Bucks Paintball Wanaka

Adrenaline junkies, listen up! Wicked Bucks has just the activity for you. Paintball is an activity that will test your stealth, aim, courage and pain tolerance. It’s the ultimate way to separate the boys from the men, and let’s face it – it’s always fun to whip your friends with a paintball or two. It’s all in the name of a good time, of course.

Strap on your running shoes, leave your high-pitched squeals at home and get ready to battle it out in Wanaka’s epic outdoor paintball playground. It’s an activity featured in plenty of Hollywood movies, it was a popular choice for high-school parties, and it’s probably the closest you’ll ever get to feeling like a real-life spy. Instead of letting it sit on your bucket list for another decade, tick this activity off in honour of the soon-to-be-groom. 

After arriving at the venue, you’ll be kitted up with a full-body suit, a state-of-the-art rifle and stacks of ammunition. Following a quick briefing from the on-site experts, you’ll be split into teams and sent head-to-head on the ten acres of open fields.

Whether you subscribe to the philosophy of accuracy through volume or you’ve actually got a knack for the sport, this wild terrain will put your skills to the test. You’ll be ducking and weaving around obstacles, sneaking up behind opponents and firing your paint pellets in every direction. The aim of the game is to disarm the opposing team’s base, smashing as many players as possible with paintballs along the way.

It might feel like a totally out-of-control and wild experience, but we boast a tight safety record too. It’s a win-win for everyone.
