Hi Joanne,
Day trips in the Bernese Oberland (Thun) are listed here. A boat trip should be on your list! As from Fribourg: the Chocolate Train is an option, but that’s 100% touristic. Hiking is an option, as well as boat trips on Lake Geneva and Lake Neuchâtel. You could do a round trip by train via Montreux – Zweisimmen – Spiez. Or visit the Lavaux Vinorama.
I hope this gets your started!

Thank you so much. Actually, that Montreux-Zweisimmen-Spiez route may be a panoramic way to get to Thun for our second stop. I never thought about that. Is it more expensive to travel that way than via Bern from Fribourg to Thun?

It’s a good idea to use that route for your transfer to Thun. It’s more expensive, but definitely worth the extra time and money. You were planning to get a Swiss Card, right? That allows you to purchase tickets at half the fare.
