Ghost Tour Punting Information

Our 45 minute private ghostly punting tours are bookable in advance and will be waiting for you at your preferred time. Head directly to our Jesus Green Moorings just 2 minutes along the boardwalk from the Quayside to begin your journey on the Cambridge Stix – your ferryman will be set up and awaiting you.

Our spooky tours can be booked throughout the day, but have an extra special appeal at dusk or on special nights such as Hallowe’en. Boats have a maximum of 6 or a maximum of 12 passengers. For last minute bookings, please contact our Bookings Team directly on 01223 322200.

Both our boats and our employees will be dressed for the weather on the day. If it’s sunny and warm, your guide is likely to be wearing a waistcoat! Alternatively, on cooler autumnal days, your guide will wear a professional coat and your boat will be equipped with umbrellas. This is the most likely attire for our spookiest of tours of the darkest ghost stories that Cambridge has to offer.

What to do if you’re running late? Your private booking will be held for you for 5 minutes, after this point, it wouldn’t be possible to go on the tour as this would mean missing our later bookings. Please call us the moment you know of any delays to your schedule and we’ll try to organise things to accommodate you.
