SAFEST RIDE ON ICE
Hovercraft fly on an 8-inch cushion of air making the vehicle capable of safely traveling on land, water, ice, thin & broken ice and any relatively smooth surface.
Our pilots are Master Operators with thousands of hours of experience ensuring you have the best possible ride.
​
Interesting Fact: Fire departments prefer hovercraft for ice rescue because they can safely traverse any thickness of ice safely & securely.

My husband, 9 year old daughter and I took a tour last weekend and really enjoyed it. It was nice to see some of the backwater channels and lots of water foul. Different than just a regular speedboat. The captain took us through some very shallow areas and even over some sand. Fun experience for my family.

I was woried about the "360 spin" portion of the ride. Nothing to worry about. Its smooth and graceful. I will do this again with more of my friends.
