Surfing Lessons

Royal Hawaiian Beach Services offers surfing lessons on Oahu for people who want to experience what the operator calls "Hopupu," described as being emotionally excited, a wild enthusiasm and desire to be on the water above everything else. A board is provided, so there is no need to bring equipment for that.

The activity carries a moderate physical intensity and requires a basic ability to swim, so some comfort in the water is worth considering before booking. Participants should bring swimwear and sunscreen. The meeting point is listed as to be announced, so travelers should confirm that detail before the day of the lesson. The activity is weather dependent, meaning the operator may cancel if conditions are not suitable, and customers receive a full refund or credit in that case. To cancel a booking, Royal Hawaiian Beach Services asks that customers contact them by phone. No-shows are charged the full price.
