How to find Hightide Kayak School

This bus is free with your guest card and runs every 30 minutes from Interlaken Ost or West after which it's just a 5 minutes walk to the base.

This was such a fun excursion! We learned facts about Interlaken and the lake we were on during the activity which was neat. Only one of us our of four had experience kayaking and everyone loved it. It did get really windy once we made it across the lake and a van had to pick us up, but if you wanted to go the extra mile, they offered, for whoever wanted, to kayak back in the slightly windier conditions. I did and it was definitely worth it! I would definitely recommend this to other study abroad students or families!
