This was such a fun day my seven-year-old absolutely loved it. I even partook in the experience as well. The photo shoot was great and swimming in the water even saw a turtle great area for the excursion and aqua. The instructor was lovely. Highly recommend for a lasting memory and lots of fun!

Best Mermaid Experience! Highly Recommend!

Christy_B, Jul 2025

Highly recommend!

Phil_H, Jul 2025

My wife and 8 yo daughter had the experience of a lifetime! Highly recommend this, book it! I tagged along and had a great time watching them become mermaids. Pictures turned out amazing and Aqua is truly one of the coolest people on Maui. Great experience.

Becoming a mermaid

Scott_S, Jul 2025

It was a great experience. Aqua was great. She talked about her experience as a mermaid, talked about the products we were going to use and how to use them along with the steps we were going to do to become mermaids. Her guidance through the whole process and the activities was right on.

Swimming with Aqua

Marlene_B, Jun 2025

It was the funnest part of the trip. Aqua was amazing. She made the experience wonderful. The 10 year old was so pleased with learning how to use the Finn. The pictures were amazing

Magical experience

Janeth_K, Apr 2024

This was a highlight of our trip! Aqua was so sweet, encouraging and welcoming. Made the whole experience so magical! Memories and photos to last a lifetime.

Unforgettable experience

Nemanja_J, Jan 2024

Night before Aqua reached to us with detailed questions to assure that next day will go smooth and without wasted time. She met us punctually and we were lucky with great weather and excellent underwater visibility. First we did photo shoot on the beach and than moved into and under water. It is a great plus if you/child are already familiar with monofin as you will than fully enjoy the experience (consider buying one and training few days before). Within couple days after the experience photos were ready and family was "laughing". Long story short during our next visit in few months we already plan to repeat this and possibly take it step further.

A MUST-DO DUE for women of all ages, shapes, and insecurities. Many Blessings......

Danielle_E, Jul 2023

Indeed, the best thing I did on vacation in Maui. Ms. Head Mermaid Lady made us feel comfortable and relaxed enough to enjoy our photo shot—a MUST-DO DUE for women of all ages, shapes, and insecurities. Many Blessings......

Amazing experience!

Heather_H, Jul 2023

I went to Maui with my friends and their 2 daughters. My two daughters and their two daughters, ages 6, 8, 9, and 10 all participated in the Mermaid school. Every girl had a blast! Aqua was so sweet and patient. The girls were pretending they were mermaids for the rest of the trip and bragged about it to friends back home. For sure, an adventure that will never be forgotten- an amazing experience!

A Mermaid Dream Experience

James_L, Jun 2022

My daughter (7) loves mermaids, so this was an opportunity not to pass up. My daughter is a well-practiced pool swimmer, but this was her first ocean, and mermaid experience. Naia was a great instructor and photographer. She was extremely patient.

Thank you so much for the awesome review!

My 6 year old and I had an amazing experience being mermaids and that was because our mermaid instructor Aqua was so amazing! She was so kind, patient, informative and made us feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend this experience.

Sehr nette Aktivität mit der ganzen Familie. Meine Frau und Tochter hatten Riesen Spaß. Die Lehrerin ist sehr nett und herzlich. Nach dem Anziehen der Flossw und kurzen Instruktionen ging es gleich los. Dazu gab es tolle Bilder und Videos. Sehr zu empfehlen!
