Who is the Magical Mermaid Trip for?
Have you always been enchanted by “The Little Mermaid” and interested in fantasy and the seas? Then you’ve come to the right place! With this MerPeople Retreat and Mermaid School we want to create a place here where like-minded water lovers can connect, share and go home with love in their hearts, long lasting memories, friends for life and stunning photos and videos.
To take part in this Mermaid Retreat it is important that you can swim well and safely. In addition, we recommend a general basic level of fitness, because swimming in mermaid tails, especially in the open sea, can be exhausting.
Most underwater shoots will take place in shallow water. Should it get a little deeper, you have support on the water surface, such as a safety person or a buoy to hold on and rest. Accordingly, you are welcome to join even if you have no experience in free diving, scuba diving or mermaiding at all. We cater for all levels, from aspiring mers to professionals.
Because we firmly believe that mermaids and mermen come in all sizes, shapes, colours, ages and genders, there is no visual criteria to meet. However, participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian.
We value kindness, encouragement, and a team-oriented mindset. Remember, our only competition is who we were yesterday.
Unforgettable Photoshoot Experiences:
Elevate your mermaid journey with captivating photoshoots set against the stunning backdrop of Elba. Our dedicated team will ensure that every moment is expertly captured, resulting in breathtaking images that you’ll treasure for years to come.
Optional Video Packages:
Enhance your experience with personalized video packages, including highlights of your mermaid adventure, underwater model movies, and deluxe cinematic films. Contact Jens and Melli from D Image Factory to pre-book your video package today.
