About this tour
Give young surfers a memorable first taste of the waves with a kids surfing lesson on Waikiki Beach. Designed for children ages 4 to 12, this two-hour experience pairs patient professional instructors with one-on-one coaching to help kids learn at their own pace.
The lesson begins on the beach, where children practice surf techniques and learn how to stand on the board, along with ocean safety and surf etiquette. Then they head into the water for more than an hour of open-ocean instruction. Kids can also try a tandem surf, holding hands with the instructor as they work together to stand up. Surfboards, leashes, rash guards, and reef shoes are provided, with wetsuits available as an option. Each young surfer leaves with a Surfer Girl Academy sticker, and picture and video downloads are available for an additional cost.
Make room in your Oahu plans for a hands-on Waikiki Beach adventure. Book this kids surfing lesson and let them discover the thrill of catching a wave.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.71 from 62 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 7.9. Top 19% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 19% of tours in Oahu by this score.
