A Mermaid Encounter at Malcolms Beach - 5 year old gets a treat!!

An email request to visit the beautiful Malcolms Beach at the North West side of the island (next stop Bahamas!) to surprise a 5 year old?  Can't say no to that!

A phone call and a couple of emails and we were set to go!

We had asked Dad to tell her through the day that a magical mythical sea creature lived in the ocean outside of the Amanyara Resort where the family where staying ... so she was already feeling the magic!

A walk along the beach later that afternoon led to buried treasure!

Buried Treasure ... a Magical Conch Horn !!  Blow it 3 times and legend has it a Mermaid will appear!

Now these things aren't always the easiest thing to blow, so when 3 loud 'whooooo's' were heard being pretty much yelled through the horn Bella giggled and flipped up her golden tail so she could be seen!

You can imagine the little lady's reaction !!  To see her running along the beach to meet Bella was a beautiful sight, she had a LOT of hair, down to her waist, thick dark curls and they were streaming along behind her as she ran ... very Mermaid like!

Both Mum & Dad had come along to share the Encounter and they all sat and chatted in the shallow safe waters of this rustic and rural area of Providenciales.

Recently there were Reef Balls installed up in this area, so it's gaining more and more popularity with visitors, but even with the beach being gently occupied no-one knew a Mermaid was there, so the encounter was kept entirely private and magical!

An Encounter at Samara Villa

It's been a long time since we posted, but the passed year has been a fun one for Bella :)

Not only has the 'Mermaid Adventure' on the Semi-Sub gone from strength to strength, with literally hundreds of boys and girls getting to see a Real Life Mermaid (from hereon known as a RLM!) but our Private Encounters are proving popular.

Take for example Weds just gone ... Bella was contacted by a lovely lady who we'll call Mrs B.  Mrs B wanted her Grandchildren to meet a RLM and contacted Flukes & Flippers to see if it could be arranged.  Mrs B was hoping that Bella could come to their vacation Villa, the beautiful Samsara on International Drive in Providenciales.

Now whilst pretty much any location can be used, this particular Villa has it's own beach that runs nearly the whole length of the property, and is just a short swim from Coral Reef, so it's the perfect location for an Encounter as the scene was already set!

The siblings were 5, 6 & 9 and needed a few moments to take in what they were seeing ... this is actually very common and Bella knows how to gently encourage the little ones and make them comfortable ... after the initial shock wore off the 4 of them hung out and chatted about pretty much anything and everything!

3 young souls, so alike in so many ways but so so different.  Little Miss P; voracious, giggly, mischievious and CUTE as a button.  Little Mr C; curious, sweet and handsome and the slightly older Miss S; introspective, creative and calm, a young lady with interests in animals and art.

So yes there's a lot of playtime and fun, but time with a Mermaid can be meaningful, heart opening and honest ... it can truly be a beautiful thing xxxx
