I can't say enough about the professionalism, knowledge and friendliness of the pilots!”

“I loved this! At first (before booking online) I was a little nervous about doing this. But once I got there, I was fine. My main focus was on the "run" that I didn't concern myself with getting spooked. I think my guide was Alan, and he totally prepared me and took me on the flight of a lifetime. Matterhorn view was amazing too!”

Raft continuous class III and IV rapids on Switzerland’s Lütschine River, then float to Lake Brienz with expert guides, gear, showers, and a drink.
“The trip was really good. 2 areas of rafting on the trip. The guides were really good. I would recommend the trip, my 15 year old loved it. Only disappointment was having to pay to park the car when it’s on an industrial park which I thought was a little cheeky as the tour is quiet expensive.”
Soar above Lake Lucerne on a tandem paraglider with an expert pilot, mountain views, cable-car access, and optional photos.
“The highlight of my Switzerland visit was the tandem paragliding in Lucerne with Shalil (not sure if I spelled his name right). He was super patient with our “scaredy cat” group. All 4 of us were hesitant to run and jump to fly. Toni, his boss was nice as well. Both made us feel safe and assured us of an exceptional experience once we were up in the sky. We were asked if we want a peace and quiet flight or a crazy one. I chose fly peacefully and a crazy flight in the middle then back to a peaceful one. This is a must adventure in Switzerland. It’s kinda…”
Rappel 50 meters into a Swiss canyon, jump, slide, zipline, and swim through the Alps on a thrilling half-day trip from Interlaken.
“We really enjoyed the trip and highly recommend it for action adventure seekers. Cliff repelling, jumping off canyon walls and into natural water slides, and much more. Scary but fun. However, for $224 per person, I frankly find it insulting that despite taking plenty of pictures and video of the trip for us, they won’t provide even a single photo of us during the trip (only one photo after the trip on dry land) unless we pay extra. Feels really cheap and taking advantage of its customers. If you don’t care about having any photo memories to take home then go for it.”
Fly above Interlaken with a professional pilot, taking in the Swiss Alps, lakes, and town from a tandem paraglider launched near Beatenberg.
“Richard was a very good guide. There were booking issues and we had to change my flight time and the tour company was very easy to work with during this issue. The guides were amazing, experienced, and went off of how you were feeling as far as how active you were in the air. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see the beautiful views of interlaken from above while trying something new.”
Canyoning Interlaken combines a 10-meter rappel, rock jumps, natural slides, Alpine views, and expert guides in a three-hour beginner trip.
“Incredible experience with our 14 and 17 year old kids - the whole family loved this! The provided full wetsuits and boots were key - I hate being cold more than anything and I must say every moment of this experience was enjoyable! This was a top-notch organization from beginning to end. Our guides were outstanding and we all felt safe but challenged the whole day through! Wow - what a highlight of our Switzerland family vacation!!!”
