Comment est l’expérience ?

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. Our guide, Carla, handed me the tail with a smile, “You’ll get the hang of it.” She showed us how to wiggle in (not elegant, but amusing), then we shuffled down the sandy shore toward the water. The ocean was warm, with a slightly salty-sweet taste on my lips, and a gentle breeze kept blowing my hair across my face. Carla laughed and said that’s perfect for the “mermaid hair flip” — which is actually a popular move here in San Juan.

I didn’t expect snorkeling as a mermaid to feel so different from regular snorkeling. You need to move your legs together, almost like dancing underwater. At first I flopped around awkwardly, but after a few tries (and some encouragement from Carla), I started gliding past small fish darting among the rocks. There was one moment when everything went silent except for my own bubbles — honestly, I still think about that peaceful quiet sometimes. The GoPro was always nearby; Carla captured us trying out 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 silly and happy on camera anyway. If you’re seeking a day trip in San Juan that blends fantasy with lighthearted fun, this mermaid snorkeling adventure is just that. And yes, you get to keep the videos as proof you were a mermaid for an afternoon.
