I had a great experience as a first-timer. Kailie, my surf instructor was amazing. She was patient and was just very nice. Enjoyed her instructions and her time. My issue was with Viator. Wish they were clear when you sign up for a class for 1 person. I had to pay extra $$ because it was just me. Nonetheless, thank you to Kailie for making my money worthwhile.

Novice surfing

Philip_G, Apr 2024

The guys even managed to get my wife and I riding the waves, and we're no spring chichens. Very impressive!

Great for family with no surf experience

Merrilyn_H, Apr 2024

Had a great morning out in the water with our surf instructors, Bronson and Kayson. They were patient and were able to work with our entire family (of various skill levels).

I am looking forward to trying again!

Evelyn_G, Mar 2024

Chase was awesome! I had never surfed before, he helped me to be successful and I am excited to try it again sometime!

Surf’s Up!

Mary_D, Mar 2024

We loved the experience. My girls never surfed before and they were on the water in 15 minutes. They were able to maximize their time and did amazing We were also delighted to have 270 pictures of the experience, which I would not have been able to see from the beach. Chase was an excellent instructor. He helped the girls learn and told them when they should stand on the board. They loved it. Highly recommend.

Kim_B, Jan 2024

Great group of instructors and took time to help individualize the lesson for my kids. We wish we had more time to book more lessons.

Great time!

Daniel_B, Jan 2024

Was a very fun lesson for my second time surfing. Joey was a great dude and great at instructing. It can be exhausting but still a lot of fun.

Had Fun

ryan_S, Dec 2023

Never surfed before my son took right to it, while Chase did a great job i had a harder time but did have a few successes. We did have a blast though and now I can mark surfing at Waikiki off my bucket list.

Best first surfing experience!!

Sabrina_P, Dec 2023

Cason and our other instructor (I’m so sorry I can’t recall your name!!) were both phenomenal. We had a large group of 7 and they were so attentive and helpful to each of us. It was our first time surfing and it was such a blast. We highly recommend this surf lesson to anyone who enjoys being in the water!

Great Experience!

Kellan_T, Dec 2023

Awesome experience! Dane showed us the ropes and had us up on the board in no time! Definitely learned a lot and could confidently go out on our own after the lesson. Highly recommended

Fun surf school

Kaysey_C, Dec 2023

Our surf instructor Kayson was great with the family. He was kind, gave clear instruction, and helped tow in folks when they were struggling. 10/10 would recommend.

Must do in Waikiki!

Erin_R, Dec 2023

This was our favorite thing we did on our vacation! Chase was our instructor, and he did an awesome job of encouraging us and giving us feedback. Neither of us had surfed before, and we both got up multiple times during our lesson! We wished we had more free time during our trip so we could book another lesson. Next time we are back on the island, we will book again!

Surfs up !

Anthony_P, Oct 2023

Amazing lesson. Great group of instructors teaching and cheering you on! Our instructors name was Justice and he was awesome. Totally put me at ease and was super encouraging. Both managed to stand in our lesson which we were not expecting. Do this as soon as you get here cause you'll want to go again!
