On our special day trip we take you by coach to meet the hovercraft at Southsea. There is a private hovercraft demonstration for 20 minutes to experience the capabilities of a hovercraft. This includes 360o spins, and close views of landmarks on the Solent, (such as the fort). After arriving in Ryde you will meet the Pilot that operates the hovercraft to explain how it works, history and their experiences. After the talk has finished the Pilot will walk around the hovercraft with the guests to show and explain the different components. After this we have included a 2-course lunch with tea and coffee. You can while away the rest of your time on the beautiful beach at Ryde or the independent shops in this beautiful town. The approximate 10 minute return journey by Hovercraft will take you back to Southsea around 16.00 where we meet the coach.
