What types of iguana hunting trips are common in Florida?

Invasive Species hunting is the most popular type of hunting for iguana in Florida as well as goose hunting and hog hunting.

How much does a Florida iguana hunting trip cost?

Prices for iguana in Florida can range anywhere from about $500 to $7,500, but the average price for a half day trip for iguana in Florida is $1,977. The average price for a full day trip for iguana in Florida is $934.

Is booking a hunting guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a hunting guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced hunting guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is outside every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your backyard, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for iguana hunting in Florida?

The most popular season for iguana hunting in Florida is spring, and most hunters book their trips 42 days in advance.

Do I Need A Hunting License To Hunt Iguanas in Florida?

In Florida, you do not need a hunting license to hunt iguanas, as they are considered an invasive species and are not protected by law.

About Iguanas

Iguanas have become a prominent invasive species in Florida, posing ecological and environmental challenges due to their prolific population growth and adaptability to the subtropical climate. The primary culprit behind the invasion is the green iguana (Iguana iguana), native to Central and South America. Introduced to Florida through the pet trade, these reptiles have thrived in the state's warm and humid conditions, creating a breeding ground for their rapid expansion.

One key factor contributing to the invasive success of iguanas is their ability to reproduce quickly. Female green iguanas can lay dozens of eggs in a single nesting season, and their eggs have high survival rates. This prolific reproductive capacity has led to explosive population growth, making it challenging to control their numbers effectively.

Moreover, the green iguana is a highly adaptable species that has successfully established itself in various habitats, ranging from urban areas to natural ecosystems. These reptiles are opportunistic feeders, consuming a wide array of vegetation, including ornamental plants and crops. Their voracious appetite not only poses a threat to local flora but can also impact native species by competing for resources and altering ecosystems.

Efforts to manage the iguana population in Florida involve a combination of trapping, removal, and public awareness campaigns. However, the challenge persists due to the species' resilience and the difficulty in implementing comprehensive control measures. The invasion of iguanas in Florida serves as a cautionary tale about the unintended consequences of introducing exotic species to new environments and underscores the importance of responsible pet ownership and trade regulations.

Is It Legal To Hunt Iguanas In Florida?

Yes, it's legal to hunt iguanas in Florida due to their impact on the local ecosystem and concerns about damage to vegetation, infrastructure, and potential competition with native species, there are regulations in place to manage their population.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) allows hunters to humanely kill green iguanas year-round and without a permit or hunting license on 32 public lands in south Florida.

What Do You Typically Use To Hunt Iguanas?

Our guides typically utilize air rifles to hunt green iguanas.

    We had a great day with Captain Justin. He communicated clearly well in advance, showed up exactly on time, and keeps his boat and gear in great condition. After a brief safety briefing and a few practice shots, we were off. Justin kept it fun the whole day and best of all, put us on the iguanas. We would do it again. Thanks!

    I go on several fishing and hunting charters a year. This one has me counting the days until we go again. The cast and blast is a perfect split day balance without getting burned out on one species. Justin is an excellent guide with great personality and patience (I’ve found that rare with most captains). Puts us on the game and wife had a great time!

    Jusin was able to put together a great Cast and Blast trip for us.  He does work very hard to put together a good trip.  Fishing for Peacocks, he did make several moves to various spots and successfully put us on fish.  Hunting for iguanas, again he was able to put us on them for a total of 25 iguanas.  Lunch was very good, and along with good weather made for a really good trip, would definitely recommend.

    We could have brought home 50+ iguanas if we could hit the broadside of a barn! These folks will put you in the middle of them, all you need to do is be able to shoot!! This was our first trip ever and our expectations were far exceeded.

    Capt. Rolland was an excellent guide he provided great equipment and education on the iguanas that we hunted. The action was consistent throughout the hunt. Capt. Rolland has an eagle eye to spot the iguana’s which keeps the hunt moving along with good numbers of iguanas.

    Captain Bill is exactly what a guide should be. He was professional, funny, knowledgeable and I felt like I had known him for years. I had two first time hunters with me that had an amazing and safe time. He put us in a game rich environment where we were very successful! Thanks

    The trip was excellent. Kassie was very helpful in finding the iguanas as we had a hard time seeing them in the beginning. She was great with communication before the trip as well. Lots of cold drinks and a great flat bottom boat making it easier to aim and provided a smoother ride. I highly recommend. We will be using her in the future for other trips. Maybe a hog hunt with her next time

    Trip: West Palm Iguana Hunting

    Captain Experiences - I discussed my trip (with Captain Janot) with Jake from Captain Experiences on Sunday 07/28/24. My Egyptian Goose and Iguana hunt with Captain Janot: Pros: Janot was a nice, pleasant guy with a clean boat, who gave me good safety instructions and had plenty of cold beverages. He made some adjustments to accommodate my health and age impairments. Janot got me on a good Egyptian Goose that I shot for a mounter in the first 30 minutes of the hunt. Cons: Janot hunted me for only 3.25 hours instead of the contracted 4 hours. Janot took me to his "honey hole" and we found darn few iguanas; Janot even openly admitted that the City had very recently been in the "honey hole" to take out the iguanas. Instead of 1) taking me to another hunting area with a substantial number of shootable iguanas or 2) letting me know ahead of time that the City had all but wiped out the iguana crop so I could try to book another hunt with some other outfitter or 3) hooking me up with another outfitter, Janot chose to take me to an area he knew was nearly devoid of iguanas. And Yes, there was a few, but nearly all of the iguanas that we saw were less than 1.5 pounds. Prior to the hunt, Janot told me that I should be able to harvest 15-20 and maybe as many as 30 iguanas depending on how long it would take us to get me a goose. In 2.75 hours, he managed to get me 6 iguanas - a good 5 pounder, a tailless 4 pounder, two 1.25 pounders and two .75 pounders. We may have seen about 200 total iguanas of which about 28-30 were shootable. Of those 28-30 shootable iguanas, we harvested only 6, wounded about 14-15 that got away, and missed about 8-10. Janot did not have a retrieving dog which would have really helped with those wounded iguanas that made it into the water or that crawled away into an area where shooting wasn't possible but retrieval was possible. All in all, based solely on my hunt with Janot, I give Janot as a man a thumbs up. I give Janot as a boat captain a thumbs up. I give Janot as an outfitter a thumbs down. And I give the hunt two thumbs down. I would never ever book another hunt with Janot unless he paid my way back and forth to the hunt site from Montana and gave me a free hunt. This was an expensive hunt that was almost completely a bust !!! Janot could have and should have done much better! Kim Latterell Billings, Montana

    Captain Carlos was awesome! He provided us with a great time on his boat for our iguana hunt. He had a great attitude, was very informative, and had a lot of patience since we were newbs to shooting iguanas. He definitely knows the area and what to do, but most importantly knows how to make the trip memorable. We would for sure book another tour/trip for a different adventure with him if we decide to come back to Florida. Thank you Captain Carlos! You’re the man.

    My family had a fantastic day with Captain Carlos! He was so flexible with us, between adding fishing to our iguana hunt and working around some big storms that rolled in the morning of our hunt. He was great with our kids, knowledgeable, very laid back, and his experience set us up for a great day on the water!
