— What to Expect —
Feel the true power of nature with the 3B Large Circular Cruise, a fantastic 75-minute boat journey that takes you from the roaring basin of the Rhine Falls down to the tranquil waters of Rheinau. Departing from the Schlössli Wörth landing stage, this tour offers the perfect balance of a heart-pounding natural spectacle and a peaceful river escape. Because the boat enters the waterfall basin at both the beginning and the end of the journey, you’ll get two distinct chances to experience Europe's largest waterfall from just a few meters away.
As you leave the thundering falls behind, the boat glides into a relaxing 7-kilometer cruise along a pristine stretch of the river often called the "Rhenish Amazon." It’s a gorgeous, winding waterway surrounded by lush forests. Along the way, your boat captain will keep you entertained with interesting facts about the region's unique geography, the local power station, and even the native beavers that build their homes along the riverbanks.
The cruise includes a short stop at the Rheinau landing stage, giving you the perfect opportunity to customize your trip. You can choose to step off the boat to visit the spectacular 18th-century Baroque monastery church—a cultural treasure located just a short walk away—or simply stay on board to relax and enjoy the return journey. It’s a smooth, deeply rewarding outdoor experience that shows off the very best of Switzerland's famous riverways.
