Group Lessons

At Waikiki Surfing School, you'll discover why locals consistently recommend their group lessons Honolulu visitors and residents alike can't stop talking about. This family-owned surf school has perfected the art of teaching Hawaii's signature sport, maintaining an impressive 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio that guarantees personalized attention as you tackle Oahu's legendary waves.

Your 2-hour adventure begins at scenic Ala Moana Park—just look for the meeting spot near the curve and volleyball courts after entering from Kamakee Street. Here, experienced instructors walk you through proper technique and essential ocean safety before you hit the water. The extended session gives you plenty of time to find your rhythm and build real confidence on the board.

What sets these group lessons Honolulu apart is the relaxed, small-group atmosphere. Beginners progress at their own pace without feeling rushed, while the dedicated instruction ensures everyone gets the help they need. You'll be fully equipped with reef shoes to protect against sharp coral and rocks, plus rash guards that shield you from both sun exposure and board friction during your time in the ocean.

The school suggests bringing sunscreen and recommends long-sleeve rash guards for extra protection, though their provided gear covers everything essential to get you started safely.

Planning is stress-free with their flexible 24-hour cancellation policy—full refunds or credits are available, and weather-related cancellations by the operator also receive complete refunds. Whether you're a local looking to finally learn or a visitor wanting to experience Hawaii's most iconic activity, these sessions offer exceptional value.

Starting from $89 per person, you'll learn from experts in one of the world's most beautiful surf destinations while mastering the waves that make Hawaii legendary.
