For those looking to extend their time in New Zealand before or after a mountain hunt with Glen Dene Hunting and Fishing, we are proud to offer guided duck hunting on the Canterbury Plains. This experience is steeped in sporting heritage and uniquely New Zealand tradition. Blinds are set of fed ponds and in raised hides in the center of a vast lake. The work put into the locations, preparations, decoy spreads, calling, and dog handling shows in the opportunities. More than that, the early morning sunrises, the crisp, cold air alive with birds being carefully and cleverly calling in, an alert dog at your side, seemingly holding his breath with anticipation, makes the experience so memorable and stirs timeless sporting instincts endured through generations. New Zealand remains the only place in the world where hunters can pursue endemic Paradise ducks, as well as prized black swans, mallards, and Canada geese. Set among sprawling farmland, merging waterways, and an expansive lake, Canterbury offers a classic and deeply authentic waterfowl hunting experience. Whether added before your mountain hunt begins or as a memorable finish to your time at Glen Dene, this guided duck hunt will show you another side of New Zealand’s sporting culture and wild landscapes.
