Punting in Cambridge this Easter

This Easter, join The Traditional Punting Company on the River Cam for a 50‑minute chauffeured punt tour with the whole family. You can book either a shared or private chauffeured tour along the college backs and then add on our Easter scavenger hunt & activity booklet, priced at just £2.50 per child, to complete your Cambridge Easter experience.

The Easter scavenger hunt booklet has two parts. The first part is an Easter‑themed activity section designed to be completed during your punting tour along the River Cam, with dot‑to‑dot games, Easter egg mazes and more to keep younger passengers entertained on the boat. The second part takes you around the city, following clues, searching for seasonal answers and spotting Easter eggs as you go.

Once the Easter scavenger hunt has been successfully completed, there will be a sweet treat waiting for your little ones at Hardy’s sweetshop to take home from your visit to Cambridge this Easter. It is a simple way to turn a family punt into a full Easter day out.

The Easter Punt and Hunt add‑on is available throughout the Easter holidays; check our booking calendar for dates, departure times and live availability.

If you would prefer to have the boat to yourselves, you can book a private chauffeured punt and add the Easter scavenger hunt to your tour. This option is ideal for larger families, mixed‑age groups or anyone who wants extra space and flexibility on board.

Easter Punt and Hunt

Family Punting in Cambridge

  • This Easter scavenger hunt and activity booklet can only be purchased alongside a Shared or Private Punting tour.
  • The hunt & activity booklets are available as an add-on once you have selected your punting tour. Please make sure that you are booking between the 30th of March and the 10th of April for this add-on to appear. Select the number of booklets you would like to purchase – we do recommend that each child receives one booklet so they can all complete the activities together and each receive their prize.

  • Your 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 Easter hunt & punt experience.

  • The questions during your punting tour will be used to form your final code for your Easter surprise. The city part of the booklet is an additional part of the Easter hunt to carry on the fun. This part of the experience will take you roughly an hour and will guide you around the iconic centre of Cambridge.
  • The hunt & activity booklet is for those aged between 4 and 10, with the older kids being able to complete the hunt by themselves, but parents might need to help point the younger members of the family in the right direction.
  • Our Easter punt and hunt is child-friendly, full of joy, with magical rhymes to guide you from one question to the next. So get your hunting shoes on and enjoy this Easter activity with the whole family.
