Great surf lesson
Awesome experience learning how to surf. Our instructor Jake was the best - super thorough and he was incredibly helpful. We we’re able to catch plenty of waves and he was huge in helping us get enough momentum into the wave.

We had such a fun time...
We had such a fun time learning to surf! Our instructor Cady was so great. Both my fiancé and I have never surfed before and Cady got us both up in the water during our lesson! We will definitely book again next time we’re in the area!
Response from the operator: Hi! Thank you so much for writing this positive review. We're so stoked you and your fiance had a great time surfing with us. Let us know when you're ready to get back out there with us!

Such a great experience!
Cady, our Wavehuggers instructor, was fabulous! My husband and I are true surfing novices. We started with an on-land lesson to familiarize us with the surf board, the body mechanics of getting up on the board, some stretching, and safety tips. Cady was thorough and engaging. In the water, as we had a private lesson, Cady was able to give each of us individual coaching, which was great! We really enjoyed this experience. We highly recommend it and will do it again when we get back to the SD area in the future.

Fantastic!
Jake was a fantastic coach and instructor… thank you Jake for making us feel safe and comfortable and meeting us each at our own level!

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Hour Private Group Surf Lesson in La Jolla: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Jolla.
How much does 2 Hour Private Group Surf Lesson in La Jolla cost?
+
Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Jolla usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Hour Private Group Surf Lesson in La Jolla take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 La Jolla is not rushed.
Is 2 Hour Private Group Surf Lesson in La Jolla worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in La Jolla, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Hour Private Group Surf Lesson in La Jolla?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2 Hour Private Group Surf Lesson in La Jolla suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Hour Private Group Surf Lesson in La Jolla?
+
Around 2 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 La Jolla 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 La Jolla and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Hour Private Group Surf Lesson in La Jolla 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 La Jolla 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 La Jolla?
+
La Jolla is San Diego's best water day: kayak tours into the sea caves, snorkelling with leopard sharks in the ecological reserve, coastal walks with sea lions and sunset sails. On Outty we rank every La Jolla experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cali Dreaming Electric Bike Tour of La Jolla and Pacific Beach, Incredible Slot Canyons to the Pacific, SoCal Riviera Electric Bike Tour of La Jolla and Mount Soledad. 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 La Jolla?
+
June to September for warm water, year-round for kayaking. 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 La Jolla?
+
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.
