The boats take around 4 hours to do the round trip from Interlaken. You can get off and on at your leisure. they have a bar and a snack food restaurant on board which are reasonably priced. Pretty views, calm water, gentle meandering in an alpine valley.

Took a very relaxing boat ride to Brienz from Interlaken OST and then caught the train back. The colour of the water, surrounding scenery and sheer tranquillity is just breathtaking. I took a couple of boat tours when I was in Switzerland. With a half-fare card there wasn't too much difference in price to go first class so it's definitely... More

Went on a sunny albeit a bit cloudy day. The cruise was an hour from interlaken ost. Has a bar if you needed cold / warm food or drinks. Has WC too. The reason I say this is because you hv to pay .50 franc for toilet at some places such as the train station at brienz & Thun(the town... More

The view was excellent.You can go to iseltwald by bus from interlaken.It will take 15 mins.From there you will get a good view.

We caught the Steamer from Brienz down to Interlaken. Having been on the lake many times it was just as good as the first time I went on in the 1960's. The views of the Geissbach Falls are wonderful. It was lovely to just see the train going down the lake half way up the embankment. The stop at the... More
