Bat Punt Safaris

Our annual River Cam bat punts with Scudamore's provide one of the most exciting experiences of summer on the River Cam in Cambridge.

Enjoy a unique experience setting off just before dusk; hand held bat detectors pick up on bat echolocation as the punt drifts down the River Cam, and a Wildlife Trust guide will interpret the type of bat from the clicks and squeaks of, for example, pipistrelle and Daubenton's bats, as well as identifying all the other sounds of the riverbank. From herons and tawny owls to roosting wading birds and the occasional passing fox. During late July and into August mother bats fly in tandem with their bat pups.

The 2019 season is now over; the bat safaris will start againfrom mid May to mid September  2020 (each trip runs for 90 minutes: bookings will open spring 2020).

Scudamore's contribute on 50% of ticket proceeds to the Trust, so every booking helps wildlife! The trips have raised more than £36,000 over the last six years.
