Kayak Tour of the Turquoise Lake Brienz

Truly unique guided kayaking tour on the beautiful Lake Brienz. Fit for explorers of all skill levels, this outing features the towering cliffs, forested hillsides, and calm waters that make Interlaken one of the most picturesque settings around. The session lasts 3 hours of which we spent around 2 hours on the water.  What’s included: experienced sea kayak coach, small group sizes (from 2-6), top quality sea kayaks and paddles, as well as a digital photo package.

There's something special about seeing the Bernese Oberland from the water. Launching from Hightide's base in Bönigen, you'll paddle across the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz with the Alps filling the horizon in every direction — the kind of view that's hard to put into words until you're actually in it. The route follows the north shore, where sunbaked cliffs rise straight from the water, a 12th-century castle sits perched above Ringgenberg, and quiet little beaches break up the shoreline. We keep the pace relaxed with plenty of stops for photos, short rests, and just taking it all in. You'll spend around two hours on the water in total. Evening tours run the same route, but there's a different quality to it when the lake goes glassy and the sun starts dropping behind the hills above Interlaken. It's become a favourite for people looking for a calm, unhurried end to the day. No experience needed; this is a gentle, guided outing that works just as well for first-timers as it does for seasoned paddlers. Non-swimmers are welcome too. If you're short on time, there's also a 1.5-hour taster option to sample the lake.
