School trip

How about a school trip on the Rhine and past the largest waterfall in Europe, the Rhine Falls. Experience an exciting boat trip together with your class, which can also be wonderfully combined with a hike. On the boat itself, the skipper will personally share exciting facts and information about the Rhine Falls, the surrounding area and even the local beaver. A school trip on the Rhine is possible as a course trip as well as an extra trip, where you can choose the route, time and day.

What happens if the weather is bad?

As we are aware that most school trips only take place in good weather, we have special cancellation or postponement options for school classes. You have the option of contacting us in the event of cancellation or postponement, unsolicited by 10.00 a.m. the day before. If you have already booked for the course boat, we will be happy to make a rebooking or a full refund. We will also postpone or cancel a confirmed extra trip free of charge. If we do not receive any notification from you by 10.00 a.m. the day before, the cruise is automatically considered confirmed.

Life jackets

As required by law, we have suitable life jackets on board all passenger boats. However, it is not compulsory to wear them. If you would like your students to wear life jackets during the trip, please note the following points:

Life jackets can only be worn on an extra trip. For reasons of time and organisation, we cannot make this possible on regular course trips.
Please inform us of this request in advance so that we can meet at the landing stage 15 minutes before the agreed departure time. This way we can equip all children with life jackets on land. (Not possible from Rheinfall Schloss Laufen)
We ask for your understanding that we charge a flat rate of CHF 50.00 per school class (max. 30 children) for the additional time (for putting on the life jackets, checking them for damage and stowing them back in the transport bags).

School trip with the 3A 30-minute tour:

With this option, you book directly online and also specify the departure time there and then. When booking online, payment is also made immediately by Twint, PayPal or credit card. We cannot offer payment on site or by invoice for the course trips. As the 3A is a regular scheduled cruise, there may well be other people on the same boat. As our scheduled boats have to adhere to a strict timetable, they depart very punctually. We therefore recommend that you arrive at the landing stage 15 minutes before the booked departure time. The current departure times can be found in our Online-Shop .

School trips with an extra journey:

We are happy to offer you and your school class a customised boat trip. With this option, you decide the route, departure times and date yourself. As this is an extra trip, you and your class will have the boat to yourselves. We will be happy to help you choose the right route. If you decide in favour of this option, you will receive an invoice from us by e-mail after the boat trip. Of course, we offer discounts for school classes on our special cruise rates. Just ask us without obligation.
