Meeting point

Honoapiilani Highway
HI-30, Lahaina, HI, USA
Departure Point: Mile Marker 19 off Highway 30 (Honopi'ilani Highway), two miles south of Lahaina at a surf spot known to locals as 'Guardrails.' Note: GPS locations do not work with the mile markers on Highway 30 (Honopi'i'ani Hwy), where the beach is located. Directions: From Lahaina/Kaanapali/Kapalua resort areas: Drive two miles south of Lahaina on Highway 30 Honoapiiliani Highway. Look for Puamana Beach Park on the ocean side. The meeting location is called 'Guardrails,' which is located 500 yards past Puamana Beach Park, on the ocean side, exactly across from mile marker 19 off of Highway 30 Honoapiiliani Highway. There is a little gravel parking lot to park. The instructor will be at this location 10 minutes prior to the start time of the surf lesson. Check in 10 minutes early at 'Guardrails' surf spot, Mile Marker 19, Highway 30 (Honopi’ilani Hwy). This should provide enough time to apply sunscreen and let it sink in before getting in the sun and water. The instructor will be in the parking area 10-minutes before the lesson start time. For example, if the lesson starts at 9:20am, the instructor will be there at 9:10am. Dates: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday

Maui private group surfing is awesome!!

CHINTA_W, Aug 2022

This is our first time surf and we all enjoyed the time. Our instructor Anne-Marie is amazing. We all learned the techniques form her and kids were doing great on the wave. This is definitely a great activity we enjoyed the most in Maui.

First time surfing experience was amazing!

We were first time surfers- we had never surfed before. My husband and I took our three girls ages 10, 10, and 8. We were nervous but Jason was very informative, a very good teacher and helped us learn. He was great and very patient with us. We all got up on the board and surfed many waves. We weren’t sure what we were signing ourselves up for, but we couldn’t be happier that we did this experience while in Maui. Such a wonderful life experience! We all had the best time! The kids are hooked now!

Officially surfed in Maui

Kody was fantastic and patient with this old lady and the kids who were naturals! Helped make sure everyone was safe and had a few good waves.

Unforgettable

My kids and husband had the most incredible time with Eric and Izzy. They both we so positive and encouraging. They truly made their experience unforgettable!

Thumbs way, way up if you want to learn to surf

My family has never gone surfing before, but after this experience we are looking forward to surfing whenever we can return to Hawaii. Our instructor was Sharky, and he embodied the truly laidback, Hawaiian attitude to everything. First he had us observe what others were doing, then he had us practice standing up, and then he had us paddle out after that. My daughter and husband picked it up seemingly right away. My daughter didn’t even really get her hair wet, riding to the shore time after time perfectly. Me, on the other hand, wiped out my first time and then was too paralyzed by fear to even try standing up again. But I still enjoyed the experience thoroughly and would do it again, and would highly recommend Sharky and this tour operator to anyone interested in doing what is the most iconically Hawaiian sport.

Highly recommended

All five of us never surfed before and we all were able to get up on our boards and surf the waves multiple times during the lesson. Our instructor, Eric, was great. He gave us a lot of gear tips and he was super patient with us. My daughter was nervous about trying surfing before the lesson but had a blast.

Great first surfing experience

Heather_G, Dec 2021

Awesome first family surfing lesson! Instructor really helps the experience (when yo catch the wave, tips and tricks, etc).

Couldn't have been better!

Kain was amazing! We did a family group and all had a blast! Our 8 and 11 year old loved it! We also brought our 4 year old and our plan was for my wife and i to take turns surfing and watching her on the beach. Kain ended up taking our little one on the front of his board so we could all be out in the water and she also loved it! He even got her to stand up on his board while he caught a wave! I highly recommend this group for lessons!

Great time

Kain was the best!! He was super nice, helpful, and patient! We did a beginning surfing lesson :) My sister even got her own wave without help a few times! Really cool Would 100% do this again

Awesome experience

Mary_N, Aug 2021

We had lessons for 3 teenagers. Kody was very informative and a great teacher. The kids loved this experience and want to go surfing everyday now! They said their instructor was 10 out of 10! Thank you for such a wonderful experience that my kids will remember forever!

Great for families

Marie_F, Aug 2021

Great experience!

Elizabeth_C, Jul 2021

Very good instructor. She handled our three kids, ages 7, 11, and 14 with ease. She kept them safe and made them feel comfortable in the water. All had good success. Will recommend to friends.
