The South Pacific offers thrilling adventure travel, wingshooting, fishing, and big game hunting, centered primarily in New Zealand and Australia, with limited options elsewhere due to regulations.

  • Adventure Travel: Adventure travel includes hiking New Zealand’s Southern Alps, exploring Australia’s Outback, or kayaking Fiji’s coral reefs.
  • Fishing: Fishing excels in New Zealand’s rivers for trophy brown trout and in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef for marlin and sailfish, with peak seasons from November to April.
  • Wingshooting: Wingshooting is niche but growing, with New Zealand offering paradise shelduck and pheasant hunts, and Australia providing wild duck and quail shoots from May to August.
  • Hunting: Big game hunting shines in New Zealand’s South Island, targeting red stag, Himalayan tahr, and chamois on vast ranches, best during the March-April rut, while Australia offers buffalo and banteng in the Northern Territory.

Outdoors International crafts tailored trips blending luxury lodges, expert guides, and cultural experiences like Māori traditions or Aussie barbecues, ensuring an unforgettable South Pacific adventure.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you,
Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
