We really enjoyed this, highly recommend, we will definitely be going back, great activity people of all skill levels,

  This was just the most awesome family experience. Totally unique and very memorable. Markus is a true master and had us quickly grasping the basics and safety instructions at the... read more target range. Then the Dragon Hunt itself was awesome. It’s set in beautiful native forest. There are different levels to shoot from so it’s an activity that suits everyone in the group. We were there for more than 4 hours so it’s great value. Our so so feedback afterwards it’s that it was the “best experience ever”. We had agreed time and would highly recommend this trip. Do it! You’ll love it!!

  an impressive archery experience guided by an amazing coach, must visit at archery park again, it is a fantastic activity for kids.

  Marcus was amazing - we were in a stunning forest with new found archery skills. Would definitely recommend and will come back with the whole family for another go.

  Our party of four (ages 25, 57, 57, and 84) had such fun at the dragon hunt today. Markus was a knowledgable, fun, and passionate instructorguide who clearly loves what... read more he does. We started out with about an hour of instruction in a small field, aiming at bullseye targets attached to bales. I was surprised how quickly we went from missing-by-a-mile to being able to usually hit the target. Then we headed a bit further up the hill in a small van, before hiking into the bush carrying our bows and arrows. After a bit of scramble up narrow and sometimes steep paths, we arrived at our first "real" target: a realistic fake goat. We'd each get a chance to shoot up to 3 arrows at the target. Then on to the next targets, which included dragons, beavers, deer, and even a rat! By the end, we were happily tired out, and very much enjoyed what the cafe at the base had to offer. For any older people considering this activity: my mom at 84 was apparently the oldest person who has done it so far. She is reasonably fit for her age. The hiking part was just within the limits of her capabilities. Out of our party of 4, one is a local guide in Abel Tasman and she loved the dragon hunt. The rest of us have been touring NZ for 7 weeks, returning to the USEurope in a couple of days. Today was an absolute highlight of our trip.

  Went on a mother/daughter experience together. We had plenty of time to get our skills perfected enough on the targets before going 'bush'. With only a small group and excellent... read more tutoring from Markus we were hitting a few wild beast (no animals harmed) in no time! A great mix of archery and walking through the stunning native forest. Would highly recommend this activity.

  The Dragon hunt archery was a great experience. You really get the feeling of being a lone hunter surving in the jungle. A great mix between shooting bows and hiking... read more so you never get bored. The guide was really nice and his ability to teach archery makes you shoot a bow decently accurate in no time. Even with no previous experience.
If you have time to spare I'd definitely recommend it.

  Took the younger brother out to the forest to shoot some dragons with longbows.... Enough said! Had a blast and Markus is really knowledgable and a great teacher. You will... read more be nailing targets in no time! Give it a try, you won't regret it.

  Headed out with some mates for a morning session with Markus. This would have to be the most fun I have had in a long time. By the end of... read more the session we were all beaming ear to ear and on such a high form the outstanding experience Markus provides!

If you are in Nelson you need to try this out - as this can not be experienced like this anywhere else in NZ.

Well done Markus!
