Located in Hamurana, New Zealand, the Paintball HUNTER Package puts you squarely in the heart of pulse-racing action on the Western Ghost Town Field. This adrenaline-packed adventure invites groups of 4 to 24 players to dive into a uniquely immersive paintball experience blending teamwork with a primal thrill: the hunt. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, gearing up for a stag party, or building bonds with coworkers, this two-round, 20-minute session promises both intensity and unforgettable memories. The Western Ghost Town Field—a rugged, intentionally designed battlefield—offers terrain that challenges your strategy and stamina, from derelict structures to open runways that test your agility and marksmanship.
Paintball here taps into an outdoor tradition dating back to 1980, born from a simple contest between friends testing their tracking skills with tree marking pistols. Today, this location keeps that spirit alive by equipping you with 250 paintballs, a mask, poncho, gloves, and a rental gun, all designed for maximum safety and fun. The gear protects you while you take cover, sprint, and outmaneuver opponents in a game that demands quick thinking alongside physical endurance.
Why is this experience a standout in the Bay of Plenty region? Beyond the thrill, it connects players to an expansive outdoor recreational area rarely seen in conventional paintball venues. The natural backdrop blends grassland with wooded patches and ghost-town remnants, providing diverse scenarios that make each game unpredictable and exciting. This diversity in setting supports varied tactics and keeps every player engaged whether you prefer stealth, speed, or head-on confrontation.
The nearby town of Rotorua offers convenient accommodations and enriches the trip with local culture and amenities when you’re off-field. Arriving 10 minutes early ensures a smooth check-in and gear fitting to maximize your game time. Zombieland, the operator of this package, has earned its place in the local adventure scene by maintaining top-tier safety standards and fostering a welcoming environment where players of different skill levels can thrive.
The activity runs rain or shine, embracing New Zealand's sometimes unpredictable weather, with cancellation only for safety concerns. Extra paintballs can be purchased if you’re eager to extend the hunt, and a BBQ area can be reserved to celebrate afterward. Whether seasoned hunter or first-timer, this package lets you experience the rugged outdoor sport of paintball in a uniquely atmospheric and well-supported venue, making it an unmissable stop for thrill-seekers visiting Hamurana.
