Good ride bit short on time.
I liked the experience it is definitely a good place to start a rafting adventure. The guides were the best, with absolutely top class customer service from start to finish. The ride itself was a bit short, therefore I would not go a second time value for money is the trip's weakness.

Great family rafting trip!
We went rafting down the Simme with Benji a couple of days ago. A mother and son trip and we loved it. Benji was really knowledgeable and friendly, we shared the raft with a great group and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to suggest booking adventures with this company (we also did the jet boat ride) and when we come back to Switzerland we will use them again!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad you both had a great time rafting with Benji. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to him. Thanks for your recommendation, and we can't wait to welcome you back for your next adventure in Switzerland!

Family rafting on the Lütschine.
Everything went smoothly and everyone had a lot of fun. The children were thrilled. The river offered some easily navigable rapids, and the swim in Lake Brienz was refreshing. Our guide David was excellent and engaged.

Brilliant activities with a brilliant company
An absolutely brilliant experience. Just the right mix of thrills and fun for a family with three teens. Our guide Hudson was lovely, reassuring and very knowledgable about the river. The swim in Lake Brienz at the end was magical.
We also did the High Ropes course, which was tremendous fun. Excellent value as you can spend the whole day there. Our kids were thrilled by the challenge of it (as was I), and the staff were excellent in supporting and giving confidence. A great pair of activities if you’re in Interlaken for a week or so.

Thanks so much for the great review! 😊 We’re happy you and your family enjoyed the adventure with Hudson, the swim, and the High Ropes course. Hope to see you again soon! 🌟

So much fun as a family....
So much fun as a family. We had Benjy as our guide and I believe Adam as our driver. It was a great excursion. We have differing levels of comfort in the water. Myself and our 10 year old can swim but aren’t strong swimmers while my husband is a competitive swimmer. Despite all the differences we all had so much fun and felt comfortable and safe the whole time.
Thanks. We would do it again and maybe even up the rapids to the next level for next time.
Operator response
Thanks so much for your lovely review! 😊 We're thrilled your whole family had fun and felt safe — Benjy and Adam will be happy to hear it! 🙌 Can't wait to welcome you back for round two with bigger rapids! 🌊💪

Totally worth the price! great tour guides! look for Hudson, he is the man!
Heck YES! this was wayyy worth the price! not only was the experience amazing, but our rafting guides were superb! Super funny and engaging with the group, informative on basic rafting skills, and actually we used our new learned skills while on the 4 hour tour.. I kinda wish it was longer, maybe even 5 hours,.. my wife and i were having soo much fun that time went by quickly... kudos to the staff that were with us,, all the people there were amazing! they need a raise! Look for Hudson! he made our tour even better with his silliness and great attitude!
