Lakeside Hotel eBike Loops: Guided 3‑Hour Rides Around Lough Derg — for Hotel Guests Only.
From the low hills of East Clare to the shoreline of Lough Derg, the Lakeside Hotel guided eBike tours deliver short, curated explorations designed for guests of all ages. Choose from four distinct routes—each built around local towns, crafts and lakeside viewpoints—with eBikes provided and optional extended rentals for riders who want to press the adventure further.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Four short, scenic loops
Each guided option runs roughly three hours and focuses on a different strand of the region: market towns and craft stops, Shannon‑side riding, lakeshore villages and upland viewpoints, or a shore ride that links to a boat trip to Inis Cealtra (seasonal).
Small guided groups with included eBikes
Tours are limited to six guests per group; the listed price covers an eBike (available in small, medium and large), and there is a family group rate for larger bookings. Under‑18s must be accompanied by an adult and meet the minimum height for the small bike.
Crafts, coffee and a pilgrimage island
Routes call at local craft producers and cafés on the way back to lakeside views; one option includes a boat trip to Inis Cealtra (Holy Island) where riders have about an hour ashore to visit monastic ruins, with the boat supplement handled as part of that tour.
What the day feels like
What the ride feels like
These are purposeful, three‑hour loops—short enough to be accessible to families, long enough to take in village lanes, craft stops and lake panoramas. Each ride is guided by Lough Derg eBike Tours staff and tailored to the chosen route, offering a paced mix of lowland cycling, shoreline stretches and, on certain options, upland viewpoints or a brief boat transfer to a historic island.
