For my daughters 16th birthday we did lessons for her and my 10 year old . I was pretty nervous since my 10 year old was definitely the youngest one there . They let me know if she was holding the group back they would bring her back on the beach (which I was okay with ) she stood up and surfed along everyone the entire time ! They both had so much fun and it was the highlight of our trip . Both girls said it was the best thing they did the whole time we were in Hawaii . Their instructor , Tavner , was incredible and would highly recommend ! Also , there is an option to purchase pictures . I did not initially purchase pictures since I brought a camera , but they are pretty far from where I was standing to get a good picture ( I have a old camera ) luckily he ended up taking pictures of my girls and let me purchase at the end , I would recommend this option as you get a lot of pictures for a small price

It was a bit disorganized because there were so many participants as well as other companies in the same vicinity. Most of us enjoyed the opportunity but trying to figure out which guide to go to was a bit confusing because of the numbers of people out there! My son cut his hand pretty good on first trip out so never even went again. A partial discount would have been nice since he really didn’t get to participate. But they didn’t even give us the option. :-( I understand it’s at your own risk but courtesy goes along way in a business!! Especially when I paid for 8 participants. They definitely made their money off of us to refund my son who didn’t get to participate!! Surf guides were super nice and easy to talk to. I would try again but maybe with private lessons or a smaller group. My younger son said the instructor from the same company (but different group) yelled at him for going to wrong instructor. Thought that was a bit unprofessional considering the amount of people out

Our instructor Kealii was very supportive and informative! We took surfing lesson last year with a different company that was not nearly as informative as Royal Hawaiian Surf. I watched all of the instructors help support each student stand before releasing the surfboard. Each student found success standing up on the board and catching a wave! It’s was an amazing experience!!
