Adrenaline Escape from Alanya: Hovercraft Challenge

This hovercraft safari was the highlight of our trip! The training session was thorough but quick, and soon we were gliding across the water like something out of a James Bond movie. The views of hidden coastal spots were incredible places you'd never see on a regular boat tour. Our guide Mehmet was fantastic, striking the perfect balance between safety and fun. The 30 minute ride flew by though we wished it was longer!

Incredible experience from start to finish! As a solo traveler, I was paired with a fun group and we all took turns driving. The hovercraft handles surprisingly well once you get the hang of it. Seeing the coastline from this perspective was magical. The hotel pickup was punctual and the equipment felt very safe. Worth every euro!

What a unique experience! None of us had tried hovercraft before but the instructors made it easy to learn. The ride itself was thrilling, skimming over the water at speed. We loved discovering secluded beaches, an unforgettable morning with my buddies.

Helpful? Yes

Our teenagers absolutely loved this, but it wasn't ideal for our whole family. The minimum age is 12, so our younger kids couldn't participate. The ride was exciting but quite loud, and my husband felt the seating was uncomfortable for taller people. Staff were professional but didn't offer much alternative for non riders.

We wanted something different from the usual boat trip, and this hovercraft safari was just the ticket. The guides were welcoming and explained everything clearly so even my 15-year-old felt confident right away. The ride itself was such a thrill — fast but not frightening, and skimming over the water felt completely different from anything we’ve done before. The teenagers especially loved zipping along the hidden inlets, and I enjoyed the chance to take in the scenery while still feeling the adrenaline. Transfers were smooth and stress-free, which made the whole day easier with kids in tow.

I booked this mainly out of curiosity, and it definitely was an unusual experience. The hovercraft is surprisingly easy to handle once you get the hang of the controls, and the safety briefing gave me confidence before heading out. The ride was fun and the coastal views were worth it, though I wished it lasted a bit longer than 30 minutes. Guides were professional and friendly, and the transfer service was reliable. For someone traveling solo, it’s a nice one-off adventure, but I probably wouldn’t repeat it.

We went as a group of five friends and had a fantastic time. The hovercraft ride was unlike anything we’d tried before — smooth but powerful, with enough speed to give you a real buzz. The scenery along the Manavgat River and out to the coast was gorgeous, and we managed to get some amazing photos when we paused in one of the inlets. The staff kept the atmosphere light and fun while making sure everything was safe. It was a shared adventure that had us laughing the whole way back.

My wife and I booked this as something adventurous to do together and it was well worth it. The hovercraft ride gave us a completely new way of seeing the coast, and the hidden inlets were a real treat. The guides were patient and gave clear instructions, which helped us enjoy it without stress. The only downside was that with the group size, we sometimes had to wait around before our turn at the controls. Still, overall it was an exciting and different way to spend a morning.

We were a little nervous about bringing our 8-year-old along, but the guides were excellent and reassured us about safety. The hovercraft felt stable and the pace was adjusted so everyone was comfortable. Our daughter thought it was “the coolest boat ever” and we all enjoyed the views of the golden sands and turquoise water. The private hotel pickup was a nice touch — no stress, just straight into the adventure. Definitely a memorable outing for the whole family.

I had high expectations, and while the hovercraft itself was interesting to try, the experience felt a bit short for the price. The training and safety part took longer than I expected, leaving less actual riding time. The guides were professional and friendly, and the transfers were convenient, but personally I would have liked more time exploring. It was good for a one-time experience, but I left feeling slightly underwhelmed.

This was easily the highlight of our trip. The hovercraft is such a unique way to travel, and the thrill of gliding over the water made everyone in our group smile. The guides kept things organized and made sure everyone got a chance to really enjoy the ride. We especially loved the moment when we cut across a secluded beach area — something you’d never reach otherwise. The whole setup felt very professional, and the transfers from our hotel were on time. It’s something we’ll be talking about for a long time.
