This was hands down one of the most unique things I have ever done on a trip. I have tried jet skis and boat tours before but riding a hovercraft was something completely new and absolutely amazing. The staff were really friendly and made me feel at ease right away, especially since I was travelling alone. They gave us a proper introduction on how to use the hovercrafts and it was not nearly as tricky as I expected. Once we were out on the water, it felt like pure freedom gliding over the beach and waves while seeing parts of the coast that you would never find otherwise. You can tell they put a lot of thought into making this both safe and exciting. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something different while visiting the Antalya area.

This was truly one of the most remarkable and unforgettable activities we’ve ever tried. You can choose between riding solo or with a partner, and our 16 year old daughter even got to drive on her own with an instructor’s guidance. I highly recommend this if you’re visiting the Side area.

Excellent service and a lot of fun. It takes a bit of practice at the beginning, but after a few laps it becomes amazing. If you miss a turn, the team is right there to help you get back on track. I’d gladly do it again without hesitation and highly recommend it. At the end, there are good shower facilities available, and you can get some great photos. It’s a good idea to bring a change of clothes or wear swim trunks.
