These dragon boat sessions generally take place from June to September each year at Graham’s Grove Park, Prince Albert Rd. in Dartmouth.

About Dragon Boating

A dragon boat is a 40-foot long boat, with 20 benches. Two paddlers sit on each bench, one on the left, and one on the right. It is a flat bottomed very stable boat. There is a coach/steersperson standing in the back.

Sessions are open to you and a guide. We like to have a one to one ratio of sighted and non-sighted paddlers, so we are happy to provide a bench mate for you, but would ask that you please let us know in advance that you will be coming and need a partner.

What You Need to Know                                                                                              

• Sessions are free.
• Lifejackets and paddles will be provided.
• Wear clothing and footwear that can get wet, preferably in layers so you can adjust.
• If you have a service dog, we can arrange for a dog watcher if you let us know in advance.
• We do not cancel in inclement weather, with the exception of lightning.
