Wonderful experience. Highly recommend Surf Yoga Maui.
Can't say enough good things about the Surf Yoga Maui team. Eddie, Summer and Sasha were great. Summer made scheduling the lessons a breeze, so friendly and always kept me up to date on the times. Eddie and Sasha were very positive and upbeat. They were very thorough evaluating my skill level and determing my starting point before we got in the water. They made every minute in the water fun but productive at the same time. I was so pleased with my progression and am so happy I chose Surf Yoga Maui. I will definitely work with them again on our next trip to Maui. Mahalo to you guys. 🤙
Response from the operator: We are so happy you had a great time! 😀 Thank you so much for surfing with us..... 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 Surf Lessons
These surf lessons were our absolute favorite part of our Hawaii vacation! Eddie and Coco were very knowledgeable, made sure we had a good time, and looked out for our safety at all times. They had a professional photographer capturing our experience (well worth the extra cost). We had a blast surfing with them, and they also had great local recommendations for lunch afterwards. 10/10!
Response from the operator: Aloha Trevor, Thank you SO much for booking and surfing with us! We are so happy you guys had a great time! 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

My teen loved it!
Our experience with Surf Yoga Maui was great! The text with info about where to meet was clear. The location was only about 10 minutes from our hotel in Wailea, which was nice. My 13yo had a private lesson with Eddie, one of the owners. They provided a rash guard and leggings. He made her feel very comfortable and I felt she was safe with him. They had a short safety lesson on land and then out to the water! Because it was a private lesson, he sometimes towed her back out to make another run; she said paddling back out was the hardest part. She got right up the first time and had a blast! There were a lot of other beginners at this location but that is Hawaii in the summer. Would highly recommend this husband and wife team.
Response from the operator: We are so happy your daughter had a blast! Thank you for bringing her to surf with us.... and thank you for making the special effort to write a review for our company and share your experience with others. We are very grateful! Until next time... A Hui Ho! Kindly, Eddie and Summer

Absolute must do!
Eddie was absolutely amazing! He was so informative that everyone of us got up on our fist wave ever and my husband and I were able to catch a wave at the exact same time!
Response from the operator: Aloha Jenny, We are so happy you guys had a great time! Thank you for surfing with us, and thank you for writing a review for our company. We are very grateful! Kindly, Eddie and Summer

Awesome surf lessons in Kihei! :)
I had my first-ever surf lesson with Eddie while I was visiting Kihei and it was an amazing experience! I had no idea that a fun morning of surfing was so accessible (for a Canadian prairie-girl mom!) - With his help I was able to get up on the first wave and it was a blast for the entire 2 hour lesson. I appreciated his patient instruction and emphasis on how to be safe in the water. The surf lessons are held in relatively shallow water and the waves are the perfect size for learning. I would recommend booking a lesson with Eddie if you are considering learning to surf while you are in Maui! I hope to be able to visit Maui again someday and I will definitely make time for another surf lesson or two! My three sons were able to watch from the beach and they were not ready to try surfing this trip but I definitely would be at ease with them taking a lesson with me next time! I was able to book a lesson online via email to Summer and she was very accommodating and professional. Thank you for the great experience - it was the highlight of my time in Maui! :)
Response from the operator: Aloha Dallas, We are so happy you had a great time surfing! Thank you so much for the review - We are very grateful! Almost everything was closed on the island this last year so I missed seeing this review on here until now. Thank you so much for making the special effort for writing and submitting this. It means the world to us. Until next time, A Hui Ho!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Surf Lessons for Beginners in Kihei at Kalama Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.
How much does Private Surf Lessons for Beginners in Kihei at Kalama Park cost?
+
Prices start at $236 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 Private Surf Lessons for Beginners 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 Private Surf Lessons for Beginners in Kihei at Kalama Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Private Surf Lessons for Beginners 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 Private Surf Lessons for Beginners 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 Private Surf Lessons for Beginners in Kihei at Kalama Park?
+
Around 2 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 Private Surf Lessons for Beginners 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.
