I get to be a mermaid for the morning with a bunch of my girlfriends on a beach in Hawaii?! Are you…read morekidding me!? Dream come true! When we got to Makena Landing, Lila was there ready and waiting for us. We had a very informative land lesson where she taught about the importance of reef safe sunscreen and using rash guards/shade, trying to minimize single-use plastic and basic ocean safety. She also went over some of the Hawaiian fish so that if we saw them, we would know what they were. You can feel her LOVE for the ocean. We headed down to the beach where we put on our mermaid tails and lei (I had to bring a few fake lei just for photos--it's MAUI!!) ... She had us take a few photos together and some by ourself. It was so fun and all the other beach-goers were really interested in the 5 mermaids who had "washed up on shore!" We headed out to the water and got busy exploring and learning to use our new tails. It was a little hard at first but she gave us pool noodles, snorkel masks and floaties so that we could get comfortable at our own pace. It didn't take long before we were splashing like real mermaids---because we are! :) It was so fun! The laughter had to have been heard from the beach. Lila had us swim around and she got some fun photos of us as group. We headed back in and got back our land legs. This was such a fun time! This would be such a fun mother/daughter, sister or bestie date. HIGHLY recommended for mermaids and mermen of all ages. Mahalo Hawaii Mermaid Adventures! Hope to see you soon!

Highly recommend doing this! Also they email you directions to the beach where you meet your mermaid instructor- don't go to the address Google maps provides :) besides that everything went smoothly and we still made it to our lesson just wanted to add that for future mermaids as a reminder.

Feb 2026 - Based on my experience, I urge you to consider not doing business with this company…read more They appear to value revenue over the safety and comfort of their customers. Due to hazardous weather conditions, the tour we were on should never have left the harbor. Not only were the ocean wave conditions reported by the coast guard to be clearly dangerous, the driving hard rain made the conditions completely unacceptable not only for safety reasons but for customer comfort. Despite my several attempts to point this out to the staff answering the phone one day prior to the tour as well as the captain of the boat prior to departure, they blocked my attempts to reschedule or refund the trip in spite of coast guard and national weather service small craft warnings, beach closures and other tour operators canceling their tours under the same conditions. After waves broke over the bow of this small craft, the captain aborted the tour and turned around. After an unusually leisurely return to the dock, I called and asked for a refund. Later we were told based on our return time, we had received the full tour and a refund would not be issued. After escalating our concern, a senior member of the company emailed us and said we would be issued a full refund. Over six weeks later they have still not issued us a refund. We had to file a dispute with our credit card company.
