Hovercraft Experiences

Hovertravel unique experiences are designed to showcase the world’s favourite and longest running passenger hovercraft service. Our Classic Experience, showcases the unique capabilities of the hovercraft with a demonstration at sea and the chance to speak with our Pilots and crew.

The Behind the Scenes Tour invites you to step into the operational heart of Hovertravel. Led by our expert team, this tour gives an exclusive glimpse into the workings of our hovercraft, including access to areas usually off-limits to the public. Discover the secrets behind these iconic machines, learn how they operate, and meet the passionate people who make it all possible.

New for 2025 we are introducing the Sands Experience, a brand-new adventure highlighting the hovercraft’s amphibious capability over land and sea. This unique trip takes you beyond the usual routes, gliding over sands on the Solent.


With these three experiences, Hovertravel offers something for everyone - whether you’re a first-time visitor or a long-time fan of our groundbreaking technology.
