We loved our surf lesson - Kea made us feel right at home on the waves. Staff are down to earth and very personable. We are pretty picky when it comes to authentic customer service and experience and these guys nailed it! So much fun and surfing waves!

Went surfing for the first time with my father-in-law and we had a blast! Steve was our instructor and made us feel real comfortable and confident. If you listen to them and do as they say... You will stand up every time! Definitely worth every penny.

Kea was my instructor. He was nice, knowledgable, and pleasantly personal. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

This was a terrific experience. Being on the down slope of "50 something" this was one of our "bucket list" items. Our instructors, Johnny and Mike B. were extremely helpful and very patient. After a practical lesson on the shore, we hit the surf. It didn't take us long at all to get up on our boards and start paddling.... More

Surf lessons was one of the top things on our list of things to do in Maui, and Royal Hawaiian Surf Academy had the best reviews so we booked a semi-private lesson (just my husband and I) in May at 7:45am. It was even better than we hoped! Talvi was our instructor and he was great! Super laid back but... More

So this was my first time ever surfing and the fact that I was able to get up and do it successfully on the FIRST ATTEMPT speaks loads to the effectiveness of this company, its instructors, and the quality of the instruction you receive. our instructor, Josh, was fantastic. He trained us well on the beach, and when we hit... More

Had a great time surfing with at the Royal Hawaiian Surf academy! Was such a great time. I'm a 24 year old, who has never surfed before, but have snowboarded a lot. It wasn't too slow or too fast of a lesson and they made it an overall awesome experience. I initially thought that the price was a bit steep... More

Many thanks to the staff at Royal Hawaiin Surf Academy in Lahaina, especially Tavner, our most excellent instructor. My husband and I and our two kids (ages 12 and 9) took a 2 hour lesson off the beach right in Lahaina and we all had an awesome morning out surfing! Tavner was especially great with our 9 year old daughter,... More

I knew that if there was one thing that I KNEW my brother (17 years old) and I (23) needed to do on Maui, it was learn to surf. Tavner was a great teacher and he really took the time to prepare us before we hit the water so that we knew all of the right techniques and basic form... More
