Team Building on a Dragon Boat

Looking for an activity that combines sport, adventure, discovery and sustainability? The Dragon Boat, a boat that can carry up to 20 people, is the ideal experience and brings your teams closer together.

What is a dragon boat?

A true vessel steered by a helmsman, the Dragon Boat bears a dragon’s head. Two rows of 10 seats accommodate the paddlers. The drummer, seated facing the crew, uses a drum to set the rhythm and help teammates stay in sync. A genuinely popular sport in China, it combines values of cohesion, coordination and exchange. It is an ideal sport for building team spirit and pushing your limits: a perfect team building for your corporate groups.

Team Building Challenge

Teams compete in a race that takes them to the port of the Darsena in Milan. During this challenge, your colleagues will be “in the same boat” and will need to show team spirit to win the race. Motivation and coordination will also be the keys to victory!

A team of experienced professionals supervises the activity and creates a real competitive atmosphere, with drums marking the rhythm and flags flying on the boats. A lunch, an aperitif or a simple gourmet break with Italian gelato can be arranged at the end of the activity.

Duration: approximately 2h
Languages: English – Italian – French on request
Times: On request
Meeting point: In the Navigli district
Minimum: 6 people – Maximum: 160 people

Price: from €40,00 per person

The Treasure Hunt was extremely well organised, fun and a great way to discover the beautiful city of Rome while bringing our team together.

A special thank you to Julia, Anna and Irene for their professionalism, enthusiasm, flexibility and excellent support throughout the entire organisation.

Everything went smoothly, from the planning and transportation to the activity itself.

I highly recommend BeyondRoma for corporate events and team-building activities!

Thank you again for making our experience in Rome so memorable! 😊

 Trustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. La chasse au trésor de Rome m'avait été recommandée par une collègue et je n'ai vraiment pas regretté cette activité.
La prise de contact avec l'équipe a été particulièrement fluide et sympathique.

Les enfants ont adoré lire les indices, trouver les animaux, la maison des grimaces a été particulièrement appréciée ainsi que les stylos Legami.
Je craignais de "m'ennuyer " lors de cette activité mais j'ai été agréablement surprise de trouver au dos de chaque carte des explications plus poussées pour les parents. Le format, la durée étaient parfaitement adaptés et j'ai apprécié pouvoir rythmer la chasse selon les aléas (fatigue, pluie, faim ...)

 Trustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. We recently worked with BeyondRoma to organise a corporate team event in Rome, and we could not be more impressed with the experience from start to finish.

From the outset, BeyondRoma demonstrated exceptional attention to detail — organising the printing of our booklets seamlessly and curating two wonderful tours of Rome that were both engaging and memorable for the entire group. The choice of restaurant for our team dinner on the final evening was simply outstanding — a perfect setting that brought the whole trip to a brilliant close.

What truly set BeyondRoma apart was how they handled the unexpected. As a group, we had several changes to the schedule, and Maia managed every adjustment with remarkable professionalism and composure. Nothing was too much trouble, and she ensured that everything continued to run smoothly despite the changes.

Maia was an absolute pleasure to work with — personable, warm, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire event. Her dedication and positive attitude made a real difference to the overall experience.

We would wholeheartedly recommend BeyondRoma to any organisation looking to plan a corporate event. They deliver on every level — logistics, experience, and exceptional personal service

 Trustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. Une superbe expérience à faire pour découvrir Rome, ses petites ruelles, ses places, ses diverses fontaines et de façon ludique. Les enfants sont restés captivé tout au long de la chasse aux trésors et cela a permis aux parents de profiter d'un bon moment et d'en apprendre également sur Rome.
L'équipe est top, à l'écoute et disponible, on se sent guidé.

Encore Merci BeyondRoma 🙏

What Are the Terms in Case of Modification or Cancellation?

As every event is unique, cancellation terms depend on the constraints of our local partners (hotels, private venues or sites with strictly named ticketing such as the Colosseum). They are always communicated to you clearly and transparently in your quote and your contract.

Agency fees: Once the contract is signed and the first deposit is paid, agency fees are considered definitively earned and non-refundable, even if the suppliers offer free cancellation.
Supplier services: Cancellation of services (accommodation, activities, guides) follows the specific schedule set out in your contract, depending on the date the cancellation is notified.

Which Payment Methods Do You Accept?

We offer two secure payment methods:

Bank transfer (SEPA or international): This is the preferred payment method. Any fees charged by your bank for the transaction remain your responsibility.
Credit card: You can pay directly online via our ultra-secure partner platform Stripe. Note: a 3,9% transaction fee for card payments applies to the total amount.

Can I Book Directly on the Website?

No, it is not possible to book or pay directly online.

Unlike automated booking platforms (such as GetYourGuide or Viator), we do not offer standardized services. Every corporate event or trip is unique: we build an entirely tailor-made program to ensure the real availability of our local partners, check the logistical feasibility of your project and adapt the terms to the specific needs of your group. After you share your wishes via the “Talk About My Project” button or confirm “My Selection”, a dedicated project manager refines your requirements with you before sending you a detailed quote.
