GettingtoRydeissoeasy.Hovertravel’s hovercraft runs mostly every 30 minutes from Southsea, and it’s quick too - just 10 minutes to reach Ryde. If you’re coming from Portsmouth city centre, or the rail station, there is a frequent ‘Hoverbus’ shuttle direct to the hovercraft port in Southsea.

Alternatively, Wightlink’s catamaran leaves fromPortsmouth Harbour station and runs up to every 30 minutes to Ryde Pier Head. Both routes are just a short walk to the bus station.

There are frequent trains to Portsmouth Harbour from London, Brighton and the south coast, Gatwick Airport, South Wales and Cardiff, Bristol and Bath, Salisbury and Southampton.

The Downs breezer leaves every 30 minutes between 0925 and 1655 every day until the end of August. Hop on and off anywhere along the route using your 24-hour ticket, which also gives you unlimited travel on all our buses right across the island.

You can also get to and from the island on Wightlink’s ferry from Portsmouth to Fishbourne (a 15 minute walk from our Downs Breezer Fishbourne Lane stop), from Southampton to Cowes by Red Funnel’s Red Jet, or from Lymington to Yarmouth on Wightlink’s car ferry.

Use our frequent buses via Newport to get to Ryde for a great family day out exploring even more of the island.
