Learn ocean safety and beginner surfing basics before practicing in the waves during a 90-minute group lesson at Kaanapali Beach.

About this tour

Trade the shoreline for a first taste of surfing with a 90-minute group lesson at Kaanapali Beach. With an instructor guiding the session, you’ll start on land with an introduction to ocean safety and the beginner basics you need before entering the water.

Then take those fundamentals into the ocean and practice alongside your group. Surfboards, rash guards, and booties are provided, so you can focus on learning and enjoying the waves. Kaanapali Beach group surf lessons are designed for participants who can swim and feel comfortable doing so independently in the ocean. Travelers under 13, or anyone unsure of their swimming ability, should choose a private or semi-private lesson instead.

Check in at the surf booth on the beach walk behind Whaler's Village, between Leilani's Restaurant and The Westin. Book your Kaanapali Beach group surf lesson and get ready to meet the waves.

How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.4. Top 19% in Maui means it ranks in the top 19% of tours in Maui by this score.
