Hovertravel’s Behind-the-Scenes Tour Gets a Festive Makeover
This December, Hovertravel is spreading holiday cheer with a festive twist on its beloved Behind-the-Scenes Tour!
On Monday 22 December at 2pm, the ever-popular tour returns with a Festive Edition that promises mince pies, merry selfies, and a sprinkle of seasonal magic.
Guests can enjoy a free mince pie in Solent Views, the viewing hub of the Hovercraft Centre of Excellence, offering stunning views over Ryde Hoverport and a fascinating glimpse into the history of hovercaft.
Everyone on the exclusive 90-minute tour will also receive a gift-wrapped Hovertravel souvenir, and meet Henri the Hoverbear, dressed in their most festive finery and ready for selfies – because no holiday outing is complete without a bear-y good photo!


Loretta Lale, Head of Marketing at Hovertravel, said: "We’re excited to welcome visitors for a behind-the-scenes adventure with some seasonal sparkle. From mince pies with a view to selfies with Henri, it’s all about sharing a little hovercraft magic this Christmas!"
There is also a Festive Behind the Scenes Tour (including return flight from Southsea) option; for this, guests depart from Southsea at 1.30pm, and the return from Ryde is scheduled for 4:15pm.
Spaces for the Festive Behind-the-Scenes Tour are limited. Book your place and make your holiday hover-tastic at https://www.hovertravel.co.uk/experiences/festive-edition-behind-the-scenes-tour.
