E-Bikes, Lake Views & Wine Stops: The Perfect Kelowna Day with Lakeside Eco-Sports

Lakeside Eco-Sports: A Family-Friendly Way to Explore Kelowna (The Eco-Conscious, Wine-Lover Edition)

If you’re visiting Kelowna and you want a day that feels fun, easy, and meaningful—think lake views, fresh air, a little adventure, and maybe a winery stop—Lakeside Eco-Sports was built for exactly that.

Founded in 2022 by husband-and-wife team Gareth Brown and Pamela Castillo, Lakeside Eco-Sports grew from a shared belief: the best travel experiences should respect the places we love. With over two decades in international tourism, they spent years designing guest experiences in some of the world’s most sensitive environments—from coastlines to reefs—where sustainability wasn’t a buzzword, it was a daily responsibility. That perspective shaped the business they wanted to build: one that helps people connect with nature and community while keeping impact low.

They found the perfect home for that vision in Kelowna, British Columbia—where outdoor adventure and local culture go hand-in-hand. Lakeside Eco-Sports is located in Downtown Kelowna on Bernard Avenue, just steps from Okanagan Lake, waterfront paths, great restaurants, and family-friendly spots. It’s an ideal starting point: you can begin downtown and be rolling into scenic routes, vineyard country, and Okanagan landscapes within minutes—no complicated logistics, no long drives just to begin.

Lakeside curates premium e-bike experiences that work for a wide range of ages and comfort levels—perfect for families, multi-generational trips, and groups with mixed energy levels. The beauty of an e-bike is simple: you can go farther with less strain. That means parents aren’t exhausted, kids stay engaged, and grandparents can still join the fun. Choose a guided tour for local insight and an easy, supported day out—or go self-guided if you’d rather explore at your own pace with plenty of photo stops.

For eco-conscious travelers, e-biking is also one of the most enjoyable ways to keep your footprint low while still seeing a ton of beautiful terrain. Lakeside’s approach is all about thoughtful, low-impact travel, and they collaborate with like-minded local and regional partners who care about quality and sustainability.

And for wine lovers: yes, the wineries can absolutely be part of the plan 🍇. Lakeside offers seasonal wine and culinary journeys that blend fresh-air exploration with the stops that make a day feel like a treat—equal parts active and indulgent, without feeling rushed. Beyond summer, you’ll also find seasonal adventures, including winter experiences and heritage-inspired activities like gold panning—a hands-on favorite for families.

Even better, Lakeside Eco-Sports is a proud participating business on www.bugme.travel. When you purchase the BugMe.Travel Road Trip Pass, you unlock 20% savings with Lakeside Eco-Sports—making it even easier to build a trip packed with authentic local experiences while keeping your budget (and your footprint) in check.
