5.0 True Grip Off Road (1.790 reviews)
- A fantastic gift experience
Monday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM 4WD, ATV & Off-Road Tours

I purchased a 2 hour session for my husband to learn how to drive his Toyota Hilux as an off road experience. We were greeted by Grant on our arrival and right away I knew we were in great hands. He had read up on the particular model of truck which we found impressive and right away he gave lots of information about the truck's performance and possible capabilities. Grant's way of teaching was really good and he made everything very understandable. The actual off-road track was great as well and the 2 hours flew past. Thank you very much for the experience - you made my hubby Bill very happy! See more..

5.0 Spitfires.com "The Spitfire Academy" (711 reviews)
- An outstanding, memorable and affordable warbird experience
Monday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Air Tours

I have to give huge thanks and a massive thumbs up to Nigel and the Team at Goodwood for one of the greatest days I've had. Even as qualified pilots (I flew in with my Son for his 22nd Birthday in a Dehavilland Chipmunk) this was an outstanding experience for us both that I will remember for a long time. Nigel took great care to ensure we understood all that we needed to know to get the most benefit from the time we had and calmly talked us through the various manoeuvres as we were flying the Sim. No restrictions on phots, or videos-we took these ourselves, which is a great bonus as so often this is banned so that companies make more money from customers selling their own pics. I would highly recommend this to fliers and non-fliers alike for a very affordable warbird experience. I'll see you again!! See more..

The pre-trip safety talk was perfect and Covid-19 compliant. John did a truly fantastic job of guiding us on to the boat and sharing local knowledge and sights on the way. The speed of the boat was breathtaking - a great experience enjoyed by myself, my wife and two sons. I would highly recommend this trip and it has made me want to try the longer trip towards Brighton and the Wind Farm. See more..
