This was an incredible experience! I was nervous because I was worried my kids too young to have the coordination. Our instructors were absolutely amazing and made the experience what it was. Our instructors, Z and Lugo, were so kind, patient and encouraging. They were my kids’ biggest champions and celebrated every successful ride with so much enthusiasm. All four of us were able to stand up on our first attempts and we all left with so much confidence! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Make sure you ask for Z and Lugo!

Mario was amazing. He gave my daughter who is 9 confidence and she caught her 1st wave before us so earned herself some ice cream
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Mario knows what he’s doing…..straight to the ice cream win!! 😂🍦🤙
So stoked Mario could help build your daughter's confidence and get her riding like a pro. Sounds like she earned that treat (and some bragging rights, too). Come back and surf with us again!

Austin and Mario were awesome instructors. They had the four of us, who had never surfed before up, and riding waves in no time. We had an excellent time!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
We love hearing this, mahalo for sharing your surf experience!
Austin and Mario are such a solid team, and we especially love getting first-timers up and catching waves right from the start. That first ride feeling never gets old. 🌊✨

We arranged lessons for our 4 kids (21, 17, 17 and 14 - w/ limited prior surfing experience) they all had a great experience and were able to ride many waves. The instructors were great. Highly recommend!!!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Mahalo for choosing us for your crew! Our surf instructors truly enjoy working with all ages (yes, 14–21 totally counts as kids in our book 😉), and it means a lot to hear that they helped make it such a great Maui experience. We appreciate the recommendation!
Michael_Q, Feb 2026
We booked a private surf lesson for myself, our 2 sons and our 8 and 10 year old grand son and daughter. Z our instructor was patient, positive and had us riding the waves just like the locals (well, sort of) within our first 30 minutes. There's a photographer there who took a ton of great photos which we happily purchased. Highly recommend if you want to have an epic time on your vacation
Response from Host, Feb 2026
We love this so much—thank you! 🌊
It sounds like an epic family session, and we’re so glad Z helped everyone feel confident with catching waves (locals-in-training totally counts 😉). Multi-generation surf days are our favorite, and we’re stoked you went home with great memories and photos to prove it. Mahalo for trusting us with such a special part of your Maui vacation—we hope to see your ʻohana back in the water again soon!

Wonderful experience with instructor Mac!! We recently left Honolulu and their surf lessons were very over crowded and were watching people dodging each other. Surfing here was very calm and nice to have private instruction without a large group. This is a must do in Maui!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Mahalo for the stoke! 🤙 We’re so glad you loved the calm, uncrowded vibes and private time in the water with Mack—this is how Maui surfing should feel. Come back anytime for more waves and good times! 🌊😄
Jasjit_S, Dec 2025
Excellent teaching and cater to your level of comfort! Timely and professional and instruction was on target!
Response from Host, Dec 2025

Danqing_K, Dec 2025
This was our first surfing lesson and it was absolutely amazing! Both Mario and Mack were professional, patient and gave clear instructions. The kids had a blast and couldn't wait to do it again!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Mahalo for the awesome review! We’re so glad your first surf lesson was such a great experience and that Mario and Mack made it fun, clear, and supportive for everyone—especially the kids. We’d love to welcome your family back for another session in the waves 🌊🤙
Keith_M, Dec 2025
Mack and Curran were fantastic! Very accommodating of the needs of our group. Great teachers/coaches. We had a bunch of new surfers and everyone got up and shredded multiple waves. They also provided some great local recommendations. .
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We’re stoked to hear Mack and Curran took such good care of your group! 🤙 Mahalo for surfing with us, and we hope to see you back out on the water again!
Hayley_M, Dec 2025
Mario and Luke were great surf instructors. They were very supportive and encouraging, and gave good tips and feedback after each wave. They made sure we were ready with a proper on-shore demo before getting in the water. They also had someone on shore taking photos for us that we could purchase at the end.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Mahalo for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your lesson—the guys will be thrilled to hear your kind words. 🤙

Fun experience! The instructors were very friendly and helpful. Everyone in our group had success getting up on the waves, even the youngest who is 10.

Mario and Mateo were professional, fun and we all surfed pretty quickly. It was a bucket list item checked off for me (54, mom of three). I was shocked when I stood up and surfed on my first try…though the surf was lower/easy the day we went. there were four of us and two of them, and we surfed so much were exhausted by the end of our lesson and ready to be done! Lol. Highly recommend!

Mario was a wonderful
Instructor. He was patient and made sure everyone was safe but had fun. All three of my boys got the hang of it with his coaching quickly. They really enjoyed it and did not want to quit. Mario was just as good with teens as he was at preteens.

Austin and Ramon were awesome guides that were incredibly helpful throughout the experience. My entire family and I were able to catch some waves. We had a great time and truly appreciate the guidance received. I'd definitely recommend this excursion for both inexperienced surfers and those with a little experience that are looking to improve!

Karen_M, Apr 2025
Our guides were fantastic. They did a great job of teaching us the basics before we got in the ocean. My whole family felt safe and comfortable throughout the experience. The guides were very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. We were all successful surfers by the time we were finished. The location was great and we were even able to watch whales jumping and playing in the ocean as we waited for waves. Be sure to wear a lot of sunscreen on the back of your legs… we did get fairly burned since you’re lying on your stomach as you wait for waves.
