Learn to surf at a quiet North Shore break with personalized coaching, a land lesson, and the chance to spot Hawaiian green sea turtles.

About this tour

Trade Waikiki’s busy shoreline for a quieter local break on Oahu’s North Shore. This North Shore Oahu private surf lesson pairs hands-on instruction with a setting where Hawaiian green sea turtles are often spotted.

Begin on land with guidance on paddling and your pop-up, then take those skills into the water. Your coach tailors the session to your comfort level and swimming ability, making the lesson a fit for a range of ages and experience levels. Choose a 1-hour or 2-hour session, with private and group formats available. Surfboard rental and personalized coaching are included, and well-behaved dogs can come along if they are comfortable in the water.

For a more personal way to experience the waves, book a North Shore Oahu private surf lesson and learn at a local break rather than a crowded tourist beach.

  • Build confidence with coaching tailored to your comfort and swimming ability

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide 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 Oahu
  • 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 7.3. Top 36% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 36% of tours in Oahu by this score.
