South Florida Iguana Hunting: Eco-Adventure

Ready for a wild ride through the Sunshine State's swamps and suburbs? Swampdog Tours is serving up a unique twist on pest control with our South Florida Iguana Hunting trip. This ain't your average day out - we're talking air rifles, airboats, and some seriously oversized lizards. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or just looking to try something different, our 4-hour guided hunt is the perfect way to get up close and personal with Florida's most colorful invasive species.

Hunt Rundown

Buckle up for a 4-hour adrenaline rush as we track down those pesky green iguanas. We've got room for up to 2 guests on this eco-adventure, but if you've got a bigger crew, no sweat - we can add more folks for a little extra cash. Depending on where those scaley critters are hiding out and what Mother Nature's got in store, we'll either be cruising by boat or stomping through terra firma. Don't worry about gear - we've got you covered with air rifles and all the safety stuff you need. Our licensed guides know these parts like the back of their hand, and they'll show you the ropes on spotting, aiming, and bagging these invasive greens. Best part? It's all totally legal in Florida, so you can feel good about helping out the local ecosystem while having a blast.

Swamp Savvy

Listen up, folks - this ain't your grandpa's hunting trip. We're talking air rifles, not shotguns, so leave the earplugs at home. Our guides will get you set up with these quiet but effective weapons, perfect for taking down iguanas without scaring off the whole neighborhood. We might be cruising the canals on an airboat, feeling the wind in our hair as we scan the shorelines for those telltale green scales. Or we could be sneaking through suburban backyards, where these lizards love to sunbathe on pool decks and munch on prized orchids. Either way, you'll need a keen eye and a steady hand. Don't worry if you've never hunted before - our guides will teach you everything from proper stance to shot placement. And remember, safety is our number one priority, so listen up during the briefing and always follow the guide's instructions.

Target Takedown

Let's talk iguanas, folks. These aren't your average backyard lizards - we're dealing with the green iguana (Iguana iguana), and they're causing all sorts of trouble in South Florida. These prehistoric-looking critters can grow up to 5 feet long and weigh as much as 20 pounds. That's a whole lot of lizard! They love basking in the sun, so we'll be looking for them on tree branches, fences, and even rooftops. Spring and summer are prime hunting seasons when these cold-blooded creatures are most active.

Green iguanas might look cool, but they're wrecking havoc on local ecosystems. They chow down on native plants, dig burrows that damage seawalls and sidewalks, and even carry salmonella. That's why Florida has given the green light to humanely remove them. When you're out with us, you're not just having a good time - you're helping to protect Florida's native species and infrastructure. It's a win-win!

Hunting these guys is a real rush. They're surprisingly quick and can dive into water or scurry up trees in the blink of an eye. You'll need to be stealthy and patient, waiting for the perfect shot. And when you do bag one, it's a feeling of accomplishment like no other. Plus, for the adventurous eaters out there, iguana meat is considered a delicacy in some parts of the world - our guides can give you tips on preparation if you're feeling brave!

Why Hunters Dig It

Our iguana hunts are quickly becoming a customer favorite, and it's easy to see why. Where else can you combine pest control, conservation, and straight-up fun into one action-packed morning? Beginners love the thrill of their first successful shot, while experienced hunters appreciate the unique challenge these quick lizards present. It's not just about the hunt, though - our guests rave about cruising through Florida's lush landscapes, spotting other wildlife like herons and gators along the way. Plus, our guides are full of local knowledge and crazy iguana stories that'll keep you entertained between shots.

Booking Your Lizard Safari

Alright, folks, let's wrap this up. If you're itching for a hunting experience that's off the beaten path, our South Florida Iguana Hunt is calling your name. It's a chance to play eco-warrior, sharpen your shooting skills, and make some wild memories all at once. Remember, we've got room for up to 3 people, so grab your buddies or make it a family adventure. Just keep in mind that deposit is non-refundable - but trust us, once you're out there bagging iguanas, you won't be thinking about backing out.

Don't let those invasive iguanas have the run of South Florida any longer. Book your spot with Swampdog Tours today and get ready to be the hero the Sunshine State needs. Whether you're a local looking to protect your garden or a visitor wanting a truly unique Florida experience, we've got you covered. So what are you waiting for? Grab your sunscreen, your sense of adventure, and let's go iguana hunting!

Learn more about the specie

Iguana

Green iguanas are an invasive species here in South Florida, often growing up to 5 feet long. You'll spot these lizards basking in the sun on trees, walls, and docks near water. They're most active on warm, sunny days year-round, but especially in summer. We typically hunt them along canals, in parks, or even residential areas where they're causing problems. Iguana hunting is a unique way to help control the population while honing your marksmanship. These creatures can be surprisingly quick, so it takes patience and a steady hand. The meat is lean and tasty – similar to chicken – making them popular for the table too. One local trick: Focus on their dewlaps (that flap under the chin). Hit that area for a quick, ethical takedown. Remember, we're after invasive greens only – our native iguanas are protected. It's a great intro to hunting and conservation rolled into one experience.
