Landeez Wheelchair hire

You can enjoy a day at the beach, park, or anywhere else on the Island. The Landeez all-terrain wheelchair allows you to go where conventional wheelchairs can't. It is designed especially for outdoor use and to make closer contact with nature.

We are happy to make these wheelchairs available for use and to aid inclusion on schools trips and group outings. You can hire a chair for a morning or an afternoon free of charge, with a refundable deposit. The deposit of £25 covers up to one day per week for your family.

There are two wheelchairs available for hire from:

• Dinosaur Isle, Sandown
• Sandown Lifeguard Station

To hire a Landeez wheelchair, call 01983 404344, or contact us to learn more about these facilities and charges.
