King Peak Guiding NZ EARN YOUR ULTIMATE TROPHY
Genuine free range hunting experiences
📍South Island, New Zealand

​King Peak Guiding NZ was formed by James Cruickshank in 2015 with the simple goal of using his international experience as a guide to set a new standard to the New Zealand industry. What really makes KPGNZ unique is the way it approaches the New Zealand hunting industry. As a guiding service rather than a traditional outfit we give the client a chance to get to know the guide pre hunt. This takes

care of the unknown factor of who you'll be hunting with as it is after all the guide not the Outfitter or booking agent who will be providing the most important part of the service. We pick the best areas and and go where the best results are at no extra cost to booking directly through another outfitter/consultant. New Zealand is an outdoorsman’s paradise and from the elite mountain hunts, to the culture surrounding hunting we strive to give you ALL the kiwi experience has to offer. We pride ourselves on being adaptable, professional, and like nothing better than working with our clients from start to finish on achieving their specific goals. Which ever adventure you decide to embark on with KPGNZ, we will give it our 100% with the goal of passing on a sense of accomplishment with what you have achieved. At the same time we try to balance a relaxed/fun energy to leave you with the ultimate hunting holiday! So if a small family run business focused on providing quality hunting with excellent success rates and world class trophies sounds like it’s for you, please don’t hesitate to contact us to see what we can do about making your dream New Zealand experience a reality!
