What you can expect
Leave the city behind and dive into one of Switzerland’s favorite summer traditions – floating the Aare River like a local.
Your private day trip starts in Zurich, where your guide picks you up in a comfortable van and drives with you to Bern. From there, you’ll hop on a scenic train ride together to Thun – the charming alpine town where your river adventure begins.
At the riverbank, your guide prepares everything for you: high-quality inflatable boats, paddles, life jackets, and dry bags. No setup needed – just step in and enjoy. The current carries you effortlessly along the crystal-clear Aare River, past lush landscapes, charming villages, and views of the Bernese Alps. Swim alongside the boat, relax in the sun, and soak in the rhythm of Swiss summer life.
The float ends at the famous Marzili riverside area in Bern. After drying off, you’ll head back to Zurich together in the van – refreshed, relaxed, and full of unforgettable memories. Everything’s included: transfers, train ride, equipment, and full-day guidance. Perfect for couples, families, and groups wanting a true Swiss summer experience – stress-free and full of fun.
