We love history, of all kinds. But we really like the ones that you can get up close and personal with. Even more, we love history that is not static, but rather is real and, even better tangible in a way that everyone can appreciate it on their own terms. This post tries to cover all of that with one single main element – a hovercraft!
Yes, this kind of thing is mostly exciting to over-excited males (of all ages) but it’s actually really good fun for the whole family. And if your friends and, again, family won’t look at this with the thrill of the thrills, their friends will. Get ready for a bouncy, wet and wild event To book, click here.


Experience the sheer thrill of riding a hovercraft! Travel on the World’s only commercial foot passenger service, which is the fastest way to cross the Solent between Southsea in Portsmouth and Ryde on the Isle of Wight in just 10 minutes! It’s a blast, and very much a unique experience in this day and age. Book here.


It wasn’t too long ago that these monster machines were just about to be put out to pasture (as it were) but common sense prevailed and they’re calling you to have a wet and wild day. To top it all off, you can spend the date in the delightful areas of Southsea in Portsmouth and Ryde on the Isle of Wight, two of the most beloved and popular parts of the UK. We can’t wait to jump on to one of these (it’s been a dream for your editor since I was a wee kid. We are sooo happy that this is live again, and thanks to the always excellent GetYourGuide for helping to make it happen. To book, click here.
