Learn surf safety on land, then practice catching waves with personalized coaching during a full two-hour Lahaina private surf lesson.

About this tour

Build confidence on the water during a Lahaina private surf lesson designed to give you a full two hours to learn, laugh, and ride. Your session begins on land with instruction in surf safety and technique, so you can get comfortable with the basics before heading into the ocean.

Once in the water, put those skills to work as you practice catching waves with an instructor nearby. A low student-to-instructor ratio of 3:1 allows for personalized coaching throughout the lesson. Rashguards, water shoes, and surfboards are provided; bring your own sunscreen, water, and towel.

Lessons meet at The Guardrails on Honoapiʻilani Highway, just south of mile marker 19 in West Maui. Park on the mountainside, cross the road safely, and head down to the beach to meet your instructors. Children ages 5–9 require a private lesson, and the experience is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or those who are pregnant. Book your Lahaina private surf lesson and take your first steps toward riding a wave.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.98 from 90 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

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 8.8. Top 11% in Maui means it ranks in the top 11% of tours in Maui by this score.
