Experience the excitement of hovercrafting in Leicester! Our shared sessions let you learn to operate these thrilling machines on a specially designed course near Market Harborough. Hovercrafting is a fun adventure, but be prepared for "splash back"—mud and water flying everywhere! You’ll pilot the craft from a kneeling position, using your weight to steer. It requires balance and good judgment, as there are no brakes—just a throttle and rudder. Don't worry; ample instruction and guidance will be provided. You’ll soon navigate the slalom course, aiming to avoid obstacles and score points, all while enjoying the ride. Our taster sessions offer about 8-10 minutes of drive time. Book your hovercraft experience in Leicester today and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
