Nighttime Swamp Tours
Slow the pace. Discover the bayou after dark.
No payment to inquire. We confirm every detail with you before you book.
Tours need more than 48 hours’ notice.
An unforgettable detour from the parade route
Amid the Mardi Gras madness, a hidden world waits just outside New Orleans: moonlit waterways, whispering cypress trees and glowing eyes in the shadows.
Trade the blaring horns for hooting owls. Glide through Spanish moss-draped bayous under the stars and hear the stories of the land from expert local guides.
It’s both mystical and grounding — a perfect counterpoint to Carnival’s high-energy vibe, crafted with the same VIP care you’ve come to expect from Mardi Gras Made EZ.
“You truly made it turn key for us.”
