Slip into an authentic mermaid tail at Escambron Beach in San Juan, learn playful underwater moves with a local guide, and discover marine life while snorkeling. Your entire adventure is recorded on GoPro and sent straight to your phone afterward — so you can cherish those joyful flips and salty smiles long after rinsing off the sand.
The first thing that struck me was how surprisingly natural it felt to slip into a mermaid tail at Escambron Beach — definitely not something I expected to say. Our guide, Carla, handed me the tail with a smile and said, “You’ll get the hang of it.” She taught us how to wiggle in (awkward but amusing), then we made our way across the sand toward the water. The ocean was warm, with a slightly salty-sweet taste on my lips, and a gentle breeze kept blowing my hair into my face. Carla chuckled and mentioned that’s perfect for the “mermaid hair flip” — a real thing here in San Juan.
I hadn’t realized snorkeling as a mermaid would feel so different from normal snorkeling. You need to move your legs together, almost like dancing underwater. At first, I flailed about, but after a few tries (and some encouragement from Carla), I started gliding alongside small fish weaving through the rocks. There was a moment when everything went silent except for my bubbles — honestly, I still remember that peaceful quiet. The GoPro was always close by; Carla captured us trying different poses or laughing when someone got tangled up.
Afterward, we relaxed on our towels while Carla downloaded all the GoPro footage directly to our phones. My hair was full of salt and sand, but I didn’t mind — everyone looked delightfully silly and happy on camera anyway. If you want a day trip in San Juan that’s part fantasy and part playful fun, this mermaid snorkeling experience is just that. And yes, you get to keep the videos as proof you were truly a mermaid for an afternoon.
