Water Experience Days: What could be more quintessentially Cambridge than the traditional past time of punting? There’s no better way to experience this beautiful city than from the comfortable vantage point of a punt boat, taking in the scenery around you with your friends by your side.
This one hour tour is valid for 12 participants, so why not make an event of it?A punt is a boat known for its unique design, featuring a flat bottom and a square-cut bow, perfect for use in rivers and shallow water.
Where better to enjoy this exceptional activity than the River Cam in Cambridge, the most popular place for punting in England? It’s no wonder that punting favours the River Cam, with its appropriately shallow water and eight striking college buildings that glide past you as you enjoy your journey across the water.
Other interesting sights include the Bridge of Sighs and Kings Chapel, and the professional crew who pilot your voyage will be decked out in boaters and waistcoats to give the whole experience a traditional feel.
You’ll even be given the chance to have a go at punting yourself if you're that way inclined! There’s no need to fear the wrath of unpredictable British weather; these boats are all kitted out with cosy blankets and umbrellas so you’re prepared for any eventuality! This Private Punting Tour in Cambridge is the perfect day out for a group of friends looking to see the sights, and makes a fun experience gift for Cambridge locals.
