For anyone eager to learn surfing in Maui, the Private 2-hour Surf Lessons with Experienced Coaches stand out as a top choice. Priced at $235 per person, these lessons combine personalized instruction with a lengthy session that maximizes time on the water. The lessons are held at Ukumehame Beach Park, a scenic location on the island, and feature all the necessary gear—including longboards, rash guards, and booties.
