What you need to know before you book:
Alligator hunting in Florida is a high-adrenaline pursuit that differs from typical upland or big-game hunts. Instead of long stalks through woods or mountain ridges, you’re often in a boat or on an ATV, working close to the water’s edge. The focus is on quick decision-making and safe handling of a powerful reptile rather than tracking across large tracts of land. Gear and tactics can vary widely—from rifles and bows to harpoons and spears—so the challenge combines marksmanship, boat handling and reptile behavior in a way you won’t find chasing deer or birds.
Florida’s alligator season generally runs from late summer into early fall (often August through November, depending on the zone). Warm water keeps alligators active in August and September, increasing encounter rates, while cooler fall nights may bring them closer to shore. Hunters should always check the current Fish and Wildlife Commission regulations for exact season dates and zone-specific openings.
Most guided alligator hunts take place on privately leased marshes, canals and lakes where outfitters have permitted access and can guarantee quality habitat. Public wetlands and waterways may also be hunted under the proper licenses and permits, but many outfitters prefer private lands to control safety, logistics and animal densities.
Filter, sort, and find the perfect hunt tailored to your style.
