Guided Hunts
Experience the Everglades After Dark
Our nighttime python hunts offer an unforgettable way to explore the Everglades.
We'll teach you what to look for, how to recognize potential python habitat, and how experienced hunters locate these snakes in the dark.
Every hunt is different. Some nights may bring multiple encounters, while other nights may require patience and persistence. Because these are wild animals, we cannot guarantee that a python will be found or captured. But, you may also encounter other animals along the way such as bears, a variety of snake species, and birds.

Nighttime Hunts
The Hunt Begins After Dark
Our nighttime tours are designed around the natural behavior of Burmese pythons. After sunset, we head into the Everglades and begin slowly searching roads and other areas where pythons are known to move.
Guests will have the opportunity to participate in the search and learn the techniques experienced python hunters use to locate these highly camouflaged snakes.
The combination of darkness, wildlife, and the unpredictable nature of the Everglades makes every hunt a completely different experience.
Tour times vary seasonally based on weather, daylight, and python activity.

Your Safety Comes First
The Everglades is a wild environment, and our tours are conducted with safety as a priority.
Guests will receive instructions before entering the field and must follow all guide directions throughout the experience.
Pythons are wild animals and should never be approached or handled without proper training and supervision. Guests will only participate in handling when it is considered safe and appropriate by the guide.
Wildlife encounters are unpredictable, and there is never a guarantee that a python will be located or captured during a tour.
