ABOUT
Adventure Hunting’s private hunting block is a mix of rolling to steep contour with bush lined limestone bluffs and sheltered valleys in Franklin, South Auckland, New Zealand. We look to offer rewarding and authentic, hunting experiences, both within our exclusive hunting block, various other private and exclusive hunting locations around the country and guided hunts over DOC (Department of Conservation) land.
We have a wide range of Game species at Adventure Hunting including world class Red Stags and the rare “White” Red Stags, and we are dedicated to providing exclusive, customisable hunting experiences, tailored to your specific needs. This experience is not limited to anyone, and we will strive to provide the opportunity to anyone that is enthusiastic to try hunting, which is why we have developed packages to include everyone, families, parents and children, groups and disabilities are all welcome at Adventure Hunting.
We are going back to our roots, getting our feet on the ground and using traditional skills and instincts to help us along the way. This is what we aim to provide to all of our hunters, to give you a platform on which to build your own experience and knowledge.

Part of the reason we are so passionate about offering education and skills, is to prepare people for hunting on public DOC (Department of Conservation) land, and create a safe and more enjoyable environment for all hunters wanting to experience the fantastic landscapes and hunting NZ has to offer. Many novice hunters can find themselves in dangerous situations when not equipped with the vital knowledge necessary when going it alone. In New Zealand it is common to experience 4 seasons in a day, and this especially is what catches out many first time and even experienced hunters. By being ill prepared for the changing climate and weather conditions, and even misjudging how much water you will need for the trip are common mistakes made in NZ DOC hunting land. We offer education on preparation for the big trip to general health and safety when choosing to take an animal whilst considering your surroundings. If you decide you have hunted on private blocks before and are desperate to try hunting on DOC land in the wilderness, we offer guided hunts with all guides trained in advanced first aid, with full GPS and personal locating beacons to ensure your optimum safety, allowing you to responsibly hone your knowledge and experience before going it alone.
We have taken the steps necessary so that we can confidently say that your experience at Adventure Hunting is as safe as possible. In New Zealand there are currently no rules or regulations involved in becoming a hunting guide, which means legally, zero training or extensive experience is needed. This is a concerning subject to us, and can result in many guided hunts becoming seriously dangerous for all involved, especially when handling potentially dangerous equipment, and spending time in harsh and unpredictable terrain and climates.
Adventure Hunting are members of the NZ Professional Hunting Guides Association and are committed to staying up to date with provided knowledge and training. With all of our guides being trained and confident in advanced First Aid you can rest assured that you and your group are in safe and knowledgeable hands. With the help of a trusted and reliable affiliated Health and Safety company, Adventure Hunting have the expertise to guide action packed and exciting hunts whilst keeping your safety our number one priority. Whilst considering the risks and how to deal with them, this is a high risk activity and accidents can happen to the most experienced of hunters, therefore we have full liability insurance in place to cover the possibility of damage or accident.
If you’re passionate about spending time and learning in the beautiful NZ landscape, we have a wide range of packages available. Our Non Kill experiences allow anyone to join in without the pressure of hunting if you’re not ready for it. These experiences offer groups or individuals to enjoy the beauty of nature as hunters do, whether you are a keen photographer or just a lover of the outdoors, we can help. Our professionals are passionate about what they do, and can offer extensive knowledge and training in all aspects of hunting. Whether that is travelling through bush and open land quietly and effectively, camping, rifle and bow use or cleaning your kill and wilderness cooking. We offer a range of experiences as well as hunting.
