    5* would recommend!

    We had the best lesson with Elliot who was an epic instructor and really took his time with us, was patient and very helpful despite the big waves we faced on the day. Would definitely recommend Wavehuggers, their communication was second to none beforehand and provided an overall great experience!

    HB Surf Lessons a blast

    Elliott was awesome. The kids really enjoyed the time, and got up on the board a few times in some good surf. Would recommend to anyone who's never surfed

    The best surf instrutor ever!

    This is Brittney, one of the students, and Brian was amazing he was very clear on instructions and was awesome at teaching us how to surf! Brian was really good at making sure we understood and was able to tell us what we should fix to get a better surf. I already knew that I would love surfing but with Brian he made me understand more about it and made it way more fun than I thought, it would be. I don't know how much Brian gets paid to do this but I think he definitely deserves a raise! Brian if you're reading this I just want you to know that you're awesome and to keep doing this because you're really good at it! Thank you so much!

    2 Hour Private Group Surf Lessons in Huntington Beach: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Newport Beach.

    How much does 2 Hour Private Group Surf Lessons in Huntington Beach 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 Newport Beach 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 Lessons in Huntington Beach 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 Newport Beach is not rushed.

    Is 2 Hour Private Group Surf Lessons in Huntington Beach worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Newport Beach, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Hour Private Group Surf Lessons in Huntington 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 2 Hour Private Group Surf Lessons in Huntington Beach 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 Lessons in Huntington Beach?

    +

    Around 1 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 Newport 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 Newport Beach 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 Lessons in Huntington 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 Newport 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 Newport Beach?

    +

    Newport Beach runs year-round whale watching out of the harbour, duffy boat and sailing charters, Balboa Island walks and coastal e-bike rides toward Laguna. On Outty we rank every Newport Beach experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Escape Game: 60-Minute Adventures at Irvine Spectrum Center, Whale-Watching Cruise from Newport Beach, Electric Boat Rental in Newport Beach for Up to 12 People. 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 Newport Beach?

    +

    December to April for grey whales, June to September for blue whales. 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 Newport 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.
