Nestled in the heart of Kelowna, Lakeside Eco-Sports was born from Gareth and Pam’s shared passion for outdoor adventure and sustainability. Inspired by the stunning Okanagan landscape, they envisioned a business that would allow visitors to explore the region’s natural beauty while making a positive impact on the environment.
Sustainability in Every Turn
From the beginning, Lakeside Eco-Sports has integrated sustainable practices into its operations. In 2024, solar energy was introduced to power the e-bike fleet, aligning each ride with the company’s commitment to reducing carbon footprints. The e-bike tours are designed to foster an appreciation of nature while minimizing environmental impact, offering an experience that is as eco-friendly as it is memorable.
Looking ahead, Lakeside Eco-Sports is excited to introduce an electric vehicle to its operations. This next step will support logistical needs while further reducing the business’s reliance on traditional fuel sources. Whether for transporting customers and equipment or enhancing tour support, this initiative underscores their mission to lead the way in sustainable tourism.
Connecting the Community Through Sustainability
Lakeside Eco-Sports is deeply committed to fostering meaningful connections between sustainability and community. By collaborating with local wineries, restaurants, and artisans, they support the local economy and showcase the vibrant culture of the Okanagan. These partnerships not only enhance the guest experience but also emphasize the importance of supporting environmentally conscious businesses.
The team at Lakeside Eco-Sports takes sustainability beyond the trails. Through both guided and self-guided tours, rich in cultural and environmental insights, the company fosters a deeper connection between visitors and the land. By partnering with local organizations, they continue to grow their role as a green ambassador for Kelowna, inspiring both locals and travelers to embrace eco-conscious living.
