Mermaiding: Fun with Fins in Cuba

The first time I did mermaiding in the Philippines a couple of years ago. I was so taken by it that I wanted to try it again. As soon as I had bought a mermaid tail online, I could entertain myself on any beach. Recently, I managed to swim in Cuba, off the island of Cayo Guillermo. This is an absolutely ridiculous pastime, but it brings me great pleasure. Sometimes, I’m a bit lazy to drag the mermaid tail along on a trip because it’s quite bulky and you can’t pack it in a suitcase, but it weighs very little and is not difficult to carry around.

  • It was one of the most difficult dreams to realise. I’d always wanted to swim and play with dolphins, the most amazing creatures on Earth. But simply because they are so smart and wonderful, I'm against dolphinariums. So I found a place where dolphins live in the most natural environment - the sea. Dolphin Island is located 1 km from the shore of Punta Cana, and is the only place in the Dominican Republic where you can swim with dolphins in their natural habitat.

  • For many travelers Thailand seems to have become a second home. Tropical beaches with turquoise water, glorious cuisine, luxury SPAs and affordability -Thailand draws you like a magnet and doesn't want to let you go away from its solar hugs. TripTemptation spent a month in this tropical paradise, enjoying the best that the tourist island of Phuket has to offer.

  • Langkawi is located just 30 kilometers off the northwest coast of the Malay Peninsula. It is a beautiful archipelago of 104 islands, surrounded by the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea. Some of the islands are inhabited, but some are just like bare rocks sitting in the sea during high tides.

  • As a big fan of and frequent visitor to the Maldives, I’m often asked which accommodation is best when travelling to these sunny islands. On Angsana Velavaru, the choice is obvious – it has to be a water villa. Angsana’s second Maldivian property, which has a strong Asian feel, is most notable for its ‘InOcean’ water villas. Their uniqueness lies in their remoteness from the shore and absolute privacy – the stand-alone structures are situated a kilometre from the main island and are reachable only by boat across the lagoon.

  • We picked the finest hotels - definitely worth the journey for your more memorable holiday ever.

  • Discover the real Thailand in the Trang and Nakhon Si Thammarat provinces. Beautiful islands, green national parks, historical temples and amazing, authentic Thai food.
