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!

Head skinning is a lot quicker when you’ve got a good knife! The mini speedgoat making short work of this big free range red stag, great for getting into those tight spots around the pedicles and eye sockets.

With an age and length average of over 11.5yrs and 13.5” we are off to a great start in our new area. A well managed private area with a target of 9yrs and older means all of our hunters get a chance at big mature bulls! To see all our highlights make sure you’re signed up to our mailing list which you’ll find on our website. Link in bio.

We are one of the few outfits where you can hike tahr country like this and return to a home cooked meal each night. Our home made pizza has been a consistent hit this season!

We are looking forward to late summer hunting in the alpine; the weather is settled, the days are still long and the stags will have finished growing out their antlers.
