Good things about punting in the evenings

The evening punting tour is a great time to go punting because the river is far less congested by other river users. At times you may be the only boat in sight. This makes for a more romantic atmosphere. It’s also an ideal time to take photo’s.

Due to the downturn in business in the evenings many punting companies, offer discounted rates if you book off-peak.

The evening suns sets in the west. This illuminates the sites on the main straight of the river. It’s common knowledge that sunset and sunrise are the ideal times for the most dramatic photography. Take your companion for a romantic, evening punting tour.
