Alpine stalking in some of the most dramatic country on earth
For APEX, the Pacific Rim means New Zealand, a destination that combines world-class alpine hunting with landscapes few places can match. Terrain ranges from high alpine basins to rolling hills and river valleys, with a blend of private land access and expansive open country.
Red Stag are the country’s most iconic species, joined by Tahr and Chamois in the high country, and Fallow Deer and Sambar Deer at lower elevations. Most hunts are conducted using spot-and-stalk methods, glassing open faces and steep basins before closing the distance.
New Zealand also suits travellers who want more than the hunt. Non-hunting guests can enjoy sightseeing, hiking and exploring the country’s renowned landscapes, and accommodation ranges from comfortable lodges to remote mountain camps. We match each trip to the species, season and level of physical challenge you want, and plan the travel so the long journey south is worth every mile.
