Learn to surf the EASY way! No carrying a heavy surfboard for blocks to get to the beach followed by a perilous tip-toe dance across the sand as you dodge the sunbathers perilously sprawled in your path! No Waikiki crowds arguing over who owns the next wave! Learn to surf where the only people around for a mile are the people who are as smart as you! Beat the crowds, and learn to surf with Hawaiian Surf Adventures.

Round-trip Waikiki transportation is available for just $10 a person, or you can drive yourself to their Hawaii Kai location which is 20 minutes east of Waikiki beach. Once you arrive, you'll get an on-shore lesson on how to stand up on the board. Then the adventure begins! Hawaiian Surf Adventure will take you BY BOAT to an offshore break in spectacular Maunalua Bay! That's right ... you are going to be transported by boat to a great surfing spot that is just too far for others to paddle to on their surfboards. This ensures that you will learn to surf at an uncrowded break and have the waves all to yourself! The boat anchors next to the surf location and acts as an oasis in the bay! Got friends or family who want to go along and watch but don't want to surf? There's a special "observer" rate just for them ... they can ride along on the boat and watch the action close up!

After your lesson, you'll ride the boat back to the shop where you can review photos and videos of your surfing adventure which are available for purchase.

The total lesson / boat time is 2 hours from the start of your land lesson to your return on the boat ... approximate time including Waikiki transportation is 3 hours. Sessions are held three times per day Monday through Saturday at 9am, 12pm, and 2:30pm. Waikiki pickup time is approximately 30-45 minutes prior to lesson time, depending on your hotel.

Surf lesson participants should be in good health and should feel comfortable in the water (life jackets are available upon request). Surf board and rash guards are included. The maximum students per lesson is 8, and the maximum student / instructor ratio is 3:1. No matter how small the class, 2 instructors are always in the water with the students. All instructors are Lifeguard and CPR trained and certified by the City and County of Honolulu. The minimum age for these surf lessons is 8.

ACTIVITY TIPS

Learning to surf is fun and easy ... if you are at the right place and have the proper instruction and guidance. Most people think that the hardest part is "standing up on the board." In reality the hardest part is "catching the wave." This is where an instructor really comes in handy your first time. Just a little push on the tail end of your board can make a huge difference in helping you catch the wave.

Waikiki is a famous beach, with its signature view of Diamond Head and its short walk to dozens of high rise hotels. Waikiki is crowded ... during the peak times of the year it can be tough to find a spot large enough to lie down in the sand. It can be equally tough learning to surf at Waikiki becasue there are so many people floating around on surfboards without a clue what they are doing but hoping to catch the same wave as you. Even when you get lucky, buck the crowds, and catch a wave, there is a good chance someone will be parked on their board sideways in your path just a few yards toward shore. And here you are ... new at this surfing thing ... and you don't know how to turn yet! Somebody is going to need a medic!

We highly recommend to our clients that they get our of Waikiki every chance they get ... whether it is for snorkeling, a luau, kayaking ... or a surf lesson. While many of these things CAN be done in Waikiki, they are better done elsewhere for a truly memorable vacation experience.

The staff at Hawaiian Surf Adventure is friendly and committed to ensuring you have a positive experience. Want to learn to surf? This is your best shot!

Best time of day to learn to surf? It is typically the least windy first thing in the morning, and the wind often builds throughout the day. Our suggestion is to do the 9am time slot if you aren't going to be out late enjoying nightlife the previous evening. 12pm would be our next choice ... some days it is pretty windy by 2:30pm and some days the wind starts tailing off by then. Late afternoon sun does make it a pretty time to be out on the water.

I acknowledge that I have read the booking procedures below and wish to submit this reservation for processing.

Upon submitting your activity reservation for processing, one copy is sent to your e-mail address so that you have a record of your order. We will make reservations for you and send an e-mail confirming all of the details. These confirmations are often sent a few minutes after your reservation, but some activities take longer to confirm than others. You will receive an e-mail confirmation by the end of the next business day at the latest. There are no tickets that you need to pick up prior to your event. Your e-mail confirmation will have all the details you need to check in and enjoy your selected activity. This saves you precious time when you arrive in Hawaii.

A credit card is required to guarantee payment for your reservations, but in most cases WE DO NOT charge your credit card when your order is placed. Your credit card is typically charged five days before you leave for Hawaii, and a voucher is faxed to the vendor. Some activities are charged at the time of check-in and your e-mail confirmation will inform you if this is the case. If you cancel your activity after your credit card has been charged you will receive a refund less 10% to cover our credit card processing costs.

We do have one vendor that requires payment at the time that your reservation is made. These activities are clearly marked on our website with the words, "Payment required at the time of reservation."

After making reservations, you may reschedule or cancel your activity up until 48 hours prior to its start (a few activities have 72 hour cancellation policies ... see your confirmation e-mail for details). Within 48 hours of the start of your activity all reservations are final and non-refundable (unless the event is cancelled by the vendor due to weather or other factors). Due to our incredible climate here, weather cancellations are rare. No-shows and cancellations without adequate notice are charged in full on the credit card used to secure the reservation and are non-refundable.
