Hold On Tight: Inflatable Towables Blast Across Upper Lough Erne
A concise field guide to the Share Discovery Village towables — 30 minutes of high-speed, group inflatable rides on Upper Lough Erne and the practical details you need to arrive ready.
Hold On Tight: Inflatable Towables Blast Across Upper Lough Erne.
On Upper Lough Erne, inflatable towables — race car, spinera and banana boat — are pulled at speed across glassy water for a short, intense burst of adrenaline. This guide distils what to expect from the 30-minute sessions run by Share Discovery Village and how to plan so you lose nothing to logistics or missed timing.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Thirty minutes of high-speed splashes
Sessions run as a focused 30-minute towable experience on Upper Lough Erne: climb aboard an inflatable race car, spinera or banana boat and hold on as a high-powered speed boat tows the group across open water.
Shared thrills for a small crew
Towables are designed for group play — the inflatables accommodate up to six people, making the activity a short, social adrenaline hit rather than an individual endurance test.
Upper Lough Erne’s sheltered waterways
The activity takes place on the sheltered expanses of Upper Lough Erne, where fast towables can be run safely from the Share Discovery Village waterfront.
What the day feels like
What the session actually feels like
A towable session is compact and kinetic: after a pre-ride briefing you'll board the inflatable with your group, feel the chest-deep wake and sudden acceleration as the speed boat drives off, then ride, spin and (often) tumble into the water before returning to the jetty — all within a thirty-minute block.

Practical planner
Details to review before reserving
Arrive 30 minutes before your booked session to change into a wetsuit and complete briefing and disclaimers; late arrivals risk missing the session.
When you arrive at Share Discovery Village, go directly to the waterfront to meet your instructors.
Each towable session is a 30-minute block for up to six people; if more than six attend the instructor will return to the jetty and swap riders. (Bookings are sold as one group towable session per space.)
Bring shoes that can get wet. Allow the 30 minutes pre-session to change into a wetsuit and sign disclaimers.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
