About this experience
Skip the Waikiki zoo and head to where you can learn to surf without the crowds. Ala Moana Beach Park offers something you won't find in those packed tourist breaks: room to breathe and waves that won't intimidate beginners. This spot delivers the ideal learning environment-warm waters, gentle rollers, and space to practice without dodging other surfers.
Your session kicks off on the beach with essential safety and technique fundamentals before you paddle out together. Choose between the focused 1-hour lesson or the comprehensive 2-hour experience, with each session building skills step by step. The program specializes in working with young groms aged 3-11 through private one-on-one instruction, which means your keiki gets full attention and progresses at their own pace.
Depending on size and comfort level, some students start tandem-style with the instructor on the board, while others are ready to catch waves solo with close supervision. The beauty of this program lies in its flexibility-every lesson adapts to what works best for each surfer.
You'll stay close to your Waikiki base while escaping the chaos. Round-trip hotel transportation takes the stress out of getting here, and you won't waste time hunting for parking. Everything's included: quality surfboard, rashguard, and reef shoes. Just bring your swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen.
This experience welcomes ages 3 and up, making it perfect for families who want real instruction. With all gear provided and hotel transfers handled, you can focus on what matters-catching your first taste of Hawaiian surf culture.
