Become a Mermaid
The breathtaking waters of Anguilla are so surreal you may think you’re dreaming when you see them. Making it even more surreal, there’s a good chance you may see an Anguilla mermaid or two while you’re there.
Anguilla is home to Mermaid School International. It offers a variety of Anguilla mermaid experiences ranging from individual and group recreation and instruction to multi-leveled instructor courses, and virtually everything mermaid-related in between.
You can begin with the Mermaid Experience. This includes the rental of a mermaid tail, swimming instruction, water games, and photographs. You can also add a little extra time and have a mermaid face painting experience. For those who want to go further, the school offers a half-day experience, mermaid snorkeling, and a certification course.
In addition to the personal experiences, the school offers handmade mermaid jewelry, shell tops and hair clips for a bit of nautical whimsy. Having a party? You can also hire a mermaid performer or you and your guests can don a tail and become mermaids or mermen yourselves.
Estelle Arlaud, also known in Anguilla as the “Mermaid Chef”, founded Mermaid School International in 2014. A former underwater model turned gourmet chef, Estelle decided it was time to share her life-long love of the water with others by offering them a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
