    LOVED this! Highly recommend! 🏄‍♀️

    My family loved our surf lessons on the North Shore with Andy from 808 Surf School. Booking was super easy—808 was quick to respond and really helpful with all our questions. Andy was friendly, patient, safety‑focused, and just a fantastic instructor overall. The spot he took us to was perfect for learning: uncrowded, shallow, and easy to get to. We were able to park right on the side of the road and walk straight out to the water. After the lesson, we grabbed food nearby, which was ideal. We had so much fun, and it honestly ended up being the highlight of our Hawai‘i vacation. We all felt comfortable and actually caught waves. I highly recommend 808 Surf School for a family‑friendly surf experience on Oahu.

    Response from the operator: Mahalo for surfing with us Anna!

    Long term surfers were created today!

    Andy was AWESOME!!! Great teacher. My kids and I were able to stand up right away and we surfed all morning. The kids loved him. He was super patient and really coached them to be future long term surfers. They have a new hobby to enjoy for the rest of their lives. All thanks to Andy and 808 surf school. Also gave us great recommendations for great local spots. Mahalo!

    Absolutely recommend it!...

    Absolutely recommend it! My girlfriend and I had a super great surf lesson with Jon. We've never ridden so many waves as we did that day! Jon did a great job. If you want to learn to surf, this is the right place for you

    Private Group Surf Lesson: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Group Surf Lesson cost?

    +

    Prices start at $95 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 Private Group Surf Lesson 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 Private Group Surf Lesson worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 48 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 Private Group Surf Lesson?

    +

    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 Private Group Surf Lesson 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 Private Group Surf Lesson?

    +

    Around 17 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 Private Group Surf Lesson 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, Oahu Small-Group Circle Island Tour with Turtle Snorkeling, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour. 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.
