Hovertravel's Hoverbus is the perfect way to travel around Portsmouth and Southsea. Not only will the Hoverbus take you to and from the Hoverport at Southsea Seafront for your quick and easy trips to the Isle of Wight, but it will also take you around Portsmouth & Southsea.
The Hoverbus operates a circular route from Southsea Terminal to:
- Portsmouth's The Hard Interchange for Portsmouth Harbour Station, Gosport Ferry, Gunwharf Quays, Historic Dockyard and Spinnaker Tower;
- Commercial Road - for Portsmouth & Southsea Station, Cascades Shopping Centre, The Guildhall and City Museum.
- Returning to Southsea Terminal via bus stops for the University buildings and Southsea Shopping Centre.
Passengers are able to alight and board the bus at stops along the bus route, in addition to those shown on our timetable.
The Hoverbus is designed to connect with both the arrival and departure of the hovercraft, however this can't always be guaranteed due to (but not limited to) traffic or late arrivals of the Hovercraft.
The Hoverbus Route is operated by Stagecoach and all passage is subject to Stagecoach terms and conditions.
