Royal Hawaiian Surf Academy
My advice is to arrive at least 15 minutes early, so you can get settled and chat with the instructors—a little connection goes a long way!
I recommend checking the weather in advance. A sudden change can mess up your surfing plans, and it’s better to be aware before you head out.
I suggest booking your lessons online in advance. It saves time and sometimes you can snag a deal you might miss if you just walk in
Maui Surfer Girls
I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks. The beach can get pricey, and having your own stuff while you're out there makes a big difference. I ended up spending way too much on food!
Goofy Foot Surf School
If you're looking to save money, have a look for package deals on lessons. They usually offer discounts for signing up for multiple sessions at once!
Kaimana Divers
My advice is to pack snacks and water. The dive trips can be longer than you think, and you might get hungry! I wish I had brought more with me.
I recommend asking about group sizes before you go. Smaller groups make for a more personal experience. I ended up in a big crowd and missed some cool sights.
I suggest booking your dive in advance, especially if you want a specific time! I waited too long and ended up with a less convenient slot. Don't make my mistake!
Lahaina Divers
Make sure to check the weather conditions before heading out. We had to cancel our dive last minute due to bad weather, which was a bummer. Better safe than sorry!
I recommend asking the staff for tips on which dives suit your experience level. They really helped me understand what would fit me best, and I had a blast!
I suggest bringing your own snacks. They provide some food onboard, but having your favorites makes the long day more enjoyable and saves you from spending extra on snacks.
HYPR Nalu
I think hitting the waves early, like around 7 AM, is the way to go. Less crowded and the waves are much better, plus you get to enjoy the sunrise!
I suggest booking your surf sessions ahead of time, especially on weekends. I didn't and ended up waiting longer than anticipated just to get a spot.
Hawaii Surf Lessons 101
I suggest booking your lesson in advance online to snag a better price and ensure your spot, especially during peak seasons.
Hans Hedemann Surf School
If you can, bring your own sunscreen. The school offers some, but I found it was low quality and didn’t last long. My advice is to stock up on reef-safe sunscreen beforehand to protect your skin and the ocean!
Book your lesson in advance, especially during peak season. I did last-minute booking and ended up with limited options. The earlier you secure your spot, the better choice of instructors and times you get!
Ty Gurney Surf School
I found the rental prices a bit steep, so if you have your own gear, totally bring it along! It’ll save you some bucks.
I suggest jumping into the water as soon as you can! The longer you wait, the more you’ll be thinking about how cold it is. Just go for it!
Hawaii Surf Guru
I recommend booking your surf lessons a few weeks in advance, especially during peak season—spots fill up fast! I missed out on a prime time because I waited too long.
