I had a great time at Hovercraft Adventures today! My friend and I did the 1 hour session for £90 each. We had a hovercraft each. The instructor was really friendly, fun, capable and had a great sense of humour. He carefully guided us on the test track for about 15 minutes and then we had the rest of the session out on the course where he was also really helpful. I had so much fun and was really happy. However I should say that I am a massive hovercraft fan and have done this before!!!!! My friend enjoyed it and had fun, but did not find it as amazing as I did. A third person also joined us to watch and they did have a pleasant time, the instructor was nice and made him feel part of the gang. I think if a person really loves hovercraft they will have a great time, but presumably that is the same for anything. We were not allowed to overtake each other, presumably because it would be so easy to crash into each other and cause damage as hovercrafts are so uncontrollable. Hovercraft Adventures has in the past had a bumpy ride. I did it 9 years ago when it was owned by the manufacturer of the hovercrafts and it was great. However 5 years ago financial problems for the manufacturer meant that they had to sell off the adventure experiences part of the business about 4 years ago I believe that it went through a few owners and during this time it suffered from chronic lack of investment in the vehicles, staff and lack of care. However the current owners have been there for 2 years, have put work into the craft stuff and it is now a great experience!!!!!! I would love to go again and believe I will do so. My friends liked it, but were not as ecstatic as me not really because they prefer Segways, each to their own. I did not do the quad bike bike experience because I love hovercrafts so much, but the people who are on it all seemed happy. The course was perfectly big, but water areas of the course are not so large. This meant it could not give so much of the watersports and amphibious feel of the hovercrafts, as it could have done with larger water areas. However it is hard to find land with loads of grass, water and that can get permission to use for these events so I can totally understand why. read more
