Ivory Cliffs Estate Hunting Packages

At Ivory Cliffs Estate, our suite of hunting packages is the culmination of meticulous planning, specifically designed to capture the essence of the premier hunting experiences New Zealand is renowned for. We have curated these offerings around the most popular species, with a core focus on the Red Stag, and the challenging pursuits of the iconic South Island Tahr and Chamois in their breathtaking alpine environments.

Premium, stress-free, and transparent hunting adventure

The entire philosophy behind these packages, driven by director Liam Quinn, is centered on providing a truly premium, stress-free, and transparent hunting adventure. We firmly believe that a luxury experience should not be marred by continuous, unexpected charges. Therefore, every single one of our package prices is deliberately structured as all-inclusive for the hunter. The only exceptions to this all-inclusive pricing are those items outside of our direct control.

Bespoke hunting packages

While we offer these signature packages that represent the best of New Zealand hunting, we recognize that the discerning hunter often has a unique vision. We are committed to ensuring your dream hunt is realized. If you desire a specific combination of species, duration, or a particular hunting style not featured in our standard offerings, we encourage you to contact us. We are pleased to offer a personalized, one-on-one consultation to tailor-make a bespoke hunting package that perfectly aligns with your unique requirements and expectations, guaranteeing an adventure customized just for you.

More About Our Hunting Packages

Tailored Hunting Experience

Ivory Cliffs Estate Tailored Hunting Experience Our Tailored Hunting Experience is a "Price On Request" (POR) package, which initiates a personal consultation with our dedicated hunting concierge and director, Liam Quinn. This is not a transaction; it is a collaborative design process. We will tailor every detail of your itinerary to your exact requirements, including:

  • Trophy Specifications
    Pinpointing the size and characteristics of the animal you wish to pursue.
  • Duration and Timing
    Aligning the hunt perfectly with the optimal times for the chosen species.
  • Accommodation Preferences
    Customizing lodging, whether at the North Island lodge or our exclusive South Island bases.
  • Logistics and Enhancements
    Integrating private charters, bespoke touring, or specialized guiding ratios.

The POR designation is primarily reserved for two distinct categories:

  1. The Largest Trophy Red Stags
     Stags scoring from 475 - well over 900” SCI, these represent the absolute pinnacle of our genetics and management. These magnificent animals are highly sought after, and a hunt for a trophy of this caliber is not a standard package; it is a bespoke safari, custom-built around the specific time of year, duration, and hunting style required to secure such a Stag. We require a direct consultation to discuss your specific vision and to ensure we can perfectly align our resources to your goal.
  2. Custom Safaris and Unique Combinations
    Beyond the largest Red Stags, the POR option applies to specialized requests, such as high-scoring Elk (Wapiti), premium combination hunts not listed in our standard options, or extended stays requiring a unique itinerary.

If your ambition is to pursue one of the world's most impressive Red Stags, or to craft a unique, comprehensive New Zealand hunting expedition, we invite you to contact us directly.

Exclusive Hunting Experience

Ivory Cliffs Estate Exclusive Hunting Experience The 1x1 (one hunter, one guide) hunt option signifies the most personalized and dedicated guiding experience available at Ivory Cliffs Estate.

Key Features (1x1 Option):

  • Dedicated Focus
    You receive the undivided attention of a professional guide, maximizing the opportunity for success and tailoring the pace and strategy of the hunt to your preferences.
  • Pricing
    The prices listed in the "Price (USD) 1x1" columns reflect this private guiding arrangement.
  • Flexibility
    This format is often recommended for hunters pursuing the largest trophy categories (475+ SCI Red Stag) or those requiring specific, custom-crafted itineraries, ensuring the resources are fully focused on achieving the hunter's unique goals.
  • Archery
    Perfect for the individual hunter or Archery hunt

Shared Hunting Experience

Ivory Cliffs Estate Shared Hunting Experience The 2x1 (two hunters, one guide) arrangement is an excellent option for those looking to share the thrill of a premier New Zealand hunting safari with a friend, partner, or family member.

The Perfect Hunt for Hunting Buddies:
This option is particularly popular for two hunting companions, especially when pursuing the challenging alpine species like Tahr and Chamois. With two hunters, you get to "live the hunt twice"—experiencing the excitement of the flight and securing one trophy, and then immediately shifting focus to the second, witnessing your friend's success firsthand. It doubles the camaraderie, the celebration, and the shared memories.

Value and Flexibility:
Booking a 2x1 hunt offers a price discount compared to two separate 1x1 bookings, making the entire luxury experience more accessible. While perfect for hunting buddies traveling together, it also accommodates groups where hunters wish to bring a non-hunting companion (such as a spouse or partner) who can enjoy the luxury lodge and touring options while the hunters are in the field. Non-hunters can be added to any package (see the "Extra's" section for pricing).
