Dunedin city

Harbour Basin

In past years, Dragon Boat events have been run in the Dunedin harbour basin.

This is a relatively short course (around 300m) but is really good for spectator involvement as people can watch from three sides of the course.

The site has really good parking and public access as well as promotional visibility.

Another option is further north by the Rowing Clubs, but that course is much more out of the way for spectators (hard to find and difficult for parking etc). There are also train tracks running parallel with the shore all the way along the course.
