I have been looking forward to kayaking in Interlaken for months and it did not disappoint. Ben our guide was easy going and informative. I could have stayed out on the water longer as it was peaceful and beautiful. Almost doesn’t seem real. Ben took lots of photos for us and shared them right away. Totally worth it! Would recommend.
