About this tour

Trade Waikiki’s busy breaks for a quieter stretch of Oahu coastline and learn to surf with close guidance. This 1.5-hour Oahu surf lesson is designed for beginners and anyone hoping to sharpen their skills, with two students per instructor.

Your instructor also covers essential ocean safety, including navigating waves and respecting the water. Spend about an hour surfing and putting those new techniques to work. Surfboards, leashes, rashguards, and reef shoes are provided, and GoPro cameras help capture the action. Lessons run rain or shine.

With instruction in Japanese, Korean, and English, this Oahu surf lesson offers a welcoming way to build confidence beyond the Waikiki crowds. Come ready to get in the water and give surfing a try.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 7 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 7.5. Top 29% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 29% of tours in Oahu by this score.
