Our captain was a great guide. Had a great knowledge of the wildlife and also a great respect for it as well. I would definitely recommend him for your iguana hunt!

Thank you so much for the awesome review and for trusting us with your South Florida iguana hunt adventure! We truly appreciate the kind words about our guide’s knowledge and respect for the wildlife. That balance between conservation, education, and having a great time outdoors is exactly what we strive for every day.

For those looking to turn this into the ultimate Florida outdoor experience, be sure to ask about our famous “Cast & Blast” combo. Spend one day hunting invasive iguanas and then hit the water the next day targeting exotic Peacock Bass on our guided fishing trips. It’s one of the best two day outdoor adventures Florida has to offer.

You can often find the Cast & Blast option directly through Captain Experiences or once you book your iguana hunt with us, we’ll gladly help point you in the right direction to set up your Peacock Bass fishing trip for the following day.

Thanks again and we hope to see you back on the boat soon!

We’re glad to hear you had an amazing trip and that the guide, Daniel was able to put your group on plenty of iguanas while also sharing information about the hunt and the invasive species issues here in South Florida. Every day on the water is a little different, and our guides work hard to keep the action going while making the experience fun and educational.

For guests looking to extend the adventure, don’t forget to check out our popular Cast & Blast charters, where you can combine Iguana Hunting with Peacock Bass Fishing or Bowfishing for the ultimate South Florida outdoor experience.

We hope to see you back out on the water again soon!

Great company. Well organized and easy to deal with. Had a slow morning with the cold but it picked up after about an hour. Great guide.

Response from Gene:

Thank you for the great review, Justin! We truly appreciate you joining us for the Multi-Boat Iguana Hunt.

Cold mornings can definitely slow the iguanas down a bit at first, but as you saw, once the sun warms things up the action usually picks right back up. We’re glad your guide helped make it a fun and successful day on the water.

We also appreciate the compliments on our organization and booking process. We work hard to make everything as smooth and easy as possible from start to finish.

For guests looking to take the adventure even further, be sure to check out our popular Cast & Blast two-day charters, where you can combine an Iguana Hunt with Peacock Bass Fishing or even Bowfishing for the ultimate South Florida invasive species adventure.

Trip was a total bust. Saw 3 Iguanas, one small one that stayed hidden by tree, one jumped into water before getting a shot, third one my partner shot. Weather was high 60's, cloudy. There were 4 boats working same general areas, feels like this area has maybe been hunted a little too hard. Would not recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Iguana hunting is true wildlife hunting in an uncontrolled, natural environment. Weather conditions, cloud cover, temperature, time of day, recent hunting pressure in the area, animal behavior, all play a significant role in how active the iguanas are and how visible they may be.

Unlike a controlled range or target setting, this is real-world hunting where sightings and opportunities can vary greatly from trip to trip. Some outings produce dozens of opportunities, others can be more challenging depending on conditions that are outside of anyone’s control.

Our captains work extremely hard to put guests in the best possible position for success based on their experience, scouting, and knowledge of the waterways, but wildlife does not operate on a schedule.

We truly appreciate you coming out with us and we understand that this type of hunt may not be what everyone expects. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue to educate future guests on the nature of a true wildlife hunt.

We wish you all the best on your future adventures.

Hey Tony this is Trey with Captain Experiences. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and I want to apologize that this trip didn’t live up to expectations. I completely understand how disappointing that can be. Unfortunately, wildlife can be unpredictable, and we truly wish we had more control over those variables. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to the opportunity to get you out on the next one. I've reached...

We had a great time. Our guide Jose was really cool. Bud was another guide that showed us the ropes. Steve was kind of rude. For us to pay that kind of money to go out there he talked to us pretty disrespectfully even though we were very safe and easy going. Just an FYI

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We’re glad to hear you had a great time overall and that Jose and Bud were helpful in getting you comfortable with the hunt and the area.

Regarding Captain Steve, safety is always our top priority on the water. Because we are operating with real guns in a dynamic outdoor environment, our guides are trained to be very direct and firm whenever they feel additional attention to safety is needed. This approach is never meant to be personal or disrespectful, but rather to ensure that everyone on board remains safe at all times.

We understand that a firm tone can sometimes come across differently than intended, and we’re sorry if it felt uncomfortable. Our guides work with many hunters each year and are quick to step in whenever they feel a situation calls for extra caution.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and truly value your feedback. Thank you again for coming out with us.

Best regards,
Master Captain Gene

Captain Steve was awesome! He was patient with my 10 year old son and was very knowledgeable about what we were hunting and the area. I would highly recommend, plus we shot a lot of Iguana's.
