Interlaken tours offer an incredible range of activities. You can soar above the Alps on a tandem paragliding flight, kayak across Lake Brienz, tackle white-water rafting on alpine rivers, or explore dramatic landscapes by e-bike. For a slower pace, cruise along Lake Thun, discover underground caves, hike through valleys dotted with waterfalls, or sample Swiss cheese and chocolate on a culinary tour.

Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the Beatus Caves, Panoramic Bridge, Nature Park Blue Lake, and Lake Thun Cruise lets you explore the underground St. Beatus Caves with their ancient stalactites, walk across the Sigriswil Suspension Bridge for panoramic alpine views, wander through the Blausee nature park, and finish with a scenic cruise on Lake Thun.

Plan for at least 3-4 days to experience Interlaken's highlights. You'll want a day or two for adventure activities like paragliding, rafting, or kayaking, plus time to explore nearby valleys such as Lauterbrunnen with its 72 waterfalls. Budget an extra day for a trip to Jungfraujoch or the Schilthorn if you're keen on mountain railways and panoramic alpine views. If you’re looking to cram in multiple outdoor activities, you’ll need closer to five days—having an extra day to account for any bad weather helps.
