Best instructors and perfect location - 10/10 expérience. The instructors were so nice and helpful. I felt very comfortable and safe. The bay was so calm and the water is shallow so it’s the perfect place to learn. Plus the views were amazing - truly couldn’t have asked for a better day!

Unforgettable! - We had so much fun as first-timers. All four of us learned to stand up on the board. It was an amazing experience! The guide Tiger was super friendly, clear (in instructions), and patient. Highly recommend to any one who has never tried surfing!

Best surf experience - This was the best surf experience I have ever had! Our instructors, Mitchell and Nathan, were helpful, knowledgable, and just good people to hang out with for a couple hours. Would highly recommend and come back next time we're on the island.

Must-try for Families - Learning how to surf with Kohl and Koi at Hawaiian Surfing Adventures was one of the most joy-filled mornings we spent together as a family on the ocean. Thanks to their instruction, patience, and encouragement, all five of us were able to learn how to surf, and some of the kids in our family were even able to give some tricks a try.
