Learn to surf away from the crowds of Waikiki in a more local surf break. My goal is to have customers catch the most waves possible and capture all the moments on provided GoPro cameras. This surfing lesson is unique as I limit it to just two students. This maximizes wave count and overall quality of the experience. Videos and pictures are included at no additional cost.

I had instructor Jack,...
I had instructor Jack, the surfingsensei and he was amazing! His instructions were clear and so easy to follow. Very nice, friendly, and encouraging! I did the semi-private lesson and only had one other person, it was fantastic! I love that the videos from the GoPro were included in the price. If you’re thinking about booking this, the answer is DO IT!!!

Amazing surf lesson!
This is I’m sure the best surfing lesson on Oahu! Our instructor Jack was awesome and we both managed to pick it up within a few waves. The spot the lesson takes place at is great, easy to find and free parking. Loved it, mahalo!

Great experience and highly recommend!!!
Michael and his group of instructors are fantastic and I would highly recommend!!! I booked this for my husband and 2 boys and they all loved it and say it was the highlight of our trip. All the details are taken care of (shoes, rash guard, board, GoPro) and I appreciate their small class ratio (1 instructor for each of my family members) to keep everyone safe and help everyone conquer the waves. I easily watched from the shore and afterwards we have loved the numerous provided GoPro videos! Thank you for such a fun experience and we will do it again when we return :)

Fantastic first time surfing experience
This was absolutely perfect for a first time, middle aged, surfer. The surfing coach Jack was super helpful and patient. Everything was clearly explained and he was very supportive after each attempt. Through his guidance I managed to stand up and surf after a few tries. The included videos are great and prove to my family and friends I really did surf! The beach is ideal, beautiful, quiet and ideal conditions for a novice. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience it was amazing and a holiday highlight.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos cost?
+
Prices start at $125 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 Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos 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 219 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 Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos?
+
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 Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos?
+
Around 77 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos 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 Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos?
+
Included: surfboards, rash guards, reef shoes, GoPro cameras. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos?
+
We will meet at Ala Moana Beach park near Kewalos harbor and the volleyball courts. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos offered in?
+
It is offered in Japanese and 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 Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos?
+

+
