What makes Bat Safari Punting a different Cambridge evening activity?
Bat Safari Punting is an evening wildlife experience for visitors who want to see a different side of Cambridge from the river. Run with the Wildlife Trust, the trip uses chauffeured punts, bat detectors and dusk timing on the Grantchester Meadows route for nature-focused discovery.
