Singapore Dragon Boat Association - 10 Stadium Ln

Best place to learn canoeing and dragonboating

One of the few places to do dragonboating in Singapore. If you want to dragonboat for an event or with a group you have to make an appointment before hand and everyone has to be certified to be able to row because dragonboating can be dangerous if the boat capsizes.

Very friendly and helpful people.

Fun activities, perfect for company team building. Well it will be less fun if it's raining. You may need to wait under the bridge for hour and ended up you didn't do anything. PS; if you've extra time / when it's training request for a dragon boat battle (normally they do this in the pool)

It's a wonderful place for Dragon boating the water slightly dirty but had great fun there
