No rate card, and no games either. Here is exactly how an Argentina hunting trip is priced, what is inside the programme, what is billed separately, and what moves the number up or down — so the quote you get holds no surprises.
Argentina hunting is quoted per hunter per day, and every serious outfitter works that way. What separates one quote from another is what sits inside the day rate and what gets added to the invoice later. Ours is built so you can read it in one pass: the programme covers everything from the moment you clear customs at Ezeiza to the moment you are dropped back there, and the handful of things quoted separately are listed by name below rather than buried.
One team handles the whole thing — the lodges are ours, the guides are ours, the transfers are ours. There is no middleman adding a margin between you and the field, which is a large part of why the number is what it is.
We do not publish a rate card for the hunt itself, because days, group size, species and season move the figure too much for one number to be honest. But the costs that sit outside the programme are much the same wherever you hunt in Argentina, and knowing them is how you build a real budget before you ask anyone for a quote.
These are third-party costs. The province sets the licence; the ammunition importer sets the shell price. They are not our pricing, and you would pay something close to them at any lodge in the country. Figures below are typical ranges as of the 2026 season.
Ranges are indicative and move with the season and the exchange rate. Your written quote lists every one of them line by line, in your currency, before you commit to anything.
What we don’t do is publish a low headline number and add these on afterwards. You see the whole picture before you decide.
Most groups shoot three or four days. The per-day figure comes down as the stay gets longer, because arrival and departure logistics are fixed costs.
A group of four or six shares transport, guides and lodge overhead. Two hunters on their own carry the same fixed costs between fewer people.
High-volume dove is the most straightforward. Mix bag — dove, duck and perdiz across the same stay — involves more territory, more dogs and more logistics.
Dove is year-round. Duck and mix bag run May through August 20. Cast & Blast with Golden Dorado runs October through March.
Santa Rosa is the flagship. El Rincón is the restored 1890 estancia. Same hunting territory, different character.
Private vehicle from Ezeiza is included. Private aircraft is an upgrade that turns 2.5 hours into 35 minutes.
Welcome at 50% of the standard programme cost, and we can build their days around yours.
Tell us the dates or the month, how many hunters, and whether you want dove only or a mix bag. That is enough for a written, itemised quote — normally back with you inside a day. If the dates are taken we say so and offer what is actually open, rather than holding you while we work it out.
Argentina dove hunting is priced per hunter per day, and the figure depends on the number of days, the size of the group, the species programme and the season. NP Outdoors quotes each trip individually rather than publishing a rate card, because a group of six shooting four days of high-volume dove and a pair shooting two days of mix bag are not the same trip. Send us your dates and group size and you get a written, itemised quote with nothing hidden in it.
Yes. NP Outdoors programmes include VIP airport reception at Ezeiza, private ground transfers, exclusive-use lodging, all meals and beverages, field assistants and bird boys, guides, daily field transport and hunting licence arrangements. Shells, gratuities, international flights and optional extensions such as Buenos Aires, Mendoza or Iguazú are quoted separately so you can see exactly what each one costs.
Because a published rate is either padded to cover every case or it is wrong for most of them. Days, group size, species, season and travel arrangements all move the number. We would rather send you a quote that matches the trip you actually want than a headline figure you have to negotiate down.
Shells are billed on consumption, so you pay for what you shoot rather than an estimate. Gratuities, international airfare, Buenos Aires hotel nights, travel extensions, private aircraft to the lodge and firearm import are all quoted separately and listed on your proposal.
For the duck and mix bag season, May through August 20, six to nine months is sensible — both lodges are exclusive-use, so there is one group at a time. Year-round dove has more flexibility, and we have filled dates on shorter notice. Ask us what is open before you assume it is not.
Yes, a deposit confirms the dates and the balance is settled before arrival. The exact terms are on your written proposal — you will not find a surprise on it.
Shells in Argentina typically run around US$19 to US$25 per box of 25 and are billed on consumption rather than included in the package, so you pay for what you actually shoot. On a heavy high-volume dove day a hunter can go through 40 boxes or more; on a moderate day, far fewer. NP Outdoors itemises shells on the written quote instead of folding an estimate into a headline price.
Beyond the programme itself, budget for shells (around US$19 to US$25 per box of 25, billed on consumption), the provincial hunting licence (roughly US$150 to US$180 for the whole trip, not per day), shotgun rental if you are not bringing your own (roughly US$85 to US$100 per day), gratuities for guides and bird boys, and international airfare, which from Texas to Buenos Aires typically runs US$900 to US$1,500 round trip. These are third-party costs and are broadly similar at any Argentina lodge.
