We’re heading back to sunny South Florida for one of our most-loved annual adventures a weekend that blends wild, one-of-a-kind hunting and fishing with the relaxed coastal charm of Palm Beach County. This is our 5th year hosting this trip, and it sells out every time for one reason: it’s unforgettable. Set in the vibrant Lake Worth Beach and West Palm Beach area, this trip gives you the best of both worlds adrenaline-filled days hunting invasive iguanas and reeling in Peacock Bass, paired with laid-back afternoons by the pool or exploring the Florida coast. Whether you’re brand new to the outdoors or a seasoned sportswoman, our expert guides walk you through every step. You’ll learn how to safely hunt, handle, and pack iguanas, and how to target Florida’s colorful, hard-fighting Peacock Bass. All gear is included; all you need is a freshwater fishing license and a willingness to try something bold.
Between the action, you’ll have free time to unwind, lay by the pool, explore West Palm Beach, hit the beach, or try one of the area’s standout local restaurants. The vibes are high, the weather is warm, and the memories are waiting.
Why it’s special:
Iguana hunting helps control a harmful invasive species. and yes, you can take the meat home if you’d like! (We’ll help you pack it properly.)
Peacock Bass fishing is catch and release, but unforgettable, these fish are colorful, aggressive, and incredibly fun to reel in.
There’s space to recharge. Beach time, pool time, and downtime are built in, so you can soak up the sun and take it all in.
If you’ve ever wanted to try something bold and out of the ordinary, this is it. Come solo or bring a friend either way, you’ll walk away with new stories, new skills, and new friends.
Our home for the weekend is Palm Oasis, a private tropical retreat just one mile from the beach and minutes from downtown West Palm Beach. The property is surrounded by 15 varieties of palm trees, creating a lush, peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the busy coast.
Palm Oasis features:
A heated saltwater pool with a sun shelf for lounging during our down time!
Two pergolas for shade, morning coffee, or relaxing after the hunt. There are multiple indoor and outdoor seating areas perfect for group dinners, conversations, or downtime!
A private guest cottage and 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms so everyone has a comfortable space to sleep
Outdoor grill + outdoor TV for unwinding at night
A quiet, safe residential neighborhood close to beaches, restaurants, and parks
This trip includes plenty of downtime, and Palm Oasis is the perfect place to enjoy it lay by the pool, take a short walk to the water, or recharge in the shade with your group. It’s the kind of setting that elevates the entire weekend. One of the best parts of this trip is the balance. In between adventures, you’ll have time to:
Lounge by the private pool
Grab lunch or explore downtown Lake Worth Beach
Visit West Palm Beach for shopping, cafés, or waterfront views
Walk or rideshare to the nearby beach
