With characteristics that resemble boats, planes, and supermarket trolleys, piloting these machines is tricky. We aim to teach you these skills quickly and safely.

Steering is by a combination of handlebars and kneeling to shift your body weight, while the thrust – which can take you up to 35mph – is from an enormous duct fan behind you. You’ll be taught how to pilot one of our Farncombe Adventure Hovercrafts before a few laps of the circuit and a final flying lap!
