5.00This adventure was so much fun! I booked this for my daughter and me to do while the boys went to explore the island. Getting made up like a mermaid with the vibrant tails and beautiful seashell bras plus makeup was great. If you’re looking for a fun, quick experience to share with your friends or family, this is it. Be a mermaid for a moment and smile!🧜♀️🐚🌊

A Magical 21st Birthday Experience

5.00I surprised my daughter for her 21st birthday with this experience and it was such a hit! Dressing up as a mermaid was so much fun, and the outfits were gorgeous. The best part was opening her own clam and finding a pearl inside — such a unique memory she’ll never forget! Our dress-like-a-mermaid coach was so sweet and made us feel completely comfortable the whole time. You can tell she really loves what she does, and it made the experience even better. This was such a fun and different way to celebrate a special day. We’re already talking about coming back to try the swim-like-a-mermaid lessons, and we’ll definitely be telling friends and family all about it! 🧜♀️✨
