Description

Your experience starts at Wipkingerplatz in Zurich at your chosen time slot. After a detailed safety briefing, you receive an inflatable raft, paddles, and life jackets. The route, river conditions, and safety guidelines are clearly explained before launch.

You then float down the Limmat River toward Dietikon on a scenic 2-hour journey surrounded by green riverbanks and calm currents. This self-guided trip reflects a local summer tradition rather than a tourist activity.

You control the pace—stop to swim, drift with the current, or paddle for more activity. The gentle river is beginner-friendly and suitable for groups looking for a stress-free experience.

At the Dietikon exit point, return your equipment at the designated meeting spot. The trip is authentic, simple, and fully self-guided as locals do it.
