Shawn/Sean/Shaun was a great instructor. He is very technical in his approach to teaching us the skills that we needed. When I needed more assistance than the rest of my group, he modified the technique necessary. My teenage sons loved the lesson so much, they begged me to rent a board the next day to go back.
Super fun!

Luca was a great instructor and had both my kids up on their board within just a few tries. He was friendly and funny and my kids had a blast!
Worth it!!

We did a private lesson for our family of 4 with kids aged 11 and 14. Our instructor was patient and kind. It was Awesome having assistance catching the waves at the right moment - everyone surfed successfully and had a blast. Built our confidence enough to rent boards on our own later in the week.
Best vacation day!

Amazing experience for a first timer to get the rules of the waves and basic skills. They made this process so enjoyable from check in to surf time. Renting a board from them as well for follow up day to keep practicing!
Great Waves, Great Time

Titus was a GREAT instructor and made the outing easy and very fun. The entire family had an amazing afternoon out in the waves.
Great fraction of a class

Great time. Good instructors but super expensive. Not worth price. We paid $530 for 1 adult and 2 kids. Lesson started 40 min late but ended right before scheduled time. We were in water a little over 30 min when we paid for a 1.5 hr lesson. We lost half of the class and it was not made up. We checked in on time and got to beach on time as well. We didn't get to keep boards after lesson either so our surfing experience was very short. Kids we surfing though so that was great to see.
Response from Host , Nov 2021
Aloha Family, This is distressing to hear about. Could you please give us a call. We do want to rectify this if you will give us a chance. Workers are not in peril but it is something we do want to address and not have this happen again. Fortunately unusual but we do want to be able to work on this.
**TO UPDATE** We did explore and recover the overpayment from the company that booked these 3 PRIVATE lessons.
So much fun!

I had a private surf lesson with Mitchell. This was my first time ever even touching a surf board. He was an amazing instructor and he had me up on the board within a few attempts. He is very personable and I enjoyed chatting with him while we waited for the right waves - which he is an expert at spotting. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who has thought about trying surfing.
Awesome!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
