What you can expect
Experience Zurich like a true local on this private Limmat River floating tour – one of the city’s most beloved summer traditions. This half-day adventure combines nature, fun, and total relaxation, offering a unique perspective of Zurich you won’t find on any sightseeing bus.
Meet your private guide at Wipkingerplatz, just minutes from the city center. Everything will be ready for you: high-quality inflatable boat, life vests, paddles, and drybags – no setup needed. After a quick safety briefing, it's time to hit the water.
Drift along the crystal-clear Limmat River, passing sunbathing locals, green riverbanks, and urban views blending with nature. Swim, snap photos, or simply lay back and enjoy the ride – you set the pace. Floating time is around 2 to 3 hours, depending on your vibe and how often you stop.
The journey ends in Dietikon, where your guide takes care of all gear. From there, enjoy a smooth ride back to Zurich's main station. It’s the perfect way to slow down, cool off, and live Zurich like you truly belong.
