Your Experience

Gator hunting in Apalachicola, Florida offers an exhilarating and unique outdoor experience for adventurers seeking to connect with nature and Florida's rich wildlife.


Set against the backdrop of the scenic Apalachicola River and its surrounding wetlands, gator hunting is a regulated activity that allows participants to engage in sustainable harvesting while respecting the ecosystem.


Typically conducted during designated hunting seasons, this thrilling pursuit involves skilled hunters navigating through the marshes and waterways, using a combination of traditional methods and modern tools to locate and capture alligators. The hunt not only offers a chance to acquire an impressive trophy but also promotes wildlife conservation efforts and provides an intimate understanding of the delicate balance between humans and the captivating reptiles that inhabit the area.


Our fully guided wild alligator hunts in the Florida panhandle are done during the day or night from boats using a variety of tools & tactics. This by far, is the most exciting action-packed way to hunt wild Florida alligators. Most people love the boat ride just as much as the hunt. If you like action-packed hunting all night with never a dull moment, this is the hunt for you. Our goal is to help you check gator hunting off your bucket list!

All paid hunts include transporting your gator to our processor and/or taxidermist. The customer is responsible for making arrangements to pick up your gator once finished being processed and/or mounted. Taxidermy & processing costs are not included but are available on-site for additional fees.


Tags are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please inquire about availability.


This price includes GUIDE FEE only. Guide fee covers 2 people. Lodging may be added for an additional fee per person per night.


**Please note there is a $100 Harvest Fee per foot of gator. This will be collected onsite by your guide after the hunt.
