    Hitting the waves for the first time

    As we were staying at the Kaimana Beach Resort, Kai's school couldn't be more convenient, as it's just by the front lobby. Our daughter had never surfed before, and Turner had her up and flying within minutes of hitting the water. Kaimana Beach is a wonderfully safe and uncrowded stretch south of the main Waikiki tourist crush, with good beginner and intermediate waves. The camera attached to the front of the boards made for some great photos and videos to remember it all. Our daughter really appreciated Turner's patience and skill in teaching. Highly recommended!

    Surfs up 🤙

    We had a blast. Instructors, Noah, was great. 11 and 13 yr old boys had blast. Very safe, never felt any danger and was able to enjoy the whole session. Adults able to stand in water even though we went out far. Kids were able to stand some times but strapped to floating board. Was safe enough where I let my 11 yr old take off his vest w no worries.

    Great day of surfing

    We had a great time and learned a lot. Our instructor was great with our kids (11 & 16) and got both of them up on their boards quickly. We all had a blast.

    Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction cost?

    +

    Prices start at $106 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 Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction 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 Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 33 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 Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction?

    +

    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 Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction 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 Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction?

    +

    Around 12 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 Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction 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 Oahu: Full or Half Day Grand Circle Island Tour, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour, Oahu Majestic Circle Island Tour with Waimea Falls and Byodo Inn. 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 Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction?

    +

    Included: All taxes, fees and handling charges; and Local taxes. Not included: Souvenir photos (available to purchase); and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction?

    +

    We are located at the Kaimana Beach Hotel, 2836 Kalakaua Ave #102, Honolulu, HI 96816, our shop is located right by the hotel lobby entrance and valet parking. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Group Surf Lesson: Two Hours Of Beginners Instruction if the weather is bad?

    +
