2027 NATIONALS EVENT INFORMATION

2–3 April 2027 | Lake Ruataniwha, Twizel

The NZDBA Dragon Boat Nationals are heading to the stunning South Island, and we couldn’t be more excited! Hosting Nationals at Lake Ruataniwha will be a new and rewarding experience, and it will take a combined effort from our entire Dragon Boating community to make it a success. We know we’re up for the challenge and what a spectacular destination to work towards!

More information will be released in the coming months as planning progresses.
