A bus eases out of Lausanne at dawn and the city’s edge yields to green fields and the first glimpses of the Bernese Oberland. By midmorning the road drops toward Interlaken and the turquoise face of Lake Brienz unrolls—cold, bright, and daring you to lean into the spray. The jetboat briefing is brisk: life jackets on, captain’s safety talk, then the boat slips free and the shoreline becomes a moving panorama.

A bus eases out of Lausanne at dawn and the city’s edge yields to green fields and the first glimpses of the Bernese Oberland. By midmorning the road drops toward Interlaken and the turquoise face of Lake Brienz unrolls—cold, bright, and daring you to lean into the spray. The jetboat briefing is brisk: life jackets on, captain’s safety talk, then the boat slips free and the shoreline becomes a moving panorama.
Lake Brienz sits on glacial limestone carved by ice and fed by alpine streams; cliffs near the Giessbach Falls still show the banded geology of the region. The falls tumble into the lake in a series of cataracts—an easy landmark during the ride—and the surrounding chalets and conifer slopes reflect the long pattern of mountain agriculture and tourism that built Interlaken into a gateway town.
Expect a soft-adventure mix: high-energy 360° spins on the jetboat combined with quieter hours for shopping, café breaks, or vantage-point photos in Interlaken. The full tour is an 11-hour round trip from Lausanne with roughly two hours’ coach transfer each way and about 90 minutes allocated to the jetboat experience (briefing, equipment, ride).
Practical notes: minimum age is 5, life jackets are provided, and physical demands are low—mostly short walks and boarding. Pack windproof layers and sunglasses; weather can change fast at lake level. Aim for a morning departure to catch clearer light on the mountains and to give yourself the best window for free time in Interlaken before the return drive.
The jetboat segment is part of a 90-minute slot that includes briefing and equipment; the on-water ride itself varies by operator but typically includes multiple high-speed runs and 360° turns totaling around 20–40 minutes.
Yes—minimum age is 5; life jackets are provided and staff manage boarding, but children must be supervised during the bus transfer and on the boat.
Small personal bags can usually remain on the coach at the guide’s discretion, but carry valuables and necessary items with you during the Interlaken stop.
Operators may cancel in poor weather for safety; the tour allows cancellation up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund, and staff will advise on-day if conditions force changes.
