Incredible and scenic kayak experience
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.

Kayaking
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.

Sona, the best guide ever.
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.

Most beautiful kayak location ever!
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!
