With a temperate climate and in the absence of any natural predators, hunting in New Zealand provides trophy opportunities whilst also providing an important and essential conservation benefit.

Minaret Station privately owns a 50,000-acre parcel of wilderness providing guests with exclusive access to prime hunting territory in the Southern Alps. In addition to this Minaret Station holds independent concessions to hunt on conservation lands covering some four million acres including National Parks. The region’s terrain is nothing short of dramatic. Gently undulating lowlands are shouldered by steep ridges rising to permanent snow fields. Clearly defined vegetation zones separate densely forested hillsides, sub alpine scrubland and open mountain tops. Helicopters are often used to gain access to areas that would otherwise take days to hike.
