Oscar is a star! Booked hovercraft's for my sister's hen do. My mother was told she was too light to be in the hovercraft on her own so 'The Beast' was bought out! Our instructor was a young lad called Oscar, and he was an absolute star! He made the experience one which we will always remember as we all had such a great laugh! It is so nice to come across younger people who have the courage and people skills in order to provide such a memorable experience when faced with somewhat 'older' ladies! Thank you Oscar for your laughs, your humour, your patience and your skills. We aced that hovercraft and we will be back for more!read moreread less

Great time at Hover Force I bought the shooting range experience and hovercraft ride for my partner for his birthday. I saw Hover Force online and my friend from work said she had been and it was great fun. My partner had done some shooting before but not with the exact guns that he got to fire. It was very professional and very safe, and the instructions were given very clearly before they started. The hovercraft was the same, there was a full safety talk before they began and I bought him the 4 lap experience and they did it in 2 lots of 2 which was good because it made it last longer. Tommy was fab with my partner showing him what to do and how to steer the hovercraft. We would fully recommend this place to everyone and will definitely be paying more visits.read moreread less

Fantastic fun and lovely enthusiastic staff We had a fantastic couple of hours with the people at Hover Force this weekend. We’d booked on to the Hovercraft experience - myself, fiancé and our 16 year old daughter. They were really enthusiastic and reassuring (we were first-timers). Tom was absolutely brilliant with us and especially encouraging and instructing our daughter. She actually beat us both in the end on the timed lap and narrowly missed the leaderboard! Would definitely recommend, it was so much fun. Thank youread moreread less

Great experience! Booked for a joint birthday day out to go Hovercrafting with family and friends - couldn’t fault the whole experience. Jake was fantastic and very patient (despite us taking a bit of time to suss out how to drive the hover crafts initially!) and the next coach (I didn’t get his name) was also brilliant. Both were really knowledgable and communicated well through the headsets for novice crafters. There were 7 of us in total and we took it in turns to drive round the track in pairs - couldn’t have done it any other way as those hover crafts require quite a bit of practice. Venue was great, all equipment was provided and the staff were friendly too. Little bit of competition in racing for time for the last track and was great fun. Great experience and great value for money! Thanks to the team for making our day out so special!read moreread less
