Safety was paramount and this was never compromised at any time. Throughout instructor and other host were giving hand signals on how to navigate course and were constantly there to assist. The next 20 minutes although I think was actually longer both were whizzing round track. By end of this both we're able to start hovercraft, speed up / slow down and go round corners safely. Hosts who was excellent instructor then spent around 10-15 minutes teaching the basics. Were greeted warmly upon arrival and throughout hosts could not have done more to make both drivers and spectators welcome.īefore sitting in Hovercraft given full safety briefing and supplied with overalls, knee pads and helmet. Good fun, highly reccommended!īooked a 20 minute experience for 13 year old son and grown up daughter. So, challenging but my kids got the hang of it within their first session. About the only comparable is a snowmobile in deep snow, even then the hovercraft is very different. Note that this is totally different from, say, karting, drifting, or motocross. Sorry I didn't get their names, but the man and lady running the place were so nice, it is gritty work running these things but they were very keen and positive. We were a bit short on time, so no session for me (Dad) but at the end I guess the owner could tell I was keen and a 'motorsports' guy so gave me a quick training and sent me out for a lap, free. They went separately, not 'wheel to wheel'. The 10 min session is actually longer as they each had a 1 on 1 training session until they could control the vehicle, then were let loose on the course. Our teen boys, age 14 and 16, had great fun. Gates were closed but we saw the owner through the fence and he happily opened up. We stumbled upon this place on our way to Portimao race circuit and dropped in.
