Looking for that adventure your kid will never forget? The Christmas or Birthday present they will talk about for years? Bushman Shaun's Parent & Child Bush Experience is an opportunity for you two (or more) to connect and spend a special moment in our glorious New Zealand Bush.

If you want to experience a true Backcountry Adventure blended with expert coaching on hunting and bush skills, then there is simply no better place than Bushman Tours.

NO previous hunting experience and no firearms license required, just determination and passion for the outdoors. Bushman Shaun is a seasoned Hunting Coach and Outdoor Adventurer who has guided families into the untouched backcountry of New Zealand for years. This tour would suit those new to hunting, both international visitors and locals.

Trips are fully guided and include four-wheel driving, camping and hiking, as well as coaching on bushcraft, conservation and mountain safety. You don't need a firearms licence or any previous experience.
Learn about firearms safety, shoot a target and maybe even try your luck at hunting a wild deer or pig with no pressure on individuals to do anything they don’t feel comfortable with.

There is no age restriction, however, you need to be able and willing to walk up and down some hills. Your guide will adjust the challenges to your capabilities and encourage you to build self-confidence and strengthen your parent/child relationship. No cell or internet reception.
