Package or trophy fee
A package is a fixed price for a set number of days with the animal included, usually with guiding, lodging and meals. A trophy fee is the price of the animal alone, and the days are charged on top: published day rates run US$250 to US$1,175 across 18 outfitters, with a median of US$500 a day.

What the price usually leaves out
Flights, trophy export and taxidermy, and often GST. Read what a guided New Zealand hunt costs for the whole trip.
These are published prices, not quotes. Each figure is from the outfitter's own website on 26 September 2026. Only prices labelled in US dollars count and none is converted; price lists for seasons before 2026 are left out. The only price that binds anyone is the one your outfitter puts in writing.
