This was one of the funnest experience ever and a memory to never forget. Our guide amber was the best and she was super sweet and very informed. And this is something I would recommended to anyone. Amber made our trip the best. Prepare to laugh.

I purchased on Groupon in April a mermaid tour for one for my Hawaii trip in September. I was so excited to do this tour at the end of it I was left disappointed. I arrived early to meet the person at the Magic Island Lagoon and found Mark that was waiting for me there. He advised me the person that does the tour called out sick and he only does scuba diving lessons, but he will try his best to make this a good experience. He had a hard time picking out a tail to the point I had to step in to pick one out. I ended up posing myself for the video due to Mark not feeling comfortable doing the poses himself cause he normally does not do the mermaid experience. At the end he could not send the videos to my phone which was fine I just asked him if he could email them to me. I received a email a few days later saying they lost the videos and had nothing to send to me. Don't spend your money on this experience you could honestly purchase the same tail at fin fun mermaid website for cheaper.

It was very fun and I learned a lot about marine life and I strongly recommend going. From Annie.
Alberto was very generous with his time. Recommend if you are accompanying someone but not doing the experience yourself take your swimmers as it’s a lovely lagoon and pretty hot on the beach!!!

Great concept, horrible execution. I booked this tour for my two daughters 6 and 8. The 1 1/2 hour experience was really just 30 minutes of time in the water. Huge disappointment for little ones. They claimed to provide everything needed, from the mermaid tail to the snorkels, not the case. I was disappointed when the group had 5 little mermaids and they only provided 3 snorkels, but what really pissed me off was when the “photographer” took it from one little girl and told my daughter to then put it in her mouth! Even after that no snorkeling was done at all. To top this they claim to provide a photo shoot, which was nothing more than a couple of awkward videos on a GoPro to which I was told to screenshot my own photos, then to received the photos was another mission in itself with him having to send me 25 videos over WhatsApp. Just terrible. I’d be better off buying the tails on Amazon and taking photos with my phone.

My friends and I went on an all girls trip to Hawai’i and stumbled upon this fun experience! At first you get to be mermaids and take fun pics but then you get to snorkel and see a bunch of sea life - we saw some really colorful fish! Definitely would recommend to anyone! Amber thank you so much for being personable, sweet, energetic, knowledgeable about the island and making my friend group laugh.

S C A M! I Did Everything They Asked! Paid In Advance, Filled All the Required Forms for Our Mermaid Snorkel & Photo Shoot! I Called the Day Before to Ask About the Triathlon Time & Road Closures, They Said Yes! Be There No Matter What! Well We WERE! WE Arrived at 9am for Our 10am Appt, liz Started Calling Saying She Couldn't Get In at 1030, Tried to Reschedule Us At 11 Then Just Cancelled the Entire Thing! HOW FREAKING RIDICULOUS! She is An Absolute Joke, Come to Find Out She Double Booked Us With Another Couple From Asia for Try Scuba Diving & Cancelled Them Toooo! DO NOT BOOK THIS COMPANY, They DO NOT CARE & HAVE ZERO REGARD FOR THEIR COSTUMERS!

I had so much fun! My guide, Ricki was helpful, knowledgeable and got some amazing videos. I love that the videos are included and it's super simple to pull still shots from the footage. I will definitely do this again next time I'm back in the area.

Worth every penny! My wife and my mother-in-law did this for my wife’s birthday and we couldn’t be happier. The videos and pictures came out beautifully. Paula, the photographer and snorkel instructor did an amazing job explaining how to use the suits and different poses for pictures. I would highly recommend using this company as well as requesting Paula as your instructor. We miss Hawai’i already!!!! Thanks again Paula!
