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

Riassunto

Glide like a mermaid in puerto rico with included video souvenirs

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 directly to your phone afterward — so you can relive those joyful flips and salty laughs long after rinsing off the sand.

Com’è l’esperienza?

The first thing I noticed was how surprisingly natural it felt slipping into a mermaid tail at Escambron Beach — definitely not something I ever imagined saying. 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), then we made our way down the sandy shore to the water. The ocean was warm, with a slightly salty-sweet taste on my lips, and a gentle breeze kept tossing my hair in my face. Carla chuckled and said that’s perfect for the “mermaid hair flip” — which is apparently a real thing here in San Juan.

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

Afterwards, we relaxed on our towels while Carla transferred 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 happy on camera anyway. If you want a day trip in San Juan that’s part fantasy, part lighthearted fun, this mermaid snorkel experience is exactly that. And yes, you get to keep the videos as proof you were a mermaid for an afternoon.
