Try this! A hovercrafting experience for your stag do!
In a recent Top Gear column, god of the motoring world Jeremy Clarkson downright rejected the car in favour of the hovercraft, announcing: “I swear to God, no car on earth can provide so much fun, because in a car you know where you’re going, but in a hovercraft, you don’t. You can turn the handlebars and lean till your face is peeled off, but it will just head for whatever it was that scared you in the first place”.
Hovercrafting is an adrenaline-pumping activity with a difference, so if you’re looking for a totally unique stag weekend, this could be it! With more conventional off-road toys, you would normally hit the brakes or slide when approaching a particularly sharp corner, but not so with hovercrafting. Hell no! Brakes are for wimps. But before you turn tail and run, rest assured that the machines we use are the product of many years of development in the field of light hovercraft design; so, although fast enough for the adrenaline junkies amongst you, these machines are both safe and reliable, making them ideal for new drivers.
Hovercraft experiences tend to last 2-2.5 hours and include a safety briefing and essential driving instruction from our fully qualified instructors, as well as all necessary safety equipment. After a few practise laps to get your hand in, you can expect a number of competitive team relay and pursuit events, followed by a ‘fastest lap’ competition to find the fastest driver in the group – you may be surprised!
Our Kent hovercrafting site, in particular, is one of the best in the UK for dedicated hovercrafting experiences. Boasting the largest hovertrack in the country, this fantastic venue brings you the chance to experience the exhilarating transition from land to water and back as you learn to master these magnificent flying machines. This extreme activity is definitely not to be missed – as Clarkson said: “It’s the most fun you can have with an engine!”
