Romantic Punting in Cambridge

Cambridge is an exceptionally scenic and ancient university city. It automatically sets the mood with chemistry. Romantic punting is bound to create memories to treasure – it’s simple!

There are many romantic activities for couples to celebrate their love, and punting in Cambridge is an excellent way to enjoy each other’s company. You can surprise your partner with a tour on the River Cam and relax while you are being chauffeured around this beautiful location.

Instead of sharing a punt with other tourists, you can hire a private ride to take your significant other on the most exciting historical journey. While booking the tour, reach out to ask if we can personalize the tour.  When romantic punting in Cambridge, our chauffeurs can guide you toward the best spots to get photographs.

Why the River Cam?

The River Cam provides the most gorgeous setting for a romantic outing, and it’s enchanting to share that with a special someone. Ask your chauffeur to take photos of you together so that those memories can last forever.

After a long day exploring the city by foot, it’s a treat to relax on one of our boats – hand in hand. Taking in the breathtaking sights of the River Cam is an experience to share.

The boat can be decorated however you please. So long as the boat is left how you found it. If this does not impress your date, nothing else will.

If you are celebrating an anniversary together, you can arrange to have a chilled bottle of champagne on board with flutes to sip along the ride while toasting your relationship.

During your punting in Cambridge, you do not have to worry about the weather because we will have blankets and covers on the punt. We can even supply you with a deli grazing box to share together to make the trip extra special. The views you will see along the way are nothing short of something from a Jane Austen novel, which is what makes Cambridge such a romantic city.

A romantic day out in Cambridge

There are lots of activities for couples to partake in and strengthen their bond. After the romantic tour punting in Cambridge, you can stop at a quiet spot to have a picnic in the nearby Jesus Green. If it is not too cloudy, you will see the most magnificent sunset from the water that will literally take your breath away. Dusk is the most romantic time of the day when the sun is going down, and you can stroll under the soft pastel-coloured sky while holding hands as all the buildings light up around you.

At the end of the night, you should cosy up together in a local pub, especially one that has a wood-burning fireplace to set the mood. We recommend Pickerel Inn, just off Magdalene Bridge.

After all that fresh air you experienced on your romantic punting in Cambridge. Enjoy some great food and drinks in Cambridge, and before you know it, you will be coming back to this city for more. Travelling together with loved ones is one of the most unique experiences. As you look at all the beautiful sights together, you are celebrating that there is nobody else you would rather be with to share these magical moments.
