Punting on the River Cam is the most iconic way to visit Cambridge from the water. The classic route follows the College Backs, the riverside gardens behind Cambridge University colleges, where the city feels calm, scenic, and timeless.
Cambridge University dates back to the 13th century and includes 31 colleges, each with its own traditions and architecture. On a shared chauffeured punting tour, your punter guides the boat while you relax and enjoy the views.
Along the river you will pass famous colleges and sights linked to places such as King’s College, Trinity College, and Magdalene College, plus well known bridges and landmarks associated with punting in Cambridge. Many visitors also look out for areas connected to the Wren Library and other riverside highlights, with photo opportunities around every bend.
Unlike self hire boats, chauffeured punting tours let you focus on comfort, stories, and tranquillity. Guests are welcome to bring food, drinks, and even pets on board. With cushions and blankets provided, you can enjoy the experience in comfort in changing weather.
If you are planning your day, Cambridge has multiple punting stations across the city, including areas near Jesus Green and the Mill Pond. Your booking confirmation will tell you exactly where to go for your departure.
