Experience the thrill of hovercrafting in Leicester! Our one-on-one sessions provide you with the opportunity to learn how to operate these exciting machines on a specially designed course near Market Harborough. Hovercrafting is a fun adventure, but be prepared for “splash back” – that means mud and water will be flying everywhere! You’ll pilot the craft from a kneeling position, using your weight to steer. This requires balance and good judgment, as there are no brakes – just a throttle and rudder. Don’t worry; we provide ample instruction and guidance throughout the experience. You’ll soon navigate the slalom course, aiming to avoid obstacles and score points while enjoying the ride. Book your hovercraft experience in Leicester today, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
