About this tour

Take your first steps toward riding a wave on Oahu, where Waikiki’s turquoise water and famous surf make a memorable classroom. This 2-hour Waikiki Beach surfing lesson welcomes all skill levels, with support from lifeguard-certified instructors.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.90 from 487 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 9.6. Top 1% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 1% of tours in Oahu by this score.
