Hi Avinash,
That is certainly possible. You’ll find a link to the timetable on http://www.myswissalps.com/bo atlakethun/gettingther e, under “More on other websites”.
In Spiez you’d walk to the train station in about 15 minutes to take the train back to Interlaken. The boats and trains are all free with the Swiss Travel Pass: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/validity.
Have fun!

When I did that walk it was much more than 15 minutes! Uphill most of the way. There is a connecting bus but it only operates once per hour.
A better alternative may be to take the train to Spiez and walk down to the wharf. Or take the bus.
Lovely part of the world!

1) Difficult to give any advice without knowing the date of your trip.
2) There is a good chance you won’t save any time just going to Spiez, for the following reasons:
- you have have to walk up a steep hill to Spiez station afterwards
- if you want to return by boat you may well have to wait until the same boat you got off comes back from Thun…
- Also, you see almost the same scenery from the Interlaken – Spiez train as it runs close to the lake.
yes Thunersee is included in STP

Perhaps allocate 30 minutes for the walk and you’re always good 🙂 There are more options to get off the boat. Gunten, for example, at the opposite side of the lake. If you get off there it’s only a minute to walk to the bus stop to get back to Interlaken. If that works out with the schedules that could be quicker. You can check the timetable for details.
