Hen Party Punting
Are you planning a Hen Party and thinking about what to do in Cambridge?
A Chauffeured Punting Tour is the answer!
Hen Party Punting
There is an abundance of activities in Cambridge, which are perfect for Hen Parties, but punting is definitely the number one.
Enjoy a luxurious 50-minute private punt tour with one of our charming chauffeurs, during which they will give you as much, or as little of the tour as you would like – it’s a private punting tour so the choice is yours. Your chauffeur will effortlessly glide you along the River Cam so you can soak up the sights; but if this all sounds a bit too relaxing, then you are more than welcome to try punting for yourselves – under the expert guidance of your chauffeur of course!
Whilst we can organise picnics and drinks for you (see below), you are also welcome to bring your own food and drinks on the punt with you – we just ask that you take your rubbish away with you after the tour! There is a Wine Merchants and a number of food & drink establishments on the Quayside where you can purchase food & chilled drinks before boarding if you don’t want to bring them with you. (If you are bringing drinks please bring plastic cups/flutes).

Prosecco Punting
Whilst you are very welcome to bring your own drinks on board we know this isn’t always convenient.
We can supply the following for you to enjoy during your chauffeured punting tour of Cambridge:
- Spumante Prosecco – £25 a bottle
- Paul Langlier Champagne- £45 a bottle
- Bell & Co Alcohol-free prosecco- £15 a bottle
Once you have selected your punting tour time and date simply add the drinks you would like.
All drinks are supplied chilled with plastic glasses. Please note there is a maximum order of half a bottle of prosecco or champagne per adult.
Scavenger Hunts
Pricing: £60 for 2 team packs, additional team packs £20.
Recommended: 5-8 people per team.
Our Cambridge City Centre Scavenger Hunt is the perfect accompaniment to your Hen Party Punting Tour. We suggest allowing 2 hours to complete the scavenger hunt which starts just off the market square. The hunt is self-run and everything that you need to posted out to you in advance of the party date (including a sealed answers envelope).
Scavenger hunts are great fun and can be a brilliant way for different members of the party to get to know each other whilst also exploring Cambridge and competing against the other team(s).
There will be an opportunity to add a scavenger hunt to your booking once you have selected your punting departure time.
frequently asked questions
All you need to know before you punt
Our tours operate in the rain, and large golf-style umbrellas are provided. Whilst these will keep the majority of the rain off, it’s a good idea to come dressed for the weather. Tours are only cancelled when we assess that the conditions are unsafe for punting. Unsafe conditions include, but are not limited to, overhead lightning storms, extreme winds or temperatures and fast river flow.
Blankets are provided in chilly conditions, and we have umbrellas on board when rain is predicted. Umbrellas can also be provided in very warm conditions as a sunshade. Please let our staff know during check-in if you would like an umbrella for sun shade.
Feel free to decorate your boat however you please. Note that your boat is unlikely to be available before your tour slot, meaning that decorating will eat into your tour time.
Additionally, you must remove all decorations at the end of the tour so the boat is ready for the next departure, leaving the boat as you found it.
Please contact us as soon as possible if you are going to be late.
Shared tours can be held for a maximum of 5 minutes. If you are more than 5 minutes late you will miss your departure and will need to repay to book onto a later tour (subject to availability).
If you arrive within 25 minutes of your private punting departure time we can still get you out on the river for a shorter tour time. Please note the boats will need to be back in time to be ready for the next scheduled departure. Some sights may be missed out of the tour as a result.
If we are given a minimum of 2 hours’ notice, we can move your tour to another time slot, subject to a moving fee and dependent upon availability.
Whilst our punts have raised seating and waterproof cushions to minimise our customers getting wet, it is possible to be lightly splashed by other users. Further, golf-style umbrellas are provided in the case of rain to keep you dry.
