I had Landon as my...
I had Landon as my instructor and he was great! I was a beginner and he was fun and patient with me. I even briefly stood on a few waves. it was a blast and I would highly recommend! It was an awesome experience and a beautiful location.

1000/10 Experience, could not recommend more!
Mike was my instructor at Doheny Beach, and I had the BEST TIME! For a first time surfer I was determined not to be intimidated by the waves, and Mike made me feel really confident and cool out on the water. Not only is he an incredible instructor, but he's just a genuinely cool guy and it felt like I was hanging with a friend. I HIGHLY recommend this experience if you are a beginner/have never surfed before--you couldn't be in better hands! I know I will be back in the future for another day of surfing! <3

Excellent way to get your feet wet
Had a fantastic experience! David was an awesome instructor and balanced teaching with experience on the waves. Excellent intro to surfing on tame shores but with steady waves.

1.5 Hour Surf Lesson in Laguna Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Laguna Beach.
How much does 1.5 Hour Surf Lesson in Laguna Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Laguna Beach usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1.5 Hour Surf Lesson in Laguna Beach take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Laguna Beach is not rushed.
Is 1.5 Hour Surf Lesson in Laguna Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 84 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Laguna Beach, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1.5 Hour Surf Lesson in Laguna Beach?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1.5 Hour Surf Lesson in Laguna Beach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1.5 Hour Surf Lesson in Laguna Beach?
+
Around 29 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Laguna Beach can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Laguna Beach and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1.5 Hour Surf Lesson in Laguna Beach start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Laguna Beach within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Laguna Beach?
+
Laguna Beach, CA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Laguna Beach by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Laguna Beach experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Laguna Beach Open Ocean Kayaking Tour with Sea Lion Sightings, Walking Food Tour of Laguna Beach, Laguna Beach Backroads Electric Bike Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Laguna Beach?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Laguna Beach, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Laguna Beach?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
