Located in the scenic Bay of Plenty region, Hamurana offers more than just lush landscapes and tranquil springs—it’s also home to Zombieland Paintball and Laser Tag, a standout destination for low-impact paintball enthusiasts of all ages. The Low Impact Paintball HUNTER Package delivers an exciting, approachable paintball experience designed especially for kids aged 8 and up, families, and first-time players.

Zombieland stands out because it balances thrill with accessibility. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to join the game, fostering a shared experience in a safe environment. Group sizes range from four to twenty-four players, ensuring a lively atmosphere without overwhelming newcomers. Participants receive 250 paintballs per game, along with all necessary gear including masks and guns, so there’s no hassle of bringing equipment.

This commitment means your adventure is rarely canceled, providing reliable outdoor fun. Just be sure to wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothes that can handle a bit of dirt, as running and dodging are part of the game.

Beyond paintball, Hamurana itself is a welcoming town with nearby natural attractions like the crystal-clear Hamurana Springs and forest walks. The area’s natural beauty makes it an excellent base for combining adventure and nature exploration. Zombieland’s focus on responsible play and clean energy on their fields highlights a dedication to environmental care that resonates well with visitors wanting sustainable outdoor recreation.
