Description

Discover the vibrant heart of Switzerland with the Zurich Private Limmat River Floating Tour, a half-day adventure that lets you experience the city from a unique perspective. Float down the iconic Limmat River, a favorite local summer pastime, and see Zurich in a way that sightseeing buses simply can’t offer.

Begin your journey by meeting your private guide at Wipkingerplatz, conveniently located just minutes from Zurich’s city center. All equipment is provided for you, including a high-quality inflatable boat, life vests, paddles, and drybags, so you can relax and focus on the experience ahead.

After a brief but thorough safety introduction, you’ll set out on the crystal-clear Limmat River. Glide past sunbathing locals, lush green riverbanks, and striking urban views that blend Zurich’s modern energy with tranquil nature. Choose your own pace—swim, take photos, or simply unwind as you float along.

The floating portion of your tour lasts about two to three hours, depending on your preferences and the number of stops you make to soak it all in. Your journey concludes in Dietikon, where your guide manages all equipment for a hassle-free finish.

To wrap up, enjoy a comfortable return ride back to Zurich’s main station, leaving you refreshed and connected to the city’s local spirit. This exclusive river escape fills quickly—secure your spot today for an unforgettable Zurich experience!
