Watch the Dragon Boats in V&A Waterfront, Cape Town (original) (raw)
The Cape Town Dragon Boat Racing Club have their practice sessions from Mondays to Thursdays - if you are at the V&A Waterfront at this time, head to the slipway at the east end of the Cape Grace and see them take off - it's quite a spectacle to see them at the Waterfont.
We welcome people who wish to join our club on a permanent basis - visiting paddlers from Dragon Boat clubs elsewhere are welcome to join in club sessions.
Please note:
For tourist trips around the harbour please contact one of the V&A Tour Boat Companies. We recommend Tigger 2 Charters which has been operating at the Waterfront for over 20 years!
