I am 40+ and decided it is time to learn to surf so, I made my husband go too. :) It was the best activity I have EVER done on a vacation. I am serious. I love river rafting but surfing (even if I'm not great at it) is the best fun ever!!! I felt totally safe especially because if... More

30 minutes of instruction in the surf school with an ariel photo of the surf area. They also had some boards to practice paddling & stance on. Then an hour in the water. We paid for a 90 min group lesson and which ended up being 2 people per instructor. They were great with my daughter and by the end,... More

These are by far the best instructors in hawaii. The owner will have you laughing so hard while teaching surf safety. The instructors really take their time to teach everyone. My daughter had never surfed in her life and was up on the board by her second run. She absolutely loved it, it was a memory she will forever cherish.... More

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors is the best group on the water. They start in the office with an orientation and safety overview. They equip you with the right gear and they watch over you in the water to teach you right and, to ensure your safety. I can't say enough!

HLSI is a family owned and operated business that offers absolutely incredible service provided by passionate and friendly staff. My two daughters and I purchased 1.5 hour private lessons and enjoyed every minute! The instructors shared their passion for Hawaii surfing and went to great lengths to ensure we were having as much fun as possible via big smiles, lots... More

The staff and instructors were very helpful and nice, and they worked hard to make it a fun and successful surf lesson. Gear was provided. The instruction was great and I spent almost 2 hours out of the 2 1/2 hour lesson riding the waves. Originally the lesson was for two, but one person couldn't go due to an injury.... More

Great service, friendly, and experienced! Our 5 year old had such a great time with his instructor Jacob that we signed him up to do it again a couple days later. Our son can be shy and timid, Jacob was very patient and encouraging to ease him in and now he can't get enough! I highly recommend HLSI especially for... More

All instructors VERY patient! Nice and safe place to learn to surf. Located right next to a GR8 snorkel spot.

I took my 10 yo son for a private lesson and booked myself for a group lesson. I ended up getting my own one-on-one instructor (Jacob) too sice we lucked out with the numbers. Bottom line: my son loved it, was up on almost the first wave and became addicted to surfing. Jacob was patient with my lumbering attempts to... More
