Hunting Iguanas is a South Florida-based outfitter specializing in private, species-focused half-day outdoor experiences. The company operates two distinct private trips, each limited to a maximum of nine sportsmen per reservation. The Private Half Day Peacock Bass Fishing Charter offers anglers the opportunity to target peacock bass—an Amazon-native species that supports vibrant freshwater action in Florida waters. That fishing charter is run as a private trip with experienced guides and all equipment provided so guests can focus on casting and landing aggressive fish.
The Private Half Day Iguana Charter is an urban safari-style hunt conducted across multiple South Florida locations. Guides use precision air rifles to target invasive iguanas, providing instruction on shot placement, location scouting, and logistics during each outing. Both trips prioritize private bookings and small group sizes to deliver focused, hands-on guidance and a tailored experience for each reservation.
Hunting Iguanas appeals to anglers and outdoorspeople seeking memorable half-day adventures close to urban centers. Trip descriptions specify included gear for the peacock bass outing and multiple-location access for iguana hunts. With private charters, experienced guides, and a clear maximum group size, Hunting Iguanas frames its offerings as efficient, guided half-day options for anglers and hunters interested in species-specific pursuits in South Florida.
