San Juan: Mermaid Snorkeling Adventure at Escambron Beach with Video Keepsakes

Resumen

Swim like a mermaid in puerto rico with unforgettable video memories

Slip into an authentic mermaid tail at Escambron Beach in San Juan, learn playful underwater moves with a local guide, and discover vibrant marine life while snorkeling. Your entire adventure is recorded on GoPro and sent directly to your phone afterward — so you can cherish those bubbly laughs and flips long after rinsing off the sand.

¿Cómo es la experiencia?

The first thing I noticed was how surprisingly natural it felt to slip into a mermaid tail at Escambron Beach — something I never imagined saying before. Our guide, Carla, handed me the tail with a smile, “You’ll get the hang of it.” She demonstrated how to wiggle into it (awkward but amusing), and then we made our way across the sand to the water. The ocean was warm, with a slightly salty-sweet taste on my lips, and a gentle breeze kept tossing my hair into my face. Carla chuckled and said that’s perfect for the “mermaid hair flip” — which is actually a real thing here in San Juan.

I hadn’t expected snorkeling as a mermaid to feel so different from regular snorkeling. You have to move your legs together, almost like dancing underwater. At first, I flailed around clumsily, but after a few tries (and encouragement from Carla), I began gliding past tiny fish weaving through the rocks. There was one moment when everything went completely silent except for my bubbles — honestly, I still think about that peaceful quiet sometimes. The GoPro stayed close; Carla captured us striking poses or laughing when someone got tangled up.

Afterwards, we relaxed on our towels while Carla downloaded all the GoPro footage straight to our phones. My hair was full of salt and sand, but I didn’t mind — everyone looked delightfully silly and joyful on camera anyway. If you want a day trip in San Juan that’s part fantasy and part lighthearted fun, this mermaid snorkel experience is just that. And yes, you get to keep the videos as proof you were a mermaid for an afternoon.
