A pioneer of the global mermaid movement and passionate advocate for ocean conservation issues, Mahina’s story is inspirational with a quotient of magic.
One of the worlds first professional mermaids in 2004; two years later, Mahina’s Original 2006 eco-friendly MerFin designs were the first of their kind in the world.
The MerFin provides an authentic feeling of swimming with a sense of fluidity, freedom and connection with oneself when entering the water whilst simultaneously encouraging a spirit of connection, care and responsibility toward the ocean in return.
Brainchild of MerDive Watersport & MerGirl Ocean Lifestyle Culture ~ A culture that Empowers She to Protect the Sea; Mahina believes the more women are in the water; the more powerful the engagement is in the holistic and wellbeing attitudes and cultures that surround it and emerge from it; on personal, social and environmental levels.
“While out there exploring, my hope is that all of your senses are enlivened by the natural gifts of the world around you; As we revel in nature’s playgrounds; we find a natural response of love, care and respect for our living planet and all the creatures that belong here..”

Due to ongoing global shipping challenges - including significant increases in freight costs, fuel prices, and international tariffs - we’ve made the difficult decision to temporarily pause direct-to-customer online orders for our MerFins.
Over the past few years, we’ve done everything we can to absorb and subsidise these rising costs. However, shipping large items like monofins has now reached a point where it is no longer sustainable for us to offer this service without compromising the long-term health of our business.
For those wishing to purchase Mahina MerFins, we warmly invite you to visit our Stockists page to find a retailer near you. Supporting our global network of stockists also allows for a more accessible and cost-effective purchasing experience.
Wholesale Enquiries Welcome
If you’re interested in becoming a Mahina Mermaid stockist, we would love to hear from you. We offer low minimum order quantities (MOQs) starting from just 10 fins, making it easier and more cost-effective to bring Mahina MerFins into your store. Please reach out to us at: wholesale@mahinamermaid.com
Looking Ahead
This shift reflects the current global landscape - but we remain hopeful. As conditions evolve, we would love to return to offering direct online orders in the future. Our intention has always been to make Mahina MerFins accessible to ocean lovers around the world, and we will continue to explore ways to do so sustainably.
Thank you for your understanding, your support, and for being part of the Mahina community.
For the ocean, always..
