Thuner See and also Brienzer See are the largest lakes in the Jungfrau-Region and it will be a great idea to dedicate a full day of your stay in Thun for cruising them !
Both lakes may be done easyly within a single day, especially when you always stay on the cruiseships or choose the stations carefully, where you are leaving the ships, explore lovely places like Spiez, Schloss Oberhofen or Huenibach, Beatenbucht, Interlaken etc. and continue later-on by the next ship.
All of the ships will also have a 1st class, that is the total upper deck, and a 2nd class in the lower decks.
Normally on mondays and at special days during the lower season day-tickets are available for both lakes for just 25 sfr for 2nd class (35,- sfr for 1st class) and those tickets are for both lakes.
All of the ships on Thunersee and Brienzersee belong to the swiss railway-system and are also included in the "Regionalpass Berner Oberland" ! Leave a Comment

Regional-Pass berner Oberland is valid 7 days (224,-sfr) or 15 days (270,-sfr) and during 3 of these 7 or 5 of these 15 days you may use that ticket for unlimited travels, only for a tour to Jungfraujoch you pay 50 sfr extra and for Schilthorn 30 sfr extra - the Brienz Rothorn is totally included !!
The tickets are for 7/15 consecutive days, BUT you may choose any 3 (or 5) days of unlimited travels by yourself - you simply stamp your ticket at any trainstation into a machine on these days.
During the rest of the days you pay half of the ordinary prices.
This ticket includes also all trains and ships around Brienzersee and Thunersee, trains till Brig, Lenk i.S., Adelboden, Meiringen, Gstaad and halfprice all days to Zermatt, Luzern, Bern etc...
I had such a ticket with 7 days and could save a lot of money, although I had only 3 days with excellent weather-conditions !!.
See more details about that ticket on my link below !!

Of course this is not a usual rental car that you may drive yourself, BUT you rather have to rent it togeather with the owner as a driver, but that might even be the better experience, to have your own chauffeur.
You certainly have to reserve that car a long time in advance - see the telephone-number below !
I saw this announcement at the "Kunterbunt-Laden" next to Berntorscheune, so maybe that car is to be seen inside the Berntorscheune.
Kunterbunt-Laden is open :
Mondays 01.30 p.m. - 06.30.p.m.
Tuesday - friday : 10.00a.m.-12.00 + 01.30 - 06.30p.m.
Saturday 09.00a.m. - 04.00p.m. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor HomePhone: 031 - 839 0487

Jungfraubahnen-pass is a special pre-paid train-ticket for 6 consecutive days and it is valid for the whole area between Interlaken Ost and Grosse Scheidegg, Kleine Scheidegg,Maennlichen, Wengen,Muerren,First,Grindelwald, Busalp, Harder Kulm and Schynigge Platte.
You may use all of these trains and buses totally for free for 6 full consecutive days, only for the train between Kleine Scheidegg and Jungfraujoch you pay 50 sfr extra.
For the Schilthorn you have to pay the full price !! - In case that you intend to go to Schilthorn and/or Brienzer Rothorn as well , I may recommend to buy the "Regionalpass Berner Oberland" instead of Jungfraubahnen-Pass !!
The Jungfraubahnen-pass is 190 sfr
for the 6 consecutive days !
It is available between May 1st and october 31st ! Leave a Comment

Thun is about halfway between Interlaken and Bern and its train-station is in the very centre of town, in a walking-distance of just about 20 minutes to the castle of Thun and even less to Obere Hauptgasse, the river Aare and Rathausplatz.
From the Hauptbahnhof Thun you will get to the ship-landing-station of Thuner See walking within about 5 minutes, so that is very easy as well.
there are lots of automatic lockers for your luggage at Hauptbahnhof !
Just opposite of the station there is a kiosk serving snacks, coffee and drinks :
Steimann Pic is open 7 days a week !
Monday-Friday 06.00a.m. - 07.00p.m.
Saturday & Sunday 08.00 a.m. - 05.00p.m. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Thun centipede by sandysmith
The "Thun Centipede" is the brainchild of artist Albert Levice. Ten two-wheeled trailers, each carrying one person, are hooked up behind a longwheelbase recumbent tricycle so that they follow the leader perfectly - almost as if on rails defined by the path of the leading trike.
It leaves from Obere Bälliz, May to October. Weekdays; from 2 PM, Saturday from 11 AM and Sunday from 1 PM and cost SFr 5 for 20 mins. Reservations reccommended in the high season
sorry the pic is a bit blurred, they were pedalling fast! Theme: BicyclePhone: 079/622 44 01Other Contact: Fax: 222 01 66

By train arriving at either Interlaken Ost or Interlaken West. The tourist information center is located at the ground level of the MetroPole Hotel, in between the two stations. If you intend to head up to Bernese Oberland, alight at Interlaken Ost and hop onto a connecting train to Grindelwald or somewhere up there.
The Bernese Oberland regions are connected to one another by cable car systems, funicular and mountain rail tracks. To figure out how to go from one region to another, pick a copy of the ski trails map and it will tell you all.

The easiest option is by train either from Bern or Interlaken. In summer, there are lake ferries you can use to get to Thun from Spiez and Interlaken. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
