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.

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:

Effective communication and cooperation

Quick thinking under pressure

BUILD A BOAT
DESIGN, BUILD
AND RACE YOUR
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?
