Strider Expeditions

Strider Expeditions offers authentic, free-range wilderness hunting adventures across the remote public lands of New Zealand’s South Island. Far removed from high fences and manicured game estates, Strider Expeditions specializes in fair-chase mountain hunting in the breathtaking Southern Alps.

Founded and led by professional international guide and filmmaker Jürgen Schwanecke, Strider Expeditions delivers genuine, immersive backcountry trips designed for hunters who value the true spirit of the adventure over simple trophy collection. Whether accessing pristine alpine country via helicopter fly-in, embarking on a grueling wilderness backpack hunt, or packing into remote territory on horseback, every 5-day expedition is fully tailored to each client’s fitness, experience, and target goals.
