Archery

An ancient sport that will try your skill and eye! Who can shoot closest to the bullseye? Children are intrigued by the bow and arrow and love to compete with one another to score the most points. School groups are a speciality of Hanmer Springs Adventure Centre.

This guided activity takes about 2 hours and includes:
  • Safety Instruction
  • How to use the bow and arrow
  • 30 mins target shooting in the safety lanes
  • Balloon target shooting – pop all the balloons!
  • Champion Archer shoot-off
$20.00 per child - accompanying adults attend for no charge

Mountain Biking

We are New Zealand’s largest mountain bike adventure company, with over 10 years’ experience in providing guided adventure programmes to schools. Our 2 hour guided mountain bike package takes school age children through the Hanmer Forest, exploring the tracks with opportunities to see native and exotic flora and birdlife while enjoying the “great outdoors”.

Great for confidence building, this activity is fully guided. Children are fitted with approved cycle helmets and mountain bikes to suit their size. A full briefing is given covering bike and road safety. There are opportunities for short breaks during the ride. Accompanying adults are provided with free bikes (one per ten paying students). 

From $25.00
