Hovercraft to Isle of Wight

Hovercraft Experience to Ryde & Coach Trip to The Needles

Experience the excitement of soaring 1.5 meters above the waves on a cushion of air, reaching speeds of up to 45 knots. Once we arrive in Ryde, embark on a picturesque coach trip to The Needles. From dramatic coastlines to unforgettable experiences for the whole family, no visit to the Isle of Wight is complete without a trip to The Needles.

Upon arrival at The Needles we will enjoy a ride on the iconic chairlifts from the top of the Alum Bay cliffs down to the beach below and experience spectacular views of the picturesque Needles Rocks and Lighthouse, as well as the multi-coloured sand cliffs of Alum Bay and the stunning turquoise waters beyond. Before taking your return journey you can enjoy Alum Bay beach and a boat trip to see the Needles Rocks up close.

You will have some free time to enjoy all The Needles has to offer including Alum Bay Glass, the Isle of Wight’s longest-established glassmaker producing beautiful and unique glassware with live demonstrations from skilled local craftsmen. Be sure to visit the Sand Shop where you can fill a glass or plastic shape with layers of Alum Bay’s 21 shades of sand. This has been a tradition since the mid-1800s when Queen Victoria was presented with a special souvenir. Today, it’s a fond childhood memory for many.

Get ready for a day filled with fun and adventure before we re-join the coach for a scenic route back to the Hovercraft.
