THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE

Heli-Hunting Adventures

This is hunting the way it was meant to be - wild, remote, and uncompromising - with the confidence that your access, safety, and logistics are handled by true professionals.

The Liftoff

Your helicopter lifts off from Stonefly's private helipad, soaring over valleys and mountain ranges into South Marlborough wilderness to hunt a private block accessible only by air.

The Drop

Catch a glimpse of free range deer below before touching down on a mountaintop, surrounded by native bush, peaks and valleys. The peaks and valleys are yours for the day. No other hunters. Just you, your guide, and wilderness.

The Stalk

Hunt the exclusive free-range block, with the option to pursue a trophy within our private hunting preserve — an unforgettable experience and the chance to take a trophy red stag.

The Harvest

Butchery courses can be arranged, with our guides teaching you how to break down the animal and prepare the various cuts.

The Return

When the day's done, your helicopter returns to bring you back to the lodge — just in time for drinks and a 4 course dinner.


4X4 DAY TRIPS FROM THE LODGE

Guided Hunting

Not every great day requires a helicopter. Stonefly Lodge sits between 3 National Parks and our experienced in-house guides will drive you to some of the best local blocks, terrains and private land for an unforgettable stalk and day in the wild. Full-day trips include all equipment, transport, and a gourmet picnic lunch.
