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).

Fun and enjoyable ride across the Cam river. Got there 10min before and staff was nice. Solid explanations and pleasant time over a 1h ride. Worth it!

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.
