
Amazing experience
