What is Dragon Boating?

 

Dragon boating is a fun, safe, and inclusive team sport-perfect for companies seeking a unique team-building experience. 

 

A dragon boat is a long, narrow vessel that holds up to 20 paddlers working in unison to move the boat forward.

​

Success depends on the same principles that drive the workplace: cooperation, communication, and commitment. The experience builds camaraderie, confidence, and a shared sense of accomplishment.

​

At DragonFire, dragon boating is our signature event. As passionate dragon boaters ourselves, we love sharing the thrill and team-building power of the sport with our clients.

​​

​

How it Works

  • Onshore Demo & Coaching - Our facilitators provide clear instructions and guidance.

  • On the Water - Teams practice paddling in unison, to build synchronicity in preparation for races.


  • The Race! – Teams put what they’ve learned to the test in the final race to top off the program.

Mini Olympics
Our Mini Olympics program is a favourite amongst our clients and can be played almost anywhere; on the beach, on a lawn or field, in a ballroom or meeting space, or we can even adapt it to an office environment.

 

Teams compete in a fast-paced round-robin tournament, moving from game to game and playing the other teams. Our games range from lower to higher intensity, which means we can customize a game program best suited to your team.

 

And we are all about keeping it fresh and new – constantly updating our game line-up (and ditching the same old tired games!) in favour of unique and exciting new experiences for our clients.

 

Learning Outcomes and Benefits
Our Mini Olympics isn’t just fun – it’s also carefully designed to support key business outcomes, including:

  • ï‚· Effective communication and cooperation

  • ï‚· Quick thinking under pressure

  • ï‚· Team spirit and motivation

  • ï‚· Positive group energy

OWN BOAT

Can your team build a BOAT THAT FLOATS — and wins?


Put your creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills to the test in this hands-on challenge!


Each team will receive a standard set of materials (yes, including cardboard!) and a set of basic guidelines. With a little physics, a lot of imagination, and some smart teamwork, your mission is to design and build a seaworthy vessel.


When time’s up, it’s down to the water’s edge to launch and race your boat in a short shoreline course. Will your design hold up — or sink spectacularly?
