Tour description
Discover the beauty of Lake Brienz from a breathtaking perspective! In the midst of a fantastic mountain panorama, you will experience the feeling of gliding in a kayak through this magical turquoise lake.
We will start our tour at the Beach and Hightide base in Bönigen. We will paddle to the north shore and discover the beautiful cliffs, the 12th century Ringgenberg castle and the hidden beaches along the lake before crossing the lake and the river of the LĂŒtschine.
Our evening tours are starting in an interesting time of a day where the lake calms down again and the sun starts to set. There’s always a special calming atmosphere in the evening, perfect for photos and a relaxing way to end the day. The evening tour follows the same itinerary as our half day tours and are available on request.
You can join us on a Summer Tour from May until October and on a Winter Tour from November until April.

Frequently asked questions
I have never been in a kayak before, can I still take part?
Our tours are well suited for beginners and non-swimmers. Prior experience is not necessary. You must be at least 12 years old to take part in the tour. We are happy to organize a private tour for younger participants or we recommend our family session for a more games and splashing orientated session.
Do the tours also take place in bad weather?
Kayaking is fun in any weather. You will be surprised how nice it is to kayak in rain or snow. Nature is all the more dramatic and the drops of water on the lake make the experience even more unique. The expectations are often lower and, in the end, all the more positive. Trust us, it’s still going to be great.
During thunderstorms or very strong winds we may have to cancel or delay tours for safety reasons.
What do I need to bring?
Swimsuit and towel
T-shirt short or long (no cotton, if possible)
Shorts
Sport sandals / water shoes / flipflops or Crocs
Sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses, hat)
Water bottle
Are there parking spaces nearby?
Yes, there is public parking directly in front of the base and also on Parkstrasse in Bönigen with a few minutes’ walk to the base. Both public parking areas are payable.
What happens if I have a medical condition?
Please write us an email to info@hightide.ch explaining your medical condition and which tour /course and date you would like to book.
What if the trip I want is sold out?
If it’s not possible to find a seat on one of our guided kayak tours, you can always rent and explore the lake on your own. The only condition is that you need to be able to swim. Visit our rental page for more details here.
