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.

How much does a Florida iguana hunting trip cost?

Prices for iguana in Florida can range anywhere from about $450 to $1,260, but the average price for a half day trip for iguana in Florida is $783. The average price for a full day trip for iguana in Florida is $988.

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.

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.

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

    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!

    Charlie was a fantastic guide, my buddies and I will definitely contact him again for iguana, Python, or gator hunts. We’re military and got along great with him. Took us to a nice canal, not much water traffic at all, so we were first on the water hunting, not picking up scraps left from other hunters. Went during the summer, which winter is better, but still shot over 20 iguanas. Was a great time, highly recommend Charlie.

    Nathan G. with Charlie L. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

    Carlos was an excellent guide. We came back with 14 iguana. He was very patient with the boys and girls. We were celebrating my grandson’s birthday I highly recommend Carlos for your iguana hunting adventures.

    Captain Bill took me, my son in law and two grandsons on an iguana hunt. We all had a great time and a fair amount of success under Captain Bills guidance. He was patient and entertaining with an emphasis on safety. Thanks for the good time Captain Bill. It would have been easier for me to find the boat ramp if I had the address rather than a pin.

    Had a great trip with my 2 boys (18 and 21). Have fished with guides all over the US and Justin ranks very highly. Great day fishing in the Everglades with 8 species caught. Had a good lunch and then relocated to hunt in iguanas. Lots of iguanas and a great day of memories. Highly recommend!!

    Captain Justin was awesome. He made every effort to make the day a memorable experience for my husband and my sons. They caught lots of fish and thoroughly enjoyed the iguana hunt. The guys also enjoyed a delicious lunch cooked by the captain himself. They look forward to scheduling another trip with Justin and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun day of fishing and/or iguana hunting.

    Charlie was ready before our launch time. He runs nice equipment and the guns were on. We went during the heat of the day due to a late flight and saw fewer iguanas than if had we went out first thing in the morning. They were holed up in the shade and hard to spot. There was plenty of wildlife viewing in between shots. Charlie is a very knowledgeable hunter and fisherman that will put out the effort to ensure a great trip. The kids really enjoyed the peacock bass fishing! Definitely returning!

    Ryan . with Charlie L. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Had an absolute blast!!! Justin done a great job putting us on the fish we where after! He's also excellent at spotting the iguanas we where after! Would definitely recommend him as a guide to anyone wanting a lifetime experience!!!!

    Travis J. with Charlie L. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Justin was awesome. Caught 9 different fish species with him during our fishing part of the trip. He knew exactly where to cast,what to cast, and how to work the fishing pole. The hunt part was amazing as well. Got 12 Iguanas, one being around 41 inches. Justin has the best eyes when it comes to spotting them. He’d point one out while going full speed in the boat. it would take us 10-15 second to spot it. If you want to do an iguana hunt in the Fort Lauderdale area, book Justin.
