New Zealand Hunting
New Zealand
hunting is a premium, continually-available experience in what is
described by visitors as the most beautiful country in the
world. An island nation, the spectacular scenery of New
Zealand ranges from lush valleys, rolling green hills and
magnificent, snow-covered mountain Alps towering above dense
forests. In the absence of natural predators, wildlife
populations flourish. Kiwi hospitality is ubiquitous,
weather is nearly always sunshine-gorgeous, and smiles are
contagious.
Boredom is not an option; the word doesn't even exist in New Zealand. There is plenty for non-hunters and hunters to do before, during and after scheduled hunt dates: spas, massages and beauty treatments in New Zealand's famous hot thermal pools are available to relax before, during or after hunts. Golf, forest walks, horse treks, jet boat rides, rafting, 4 wheel bike trails, and for the more adventurous - bungy jumping! Foremost among perfect family vacation are New Zealand hunting trips. With hunting packages on both the North Island and the South Island, guests may combine New Zealand upland bird and duck hunting, big game hunting and angling during a single trip. Gidday Mate!
