About this tour, from the operator

Learn to surf on Oahu’s iconic Waikiki Beach with a 2-hour group lesson led by certified, professional instructors. Join fellow beginners and discover the secrets to riding waves, starting with a safety briefing and on-sand training before heading into the water. With a small student-to-instructor ratio of 1:3 or 1:4, participants get personalized attention and are more likely to stand up on their first wave, making this an ideal introduction to surfing in Hawaii.

Participants of this lesson must be able to swim without life jacket.
