Punting in Cambridge this winter

We all know that it can be a struggle to find ways to keep the Christmas spirit alive on the run up to the big day, and even harder to hide the presents! Our innovative scavenger hunt, paired with a classic punting adventure, is set to be a seasonal highlight. The adventure unfolds in two stages: a mesmerising punting journey along the River Cam, where you’ll unravel Christmas mysteries, followed by a captivating city exploration, tracing festive clues and discoveries.

After completing the scavenger hunt, a delightful winter treat awaits your children at Hardy’s sweetshop, a token of your family’s shared achievements. So, seize the opportunity to book now and embark on a hunt filled with festive cheer and discovery!

Christmas Punt and Hunt

  • Our exclusive Christmas scavenger hunt and activity booklets are available as a special addition to your Shared or Private Cambridge Punting tour. This festive offering is available from November 30th to 31st of December. Ensure each child has their own booklet to fully engage in the activities and earn their individual prizes.

  • Booking procedure – The hunt & activity booklets are available as an add-on once you have selected your punting tour online. Ensure your booking falls within the specified dates for the Christmas add-on to appear. You’ll also select the number of booklets you would like to purchase.

  • Your journey begins with the punting tour, where clues are gathered to form a secret code to unlock your festive surprise. Continue the fun with a city quest, guiding you through Cambridge’s iconic landmarks, estimated to last about an hour in length. This Christmas pack will be handed to you at the start of your punting experience – we do recommend opting for an earlier punting tour time so you have the rest of the day to complete the city part of the scavenger hunt to experience the full festivities.

  • The hunt & activity book is for those aged between 4 and 11, with the older kids being able to complete the hunt by themselves but parents might need to help point the younger elves in the right direction. Our Christmas punt and hunt is child-friendly, full of festive spirit and cheer, with magical stories throughout. So get your Christmas jumpers on and enjoy with the whole family.
