Brienz lake + kayak, a great combination !

We had a fantastic afternoon with Ben who patiently teached us how to navigate and finally I made it. Thank you Ben for taking us on the tour on the wonderful turquoise Brienz lake, we couldn’t dream more in this idyllic place. Highly recommended !

Very well organized kayak tour on a beautiful morning with the relaxed tour guides Patrizia and Jolien. I always felt safe. The fun of kayaking was also not neglected. The time flew by. Highly recommended! Well suited for beginners like me.

Fantastic experience

Easy trip on the bus from central Interlaken to the Kayak venue on Lake Brienz. Check in process and greetings were excellent. Our Kayak tour guide Juan was brilliant and always happy to share knowledge and information about the Lake and surrounding areas. Being on the lake just a wonderful experience. The swim was great and invigorating!! Definitely recommend this experience and company.

Great summer tour

I got first time sea kayak experience with Hightide on their 3h summer kayak tour. Everything was great - top gear, nice guide and the tour was flawless. I could take a dip in the lake too. It's a bit on the expensive side though.

Turquoise water

What an amazing experience! Thanks Nica for being such an amazing guide. Enjoyed the whole kayak experience, met wonderful people very well worth it. Had a mini game on the water while kayaking which we won, and biscuits! And refreshing turquoise water. Dont think twice booking, wont miss it for the world.

An amazing tour of beautiful Lake Brienz!

It was a bucket list item for my husband and I to kayak on a turquoise Swiss lake, so when I came across HighTide’s tour of Lake Brienz it was a must for our trip to Switzerland. It did not disappoint! We had so much fun touring the beautiful lake and our guide, Ryan, was very informative and a good laugh! Couldn’t recommend the experience more and we’d definitely do it again if we find ourselves back in Switzerland!

Operator response

Thank you so much for making us a part of your bucket-list trip to Switzerland! We are absolutely thrilled that kayaking on Lake Brienz lived up to the dream. I'll gladly pass the shout-out along to Ryan—he'll be so happy to hear he kept you both informed and laughing throughout the tour. If you ever find yourselves back in our beautiful corner of the world, we'd love to welcome you out on the water again!
