Trent Wilkes2025-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible experience! Kiva and Willy were awesome instructors! Ellie Ingrid Andersen2025-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Signed up for a group lesson with a friend and ended up getting a private lesson! Our instructor Niko was fun and gave clear instructions, and my friend and I had a blast! Hans Hedemann surf school is a great place if you are a beginner or have some experience and we caught so many waves we lost count. Antonia Maili Whyatt2025-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charlie was an excellent private instructor for my son, Markus. Would highly recommend him! John Lopez2025-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great activity, excellent customer service and awesome instructors.

We are so grateful Lonnie Cooper2025-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very organized, friendly and professional! I recommend everyone take try them out for a great experience! Tracy Huang2025-05-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The reviews check out -- waves here are nice so with some basic tips, can get almost everyone surfing with a few tries, which is satisfying and fun. I did a group class the first time around with 8 folks. they have 2-3 people per coach, so it's almost like a semi private class if you don't mind being in classes with other folks. Had so much fun did it again (this time a semi private class) with another visiting friend. This class was shorter than two hours in the end though since coach got us out of the water earlier, only realized this after we got our stuff back in the lockers tho since neither of us had watches on. I guess island time! Class structure basically is intro and safety video in store, then walk to the beach and do some basic moves on shore, then rest of the time in the water. The in store intro and safety video is pretty standard, but really depends on who you get that is running through it (was a huge difference in how it was presented depending on who ran it! I get that they do it constantly but if you get someone who speeds through it in a bored tone ... lol not the best first impression initially) Suggest looking up the tide schedule and avoid low tide if possible, way closer to the reef that way (got a few scrapes but all good). Also fyi there's a 10% discount for hotel guests staying at Queen Kapiolani (the surf school is based in their ground floor lobby). Totally understand it's not possible to fully learn surfing in 2 hours, but if I had the time would want to learn how to watch the waves and catch small ones myself. In class, while the coaches try to tell you oh the wave is coming, they make it easy for beginners (and totally get this helps with the experience) by timing it for you and giving you a push when the waves come so it's easier to ride, but that's hard to replicate outside of class! Almost wish I could sign up for some kind of multiple day surf class/camp option to build on the learnings, but most offerings are single class. Robert Coronel2025-05-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time attempting to surf and they got me to catch a wave at every attempt ! Definitely recommend for anyone on any level new to advanced 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽Google rating score: 4.8 of 5, based on 1054 reviews
