Learn to surf together in a private group at Turtle Bay. Start with land instruction, then head into the water with a dedicated guide and a 4:1 guest-to-instructor ratio.
All ages welcome; young children may surf tandem with an instructor. Children under 12 require one-on-one private instruction or must join with parents on an Ohana lesson. Non-swimmers must take a one-on-one private lesson. When booking, include the surfer's name, age and surf experience in the notes section.
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before the lesson. Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. No-shows are charged the full price.
Due to the location at Turtle Bay there are beginner waves year-round. The surfing spot is adjusted to fit conditions, with golf cart transfers if needed.
Start with a 15–20 minute land lesson on ocean safety and technique, then surf for about an hour or more, followed by optional photo review at the shop.

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!
