5.00This kayak tour was incredible from start to finish. Our guide Ryan was amazing in instructing us, the dry suits made kayaking in freezing cold water very comfortable, and the overall experience was pure fun. Cannot recommend this enough -- lake water is as turquoise as the pictures.

5.00Had an amazing kayaking experience on Lake Brienz with Hightide! Our guide, Jolien, made everything feel smooth and relaxed—even with our previous kayaking experience, this felt extra special. The tea-and-cookie break in the middle of the lake, surrounded by the Alps, was pure magic. Great vibes, not rushed at all, and finished right on time with big smiles. Highly recommend—especially if you get Jolien as your guide!
Wonderful tour

5.00What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon in Interlaken. The sun was out and the guide Ryan was interactive and fun. Small group which was perfect. The gear we used was high quality and in great shape. Loved that Ryan took pictures for you so you don’t have to bring your phone. Hightide give you these at no extra charge. Lake Brienz has the most incredible water color. Highly recommended
Something everyone should experience.

5.00Went kayaking with my spouse on the lake and got lucky with the beautiful sunny weather along with the having the lake all to ourselves. The kayaking experience itself was amazing but our guide Jolien was the real gem. Had the time of our lives, would recommend everybody to try it.
