Mermaid Adventures at Catalina Island Mermaids in Avalon

Avalon, California, on Catalina Island, serves as an extraordinary setting for a unique kind of outdoor adventure—becoming a mermaid. Catalina Island Mermaids offers immersive, hands-on experiences where visitors don authentic mermaid tails to glide through the Pacific waters or pose for vivid photo shoots both above and below the surface. Located on the island’s picturesque coast, known for its crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life, this business stands out by combining aquatic artistry, freediving instruction, and environmental appreciation.

The centerpiece of the adventure is the Catalina Island Mermaid Underwater Photoshoot. Here, participants receive expert guidance to swim gracefully in custom mermaid tails while skilled photographers capture spectacular images and videos to take home. These sessions accommodate a range of swimming abilities, including beginners, with an emphasis on safety and comfort. The photo shoots are complemented by souvenir prints and professionally edited highlight reels to preserve the magic of the day.

For those ready to deepen underwater skills, Catalina Island Mermaids offers PADI-certified Mermaid and Advanced Mermaid courses, alongside freedive training and spearfishing workshops. These programs emphasize breath-hold diving and underwater locomotion techniques tailored specifically to fin use and aquatic performance. Supporting a vibrant Mermaid Community Meetup, the operation fosters connection and skill-building among enthusiasts.

Avalon’s marine environment is shaped by rocky reefs and kelp forests, home to colorful fish and marine mammals, making the freediving and spearfishing workshops particularly compelling.
