Maui Mermaid Swim Lessons
If you’ve ever dreamt of becoming a mermaid in a tropical paradise, Maui is the place! With unique marine life, amazing underwater (and above water) scenery, and year-round warm weather and ocean temperatures, it’s the perfect place to spend a morning playing Ariel in the Pacific Ocean.
A newcomer to the vast array of Maui ocean tours, Hawaii Mermaid Adventures is ideal for all ages, especially those intrigued by the ocean and who want to see it from a new perspective.
The Adventure
All tours include a special mermaid swimming lesson, complete with swimming instruction highlighting the proper etiquette to take in the water and around Maui’s precious marine life. Certified instructors, who are all lifeguard/CPR certified as well as certified Marine Naturalists, will teach guests how to identify native Hawaiian fish species they’re likely to see once in the water.
In support of the principles outlined by the Hawaii Ecotourism Association, each tour will also include mini beach cleanups by the mermaid instructors, as well as information about popular ocean conservation issues and how to combat them.
After a brief land lesson and tail swimming instructions, guests will spend two hours in the ocean with their chosen mermaid instructor, diving below the surface and discovering why so many people flock to Maui for a variety of ocean experiences every year.
