Kayaking with a severely disabled daughter
Our daughter is severely disabled. She can neither sit up nor hold her head up. Nevertheless, Hightide Kayak School made a wonderful excursion on the lake possible for our family. Our family was equipped with wetsuits, rain jackets, water shoes, life jackets, paddles, and fun water balls. By the way, the kayak school has a separate room with an electric changing table, everything is wheelchair accessible, and the staff is friendly, understanding, and accommodating! Our daughter sat right in front on a beanbag, supported by inflated cushions very comfortably in the front of the boat, and I rowed. My husband and son were in a separate boat, and the instructor was also in a separate boat. We set off with three boats. Our instructor told us something about Lake Brienz and the geographical features, showed us cool splashing techniques with the paddle, played with us with water balls, and taught us proper rowing techniques along the way. The excursion was very successful, and we had a great time. Thanks.

Dreamy kayak experience on Lake Brienz
Beautiful, relaxed, and professionally guided – an all-around successful excursion! Only the meeting point could be described more clearly; a photo of the shop would be helpful, as we initially waited by the kayaks around the corner.
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für die schöne Rückmeldung! Es freut uns sehr, dass euch die Kajaktour auf dem Brienzersee so gut gefallen hat. Danke auch für den Hinweis zum Treffpunkt. In unserer E-Mail vor der Tour verlinken wir auf unsere Seite «So findest du uns», auf der eine genaue Wegbeschreibung sowie ein Foto des Eingangs zu finden sind. Wir schauen uns aber gerne nochmals an, ob wir den Treffpunkt zusätzlich noch klarer hervorheben können, damit niemand versehentlich bei den Kajaks um die Ecke wartet. Vielen Dank fürs Paddeln mit uns und hoffentlich bis zum nächsten Mal!

Fab 1.5 hour kayak experience on Lake Brienz
We booked the 1.5 hour experience. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 tweenagers). Everything was straightforward when we arrived - good changing rooms and lockers. Our guide/instructor was Ben. He was fab: safety conscious but great fun. He worked around what we wanted to do and worked some games and travelling into the session. He was full of lots of info and also understanding of the different needs in the group. He took some lovely photos and sent them to us immediately afterwards. Thank you Hightide and Ben!

Lots of fun
A great activity for four friends and family to enjoy. All had previous experience of kayaking and after brief training we all explored the area and played a few daft water games in the sunshine. Big smiles on all the teens faces (and the older one too!).

Great relaxed time at the lake
No experience needed. Michal provided guidance and interesting information about the lake. Great experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the great review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful experience on the lake. It’s awesome to know that Michal’s guidance and local insights made the trip so enjoyable and accessible. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to him! Thanks again for joining us!

Relaxed Kayak Experience on Lake Brienz: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Interlaken.
How much does Relaxed Kayak Experience on Lake Brienz cost?
+
Prices start at $111 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Interlaken usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Relaxed Kayak Experience on Lake Brienz take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Interlaken is not rushed.
Is Relaxed Kayak Experience on Lake Brienz worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Interlaken, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Relaxed Kayak Experience on Lake Brienz?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Relaxed Kayak Experience on Lake Brienz suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Relaxed Kayak Experience on Lake Brienz?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Interlaken can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Interlaken and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Relaxed Kayak Experience on Lake Brienz start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Interlaken within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Interlaken?
+
On Outty we rank every Interlaken experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tandem Paragliding Experience from Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen and Trummelbach Waterfalls E-bike Tour Swiss Picnic, Mürren: Paragliding over the Lauterbrunnen Valley. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Interlaken?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Interlaken?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
