Surfing & Windsurfing in Hawaii

Nothing is more iconic to Hawaii than surfing at Waikiki Beach. This is arguably the place where surfing was born, and the spot where watermen like Duke Kahanamoku helped introduce surfing to the world. The reason why this south facing coast is so perfect for learning to surf, is the fact that the bottom is soft, sandy, and the water is relatively shallow. During this surf lesson in Waikiki, you'll also notice the way the waves have a steady and gentle roll, which makes them far less intimidating than other waves on Oahu. Add in a long, stable board and a professional local instructor, and before you know it you'll be surfing a wave like ancient Hawaiians of old.

Hawaii is one of the world's top surf destinations and Poipu Beach is one of the best places on Kauai to try surfing. On this tour, learn to surf under the guidance of an expert instructor and benefit from a small group size with no more than 8 participants. Master the basics on the beach, then head into the water to practice paddling and standing up, and perhaps even catch your first wave.
