    Fun for the family in Lihei

    We have taken surfing lessons on past trips to Hawaiian islands, but this one was exceptional. So much fun! Eddie is a fantastic instructor. My husband and I (middle aged) and 17 year old daughter had a blast this morning! Communication about the lesson was excellent as well. Summer contacted me the night before and advised us that conditions would be better a little earlier and she was totally right, of course. I would highly recommend this company! If you’re thinking about it, just book it!

    Response from the operator: Aloha Tamara 😀 We are so happy ya'll had a great time! Thank you so much for bringing your family to surf with us. 😀🏄‍♂️ ☀️ And thank you so much for the review and for sharing your experience with others. We are very grateful! Until next time... A Hui Ho! Kindly, Summer and Eddie ☺️🏝️🌺🌈

    Highlight of our trip!

    Our private surf lesson in Maui with Eddie was the absolute highlight of our trip! I am 30 and my mom is 65 and Eddie tailored the lesson perfectly to our different abilities! He is a fantastic instructor for all ages! The waves at Kalama Park in Kihei were consistent and perfect for learning. My mom has some reservations, but Eddie's patience and expertise in teaching balance and wave timing gave her the confidence to get up on the board! I have a background in snowboarding and wakeboarding but being from the Midwest I have never had the opportunity to surf before. Eddie really helped me translate those skills to the ocean! After some really helpful instruction on my stance paddling and pop up speed from Eddie, I was able to learn how to feel the wave! As the lesson progressed, he challenged me with bigger waves and technical tips that really helped me improve! If you are looking for the best surf instructor for a family or private group, stop searching and book with Eddie! My mom and I created a core memory that we will be able to talk about for the rest of our lives!

    Response from the operator: Aloha Hannah 😀 Thank you so much to you and your mom for coming to surf with us! We are so happy you guys had a great time and love that you shared this memory and experience together. And thank you so much for the review and sharing your experience with others. We are very grateful! Until next time... A Hui Ho! Kindly, Summer and Eddie ☺️🏝️🏄‍♀️🌺

    great time!!!

    We had truly three excellent lessons with Eddie. He was not only helpful in everything we needed, but he also made each session enjoyable and engaging. His enthusiasm for surfing and his ability to teach made a significant difference in our experience. We genuinely appreciated his patience and encouragement, which helped us improve our skills and confidence in the water. Thank you very much, Eddie! We are looking forward to our next surfing adventure with you!

    Response from the operator: Aloha Roman, 😀 We are so happy you guys had an excellent time! Thank you so much for surfing with us, and thank you so much for the review and for sharing your experience with others. It means the world to us! Until next time... A Hui Ho! Kindly, Summer and Eddie ☺️🌺🏄‍♀️

    Phenomenal

    The entire experience was fantastic. Summer made sure to check in and check out experience levels ahead of time to curate a great day. Eddie was phenomenal as our instructor, making sure to tend to each of us and provide great tips for instruction. His outlook, personality, and spirit were beautiful! Highly recommended this experience!

    Response from the operator: Aloha Bianca, We are so happy you all had a fantastic time! Thank you so much for bringing your family to surf with us on your Maui vacation.

    Family Surf Lessons in Kihei at Kalama Park: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Family Surf Lessons in Kihei at Kalama Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $173 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 Family Surf Lessons in Kihei at Kalama Park 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 Family Surf Lessons in Kihei at Kalama Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Family Surf Lessons in Kihei at Kalama Park?

    +

    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 Family Surf Lessons in Kihei at Kalama Park 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 Family Surf Lessons in Kihei at Kalama Park?

    +

    Around 5 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 Family Surf Lessons in Kihei at Kalama Park 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.
