Very nice relaxing trip. Manu was very personable, explained everything very well and told interesting information.
Vielen Dank für das wertvolle Feedback! Wir werden das an Manu weiterleiten! Schön, dass ihr dabei wart.
Incredible experience I would recommend to anyone visiting. The views of the mountains were breathtaking and the guide was a true professional. Overall we were out on the lake for about 3 hours but I wish we could’ve stayed out there all day. It is very relaxed and you have the freedom to basically paddle wherever you want. The guide also had a go pro and was taking pictures for everyone throughout.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the freedom on the lake and those beautiful mountain views. I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to our guide. Hope to see you out on the water again!
Excellent activity, excellent guide, I really loved my experience!
Thanks for taking the time! This means a lot to us!
GOur tour Guide Sona was amazing. She was very nice and funny. Sona gave us great tips and tricks for kayaking and told us about the river and the different mountains. Sona took the time throughout the tour to ask us questions about ourselves to get to know us better which was very nice. The tour was amazing and the water and views were breathtaking. The water was so clear and turquoise. Would highly recommend this tour to people that are looking for something fun to do while in Switzerland.
We are totally happy you had such a blast out on the water and we’re so glad you enjoyed Sonas mix of 'pro' kayaking tips and her classic sense of humor. There is truly nothing like that turquoise water and those mountain views to make you feel the Swiss magic. We’re so hyped that you’d recommend us to other adventure-seekers. That means a lot to us! 🤘🛶
Sona 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.
We are absolutely stoked reading this! Thank you for the 1000% recommendation! Sona is a total legend, and we’re so glad she helped those pre-tour nerves melt away. There’s something extra special about a private adventure—it really lets you set the pace and soak in the lake vibes. We’re happy to hear you’re loving the photos, as well! 😊
The 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!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the winter magic of Lake Brienz. There is truly nothing like the contrast of the turquoise water against those snow-capped peaks! I’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Patrizia. Making sure that everyone—from the nervous beginners to the seasoned paddlers—feels confident and has a blast is very important for us. We’re so glad the dry suit 'ritual' and the snack break added to the experience. 🙏
I had the best winter kayak! It was a gorgeous day out and Patrizia the tour guide is amazing and very nice. The dry suit kept me very warm and dry. I recommend 10/10!!
A perfect day on the water! We’re thrilled Patrizia took such good care of you and that you stayed warm and dry throughout. Thanks for the recommendation—we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
It was an indescribable great experience, which I could have experienced together with my father on the beautiful Lake Brienz. This winter kayak tour was very much enjoyed by me as well as my father.
Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback! Es freut uns riesig, dass du dieses besondere Erlebnis gemeinsam mit deinem Vater bei uns auf dem Brienzersee genießen konntest. Schön, dass ihr beide so eine gute Zeit hattet – hoffentlich bis bald wieder auf dem Wasser!
So much fun great activity to see the mountains and lake in Interlaken
