Hovercraft Introduction - Market Harborough

Hovercraft Experience Days: Think you’re a highly competent driver?

Think there’s no motor vehicle that you couldn’t drive like a pro?

Think again!

Hovercrafting is like nothing you’ve experienced before; flying over multiple terrains on a cushion of air is novel in itself, but steering on your knees and using your entire body to change the direction of the vehicle makes this a completely unique experience that you’ll never forget.

The activity begins on arrival at the Leicestershire venue where you’ll meet the expert instructor and any guests joining the experience.

After a safety briefing and demonstration from the instructor, you’ll get your first feel for driving a hovercraft.

With the safety cord wrapped round your wrist, you’ll slowly increase the throttle until you feel the craft rise from the ground and pitch forward – and you’re off!

Using your body weight to manipulate the air beneath you, you’ll have to focus on your balance, judgement and forward-thinking to manoeuvre the hovercraft around the purpose-built course, flying over ground and water.

When you’re confident in your abilities, you’ll get to indulge in some friendly competition earning points for every correct manoeuvre, and finish with a time-trial race!

Hovercrafting is totally unique and makes a fantastic way to get outside and enjoy some fresh air.

A perfect gift for driving enthusiasts and those who love to try new things, this is one experience you’re sure to remember for a lifetime!
