Great first time surfing experience with Shane and Neil - Before we went on this surfing lesson, my wife was a bit under the weather and nervous as she is not a strong swimmer. However, the location was great for just about anybody. You can surf and literally stand up in the water if needed. The surfboard provided was very large and stable, great for beginners. I was able to stand up pretty much right away and had a great time. My wife fell a couple of times and got scared. However, our instructors Shane and Neil refused to give up and kept guiding her until she finally got that crazy good wave and rode the entire wave! They are very patient and very determined. You can tell that they thoroughly enjoy what they do. Communication with them starts the day before and they are very detailed with the meet up location. All equipment were provided for us and they even take pictures and videos for you while you surf (small charge). The weather that day was amazing and the waves were perfect, not too crazy and enough for us to ride. For a first time surfing, I never felt nervous about getting hurt or injured. It is a great workout as well. Money well spent!

You can do it! - If you think that you can't do it because of your age, don't let that stop you because the instructors are great and they help you get on the board, an unforgettable experience, a challenge and a dream come true! 🤙🏼

Awesome experience! - The instructors are very invested in making sure you have fun! Everyone in our group caught some waves including inexperienced swimmer like me (they provided me a life vest which helped a lot). The instructors are very friendly and easy to talk to, I really enjoyed learning surf from them. They also took us on a snorkeling adventure which was absolutely amazing. We saw some turtles and different kinds of fish. It was a very memorable experience indeed. Highly recommend this experience!

Excellent family experience - Shane and Neil made my lifelong dream of learning to surf come true. We brought our two daughters (6 and 10) and they had a blast. We were worried that our youngest one would get a scared, but Shane made her (and us) feel so comfortable and madd the experience so fun that it didn’t become an issue at all.
We are so glad that we chose this company and you will too. Shane and Neil did such an amazing job teaching us the basics and we were all riding waves within the first few attempts.
Highly recommended!!

Learn to surf from some pros - This was a great way to try out surfing! You get out on the water right away but get to practice first in a sheltered area where the waves don't come in. This gives you a good way to practice standing up on the board. After that you head out to where the waves are. Shane and Neal really want to make sure you have a great time. They will help you catch as many waves as you can before you get too tired. If you are a fast learner, they will let you try some more advanced stuff like catching your own waves. I had a great time and got some good surfing advice from them.
The water where you are at can be on the shallower side and bumpy, especially if you are able to ride the wave in. I recommend wearing a rashguard and reef shoes. If you don't have reef shoes, they may have some in your size that you can borrow.

Great lesson - Great experience with Noel, Tom and Chris. Only downfall was we booked a 2 hour lesson and were only given 1 hour. They seemed to think that was all the time we had so I didn’t say anything but maybe this site needs to be updated to list the time as 1 hour? In the end we got a great lesson just wish we had gotten the time we had paid for, per the Viator site

What a great teacher and ambassador! - Shane was so accommodating and such a great teacher. My daughter and I were standing up and riding on our very first wave! Shane, passionate for surfing, teaching, and the island really shines through. 10 out of 10, would absolutely recommend.

BOOK THIS!! - We booked a couple of different activities, and this was our favorite BY FAR!! Shane and Captain Neil were AMAZING! My husband and I had a great time learning to surf and caught some good waves!! I almost backed out because I am #1, not a confident swimmer, and #2, not exactly a fit person, but Shane and Captain Neil made this experience so great. They were super knowledgeable, safe, and patient with us. They don't take on more students then they can handle so we got a one on one experience. Both instructors have so much experience you are truly in the best of hands! Seriously, book this, you won't regret it!!

Best Surf Lessons in Waikiki - Shane and Captain Neil are awesome! We had the best surf lesson in Waikiki, everyone in our group was able to stand up and surf with their guidance and positive motivation. Even when our arms were tired from paddling, they helped push us along, which was very helpful. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. We highly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn to surf in Hawaii, very friendly, great people!
