I really enjoyed everything about this tour. Our guide, Ryan, was very clear in the instructions that he provided to make sure we all had an enjoyable and safe morning of kayaking on the lake. We were provided wetsuits, life jackets, an a locker to place our things. Sunscreen and shades were available for a small cost. The views on Lake Brienz were majestic. Seeing the clouds pass between the mountains was unreal. The waters were calm and we kayaked about 3 miles in about two hours. The tour was very easy to do for the other beginners who never kayaked before. I had some experience, so I had no issues. You can easily hop on a bus to get to shop in the morning. A bus arrived every 15 minutes. All in all, I recommend everyone who visits Interlaken to take this tour.

We had a fantastic time on the 3-hour kayak tour! The lake was absolutely beautiful—such a peaceful and scenic spot to paddle. Our guide, Ryan, was excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and did a great job explaining all the logistics and setup, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Felt completely comfortable on the water. If you're looking for a relaxing, outdoor experience, I recommend giving them a try. You won't be disappointed!

Kayaking with High Tide Kayak in Interlaken, Switzerland was the highlight of our trip, and our guide Jolene made it unforgettable! We booked the high tide kayak tour, and it was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and incredible scenery on the lake surrounded by the Swiss Alps. From the start, Jolene made us feel comfortable and confident on the water. She shared local insights, pointed out hidden spots along the shoreline, and kept the group safe while making sure we were having fun. Her energy and knowledge really made the kayaking tour stand out. The views of the mountains, crystal-clear water, and peaceful atmosphere were absolutely breathtaking—you can’t get the same perspective anywhere else in Interlaken. This was such a unique outdoor adventure and a must-do if you love water sports or want to see Switzerland in a different way. I highly recommend booking this guided kayak tour in Interlaken. Ask for Jolene—she’s an amazing guide and truly made the experience special. Whether you’re an experienced paddler or a beginner, this tour is the perfect way to enjoy the beauty of Lake Thun and the Swiss Alps.

An amazing experience! Worth every penny! We had great fun with Michael who was very knowledgeable about the area, was so lovely yo everyone. We played games in the water with balls, he gave us biscuits while we were on the water. The lake itself is unbelievable colour, it’s also nice to kayak around the cliffs. All equipment is provided! Highly recommend!

Awesome time on lake! Fun games, and not hurried. Beautiful sunny day. Make sure you take the regular 105 bus from Interlaken and not the 105 express!

We had an amazing time during our tour with Michal. He was super friendly, attentive and a master in kayaking to make everyone around him feel safe. He also gave us a recommendation of a dinner spot nearby that we went to afterwards and loved. Definitely a must do excursion in Interlaken with the best staff! Thank you again!

We had a wonderful experience with Michal earlier this summer! We were first time kayakers and Michal was so kind and patient teaching us. The views were incredible and we stopped for a walk and a look around a church at a viewing point half way through. It was a brilliant experience that we would recommend to anyone!

Has a wonderful time kayaking in Lake Brienz in the early morning when the waters were calm. Our guide Phoebe was excellent, friendly and professional giving commentary and explanations of the different towns and natural rock formations along the way. Would recommend!
