Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Start at Rheinfelder Inseli, paddle to Hertener Loch

The tour launches from Rheinfelder Inseli and follows the Rhine downstream to the Hertener Loch, a short, supervised flatwater stretch ideal for practicing SUP skills under instructor guidance.

THE INSTRUCTION

Certified instructors and skill progression

Certified SUP instructors lead the outing and supervise skill practice, with emphasis on safety and playful learning—making the session appropriate for children who have completed the operator’s introductory course or who already have comparable experience.

THE SWIM

A refresh at Warmbacher Waterfall

Midway through the route there is a planned swim stop at Warmbacher Waterfall, giving kids a chance to cool off and experience the local waters in a supervised setting.

What the day feels like

What the two‑hour outing feels like

The SUP Kids – Rhein‑Tour is a compact on‑water session: boards, paddles and buoyancy aids are provided and instructors shepherd a small group from the island launch, through guided practice and brief talks on the 'ecosystem water', to a refreshing bathing stop before the finish at Hertener Loch — all within a two‑hour window.
