Awesome Experience
Kekai is the man. He made a white boy from Minnesota think he had a little bit of motion out there
via Tripadvisor
Wonderful experience and great teacher!
Great experience! So fun for my two teenagers. Very grateful! Kekai was a great instructor and connected great with my teen boys.
via Tripadvisor
Definitely Recommend
Great time out there! Our instructor was fun, explained everything well, but most importantly, got straight to surfing! We didn’t sit around, after some instruction, he took us out there so we could immediately start hitting the waves. Do be careful of stepping on a sea urchin though! Otherwise it was awesome!
via Tripadvisor
Great Surf, Great Vibes!
It was our second time surfing, and we had an amazing experience! Kekai was really friendly and patient, guiding us through the session with ease. Surfing itself was a highlight – the vibe was relaxed yet motivating, and we just loved spending time in the water. Mahalo!-
via Tripadvisor
Great family experience!
My family was so nervous to be out in the ocean but Kekai and Koa were amazing and made us quickly feel comfortable. All of us got up and our 8 and 10 year olds did quite well surfing! All thanks to the great tips we got from Kekai and Kia. We definitely recommend them and would take lessons from them again!

Why this scores 65

Beginner Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Beginner Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Beginner Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu 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 Oahu is not rushed.
Is Beginner Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu 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 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Beginner Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu?
+
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 Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu 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 Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu?
+
Around 7 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 Oahu 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 Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beginner Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu 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 Oahu 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 Oahu?
+
On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona Memorial & Honolulu Deluxe Coach Tour, Waikiki: Turtle Canyon Snorkel Adventure on Oahu, Hidden Gems of Oahu Circle Island Tour with Byodo In Temple. 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 Oahu?
+
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 Oahu?
+
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.
What is included in Beginner Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu?
+

Where is the meeting point for Beginner Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu?
+

What languages is Beginner Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu offered in?
+
