About the experience

Embark on an unforgettable 12-hour adventure, between majestic lakes and picturesque canals, discovering a unique natural and historical landscape. Departing from Portalban, the cruise begins on Lake Neuchâtel before heading along the peaceful canals leading to Solothurn.

During this 94-km journey, including 80 km of canals, you'll pass through the Nidau lock, a fascinating moment that marks the entrance to another dimension of navigation. A possible stopover in Altreu invites you to observe the famous storks' nests, if the visitor pontoon is free – a rare sight not to be missed!

The cruise continues on the Aare River to the entrance of Solothurn, a charming town with medieval streets, before heading back to Portalban, where you'll arrive in the evening.

Bring your own picnic and drinks for a lunch surrounded by nature, on the boat or at the port, depending on availability. A barbecue is also available to liven up your summer meals.

For your convenience, enjoy onboard Wi-Fi, an outdoor enclosure, restrooms, a well-stocked cooler, and a professional crew to accompany you throughout this exceptional day.

For children, four free activity options (to be specified upon booking) complete this experience:
1- Clouds:
An introduction to the names of clouds, depending on the weather, of course, to awaken their interest in the sky.
2- Lake Animal Recognition:
Discover and name the animals you observe, mainly birds, learn to differentiate between males and females, and even feed them. 3- Introduction to nautical terminology, nautical knots, and steering for ages 3 and up:
A fun activity where each child leaves with a surprise gift (knot and certificate).
4- Temporary tattoos.

Book your discovery day and embark on a timeless journey on Swiss waters!
