Maui Surfer Girls… simply fantastic!
Natalie was fabulous! She was a great coach, so knowledgeable and encouraging…my daughter and I loved our surfing experience with her. We look forward to surfing with her again!

Surf's up, thumbs up! 2.0!
Came back a second time for a group surf lesson prior to leaving Maui. The weather was not the most cooperative but Maui Surface Girls was very reasonable with their accommodations and allowed me attend part of 2 separate classes to make up for lost time. Even though I was booked as part of a group, Jedi took time to get me up on a couple of waves while the rest of the class finished their lesson. He also swam out to pull me into a shallower area after I drifted out deeper than I attended. Mario the photographer captured some great shots! Surfing was definitely a highlight of my Maui trip, thanks again Maui Surfer Girls!

Bucket list item!
My daughter (23) and I (52) wanted to attempt to surf. We were first timers and had some goals for surfing. With our instructor, Sloane, we accomplished our goals!! The team of instructors was very encouraging, enthusiastic and gave great tips for improving after each attempt. I would highly recommend Maui Surfer Girls - and lucky you if you get Sloane!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.
How much does Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches cost?
+
Prices start at $165 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 Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches 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 Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 102 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 Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches?
+
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 Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches 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 Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches?
+
Around 36 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 Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches 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, West Maui Snorkeling Experience by Boat from Ka'anapali, Maui Eco-Raft Tour: Eye-Level Whale or Dolphin Watching - Lahaina. 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.
What is included in Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches?
+
Included: Booties & Rash Guard Shirt; Longboards, soft tops and hard tops; and Experienced & Licensed English Guide. Not included: Gratuity for your Instructor. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Semi Private Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches?
+
You will see our white, logo'ed surf truck parked on the side of the highway. It's easiest to park near our truck on the. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+
