Hunting Lodge Transfers
Private Transport for South Island Hunters & Their Companions
The South Island is home to some of the finest hunting country in the world: free-range red stag in the roar, Himalayan tahr and alpine chamois in the Southern Alps, and trophy fallow deer across Central Otago and the high country. But reaching these remote lodges and private stations shouldn't be part of the challenge.
At Exclusive Driver, we provide elite, stress-free transport for hunters and their travelling companions, tailored specifically to the demands of a South Island hunting trip. Whether you're arriving into Christchurch, Queenstown, or a regional airport, our professional drivers take care of the journey from the arrivals terminal straight to your lodge, hunting estate, or private station, so your trip starts the moment you land, not once you've fought your own way there.

Why Hunters & Outfitters Choose Us
Ample Room for Gear
Our luxury fleet is selected with hunters in mind, with plenty of room for large travelling parties and hunting gear, without compromising on comfort.
Expert High-Country Drivers
Skip the stress of unfamiliar, rugged, or unsealed alpine roads. Our local drivers know the South Island's back-country routes intimately, getting you safely to remote lodges and hunting blocks other transport services won't attempt.
Bespoke Schedules
Hunting trips don't run to office hours. If your long-haul flight is delayed or your time in the field runs late, our team and your private transport adapt around you, not the other way round.
Elevate Your Journey Beyond the Field
Custom Companion Excursions
Travelling with a partner or family who won't be joining the hunt? We provide dedicated, chauffeured day trips so they're just as looked after as you are. While you're out after stag or tahr, they can enjoy private Central Otago wine tours, luxury wellness retreats, or scenic alpine drives, with their own driver, on their own schedule.
Post-Hunt Luxury Touring
Once the hunt is done, the rest of the South Island awaits. Extend your trip into a custom, multi-day tour with the same dedicated driver: Aoraki/Mount Cook, Milford Sound, Queenstown, or the West Coast glaciers, all at an unhurried pace.

Private Transport, However You're Arranging Your Hunt
Whether you've booked directly with an outfitter, planned your own hunting trip, or your lodge has recommended us as their preferred transport partner, we tailor the same level of service: reliable, discreet, and built around the realities of a South Island hunting trip, not a standard airport transfer.
Don't leave the logistics of your expedition to chance. Contact Louis and the team at Exclusive Driver today to arrange your private hunting lodge transfer, book companion day trips, or start planning your post-hunt South Island tour.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is it from Christchurch or Queenstown to a typical hunting lodge?
Travel times vary widely depending on the lodge or station, from around an hour to several hours into more remote high-country locations. Let us know your lodge or destination and we'll confirm exact timing and the best route when you book.
Do you have room for hunting gear and luggage?
Yes. Our vehicles are selected with hunters in mind, with ample room for hunting packs, luggage, and equipment for individuals or larger groups. If you're travelling with oversized items, let us know when booking so we can recommend the most suitable vehicle.
How far in advance should I book a transfer?
As early as possible, especially during peak hunting season (the roar in autumn, and the busier winter alpine months for tahr and chamois). This helps us guarantee vehicle availability and the right driver for remote or high-country routes.
Do you offer transport for non-hunting companions during the trip?
Yes, this is one of our most popular add-ons. While you're in the field, we provide a dedicated driver for your partner or family to enjoy day trips, wine tours, or scenic excursions on their own schedule.
What does a private hunting lodge transfer typically cost?
Pricing depends on distance, group size, and vehicle requirements. Get in touch with your travel dates and lodge details and we'll provide a clear quote before you book.
