Surfing in Maui

For intermediate and advanced surfers, Maui’s North Shore delivers big waves from mid-November until early February. Beginners will want to head to beaches on the south part of the island or consult a guide on the best location for learning.

Surf lessons are recommended for anyone starting out as a beginner. Waves are known for being powerful here in Maui, depending on the time of year. A guide will be able to take you to an appropriate beach to show you how to be safe, have fun and work toward standing up on your board.

No time is too early to learn to surf! There’s surf lessons for all ages available (with some restrictions), so let us know the ages of the people in your party and we’ll set you up with a suitable instructor.

Lessons and guided surf tours can be arranged for groups of any size, whether it’s one person or ten. So whether you’re traveling alone or with your whole family, let us know and we’ll set you up with instructors that can accomodate your whole party. Pricing ranges from per person to per group depending on the adventure.

Each guiding service sets its own cancellation policy. All policies regarding cancellation, rescheduling and trip insurance will be clearly laid out by your guide prior to booking your adventure. Contact us if you’d like more information on a specific adventure.

Mother Nature can always get in the way of planned outdoor adventuring. If you’re hit with an unexpected curveball — like heavy storms or unrideable swells — your instructor will know the best course of action to take, determining whether it’s safe to move forward with the trip, switch to a different local spot, or reschedule your adventure for a more favorable day. Prior to booking, your guiding service will provide you with all the details you need to know.
