Share the stoke in a fun group surf lesson at Turtle Bay. Learn on land, then catch waves with attentive instructors and all gear provided.
Guests must be at least 12 years old to join the public group lesson. If no other surfers book your time, you may be moved to another group time or asked to upgrade to a private lesson. Ocean activities may trigger motion sickness; consider medication beforehand. When booking, include the surfer's name, age and surf experience in the notes section.
Cancel at least 48 hours in advance for a full refund. Operator cancellations due to weather or unforeseen circumstances are fully refunded. No-shows are charged in full.
At Turtle Bay the surf spot can be adjusted to fit the day’s conditions. If needed, complimentary golf cart transfers are provided to and from suitable locations.
Begin with a 15–20 minute land lesson covering safety and technique, then surf for about an hour before reviewing photos at the shop.
Guests must be at least 12 to join a public group lesson. Younger children or those needing extra attention should book a private lesson or Ohana package.

The instructors here are consistently praised for being patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about teaching surfing. Names like Fletcher, Chris, Dane, Scottie, and Haven come up repeatedly, with families especially appreciating how naturally the team works with kids of all ages. First-timers report standing up on their first attempts thanks to concise beach tutorials that translate immediately to success in the water. The vibe is professional yet fun, with instructors sharing stories and local knowledge that adds to the experience. The location at Turtle Bay offers ideal beginner conditions, and instructors adapt to wave conditions by taking groups to alternate spots when needed. Professional photography packages receive enthusiastic recommendations, with guests loving the angles and memories captured. The one notable complaint involves surfboard rentals, where availability was inconsistent and pricing seemed steep for the condition of equipment. If you're coming for lessons though, particularly as a family or first-timer, you'll find an operation that delivers exactly what it promises with genuine aloha spirit.
Awesome experience - had three lessons over a weeks stay with three different instructors and they were all professional, encouraging and fun. Surf experience was great for myself and my 12yo son! Would highly recommend!
