Meet your private guide at Wipkingerplatz, just minutes from the city center. Everything will be ready for you: high-quality inflatable boat, life vests, paddles, and drybags – no setup needed. After a quick safety briefing, it's time to hit the water. Drift along the crystal-clear Limmat River, passing sunbathing locals, green riverbanks, and urban views blending with nature. Swim, snap photos, or simply lay back and enjoy the ride – you set the pace. Floating time is around 2 to 3 hours, depending on your vibe and how often you stop.
