Based on 14 HoverTravel Reviews 5 most recent reviews 7.4
Car Park is located across the road from terminal (£10.00 all day), straight forward entrance to waiting area, however there are no toilets within the terminal and waiting area is fairly compact. Journey is very enjoyable and once across access in to Ryde is just over a bridge. On our return the terminal staff noticed us rushing to catch hovercraft and held it until we were through. Overall a very pleasant trip and for a good price 9.4 7.6
Great Site . . . Value for Money . . Great Check-in. . . .Very fast!!!! But very basic. However that's all good because it kept things cheap and cheerful!! 8.0
We were an hour early and had to watch the hovercrafts come and go - fascinating. Boy 7 & girl 10 loved the journey. So fast - just 10 minutes! The beach at Ryde is glorious sand and they had a whale of a time, but couldn't wait for the hovercraft back again. Highly recommended - also for big kids like me! 7.6
Good trip across and return journey . Comfortable seats with plenty of room |
