    Cool activity!

    Pedro was my girls instructor! He was so awesome! So patient and so good with my little ones! They loved every minute! The pics were worth it! They wanted to go back! FYI they give u rash guard shirts. However we should have bought something to cover my kids legs. They did get the surf board rash. Overalll great experience!

    Loved It!

    First timer here. Pedro was the instructor. Group of 4. Pedro was very knowledgeable and patient. I got the basics I needed both in and out of the water. At one point, another instructor even helped Pedro to get me standing on the board. I definately need more practice. Rental on my own with Surf Club Maui would be $45. The hardest part was swimming back out to catch a wave, as it was tiring. I cant say enough about how pleased I am with this whole operation. They provided everything I needed for the lesson. All 4 Surf Club Maui people I encountered were happy doing their jobs and I didnt feel like just another tourist. Btw, the photographer captured a great shot of me.

    Relaxing, fun and enjoyable

    Learning how to surf and also swim with turtles at the same time it’s an amazing experience. Our instructor Epes was amazing and offered us a 10/10 experience. Very kind and patience.

    An amazing experience!

    An amazing experience! Epes was a great teacher, patient, energetic and encouraging. Our group (4 of us) all had an amazing experience and were all surfing waves very quickly. Could not recommend enough!

    Excellent lesson!

    My kids (ages 11 & 15) had an AMAZING experience with Action Sports (Surf Club Maui)!! They were able to get up on the board on the first try. It was really well organized and the surf instruction was incredible. Out instructor, Jonathan, was so patient and helpful. My kids loved every minute. He did such a great job teaching them, that they were able to get up on a surf board on their own the next day when we rented them. Highly recommend!!!

    Beginner Group Surf Lesson on Maui South Shore: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Beginner Group Surf Lesson on Maui South Shore cost?

    +

    Prices start at $104 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Beginner Group Surf Lesson on Maui South Shore 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 Maui is not rushed.

    Is Beginner Group Surf Lesson on Maui South Shore worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Beginner Group Surf Lesson on Maui South Shore?

    +

    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 Beginner Group Surf Lesson on Maui South Shore 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 Beginner Group Surf Lesson on Maui South Shore?

    +

    Around 3 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 Maui 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 Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beginner Group Surf Lesson on Maui South Shore 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 Maui 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 Maui?

    +

    Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, Maui: VIP Private Road to Hana Tour with Pick Up, Road to Hana Adventure Maui Tour with Lunch. 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 Maui?

    +

    April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. 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 Maui?

    +

    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.
