OUR GUIDES

Guide
Tim Campbell

Hunting has been part of Tim’s life since he was young, when he was fortunate to be taught the true way to hunt. With more than 20 years of experience across New Zealand’s South Island, Tim has mastered the skills of tracking and harvesting game safely, respectfully, and sustainably, creating the foundation for some of the best hunting trips in the South Island.

What sets Tim apart is his passion for sharing that knowledge with others. He believes hunting doesn’t have to be daunting or exclusive, I it can be a safe, welcoming, and family-friendly experience. From complete beginners to seasoned outdoorsmen, Tim has guided people of all levels, helping them feel confident in the bush and leaving them with stories worth sharing.

Guide
Riley Jones

Riley grew up tagging along with his dad and grandad, learning the craft of hunting from a young age. What started as a family tradition quickly grew into a lifelong passion for the outdoors, eventually becoming his profession.

With over nine years of guiding experience on all big game species in New Zealand, and even a season spent guiding in Canada, Riley brings a wealth of knowledge to every hunt. When he’s not guiding, he’s either hunting recreationally or working in the pest control industry. Riley is committed to making every NZ hunting and shooting trip a safe and memorable experience.
