Please check-in at Queen Kapiolani Hotel lobby with Hans Hedemann Surf School.

The famous white-sand beach of Waikiki, on the island of Oahu, is one of the most incredible places for surfing, with its warm, clear waters and gentle, rolling waves. Whether you are a first-timer, intermediate or advanced surfer, come and let our talented surf coaches guide you through the ride of your life.&nbsp;

Join a 2-hour surfing lesson, where at&nbsp;the end of your session, you are guaranteed to be on your feet riding those Waikiki waves!&nbsp;Choose between a group lesson, a semi-private lesson or a private lesson to suit your needs.

Part of your lesson consists of&nbsp;on-land technique drills, stretching, and an overview of ocean safety guidelines before jumping into the water. The rest of the time is spent learning the best techniques on the board and&nbsp;feeling the exhilaration of riding the waves all the way to shore. 

If you are after a personalised experience to shorten the learning curve, a private lesson will be&nbsp;the best option for you. If you want a more social experience and are booking with friends and family, a group lesson or a semi-private lesson is perfect for you. The options are detailed below to&nbsp;make sure you get the most out of your experience and the most effective coaching to suit your ability.

<h4>Group Lesson</h4>

As one of our most popular lessons, the group lesson is ideal for first-time surfers. Start with basic water safety principles and a land lesson teaching the best pop-up techniques&nbsp;before going into the ocean. If you don&rsquo;t have a group, we will&nbsp;put one together for you, however, you must book with a minimum of two people.&nbsp;Participants must be 14 years or older for a group lesson.

<h4>Semi-Private Lesson</h4>

The semi-private lesson accommodates up to three students. It&rsquo;s perfect for couples, friends or family members who want to learn surfing together but still get personalised coaching from one instructor. You will be able to catch more waves than in the group lesson, and&nbsp;your instructor will have the ability to adjust&nbsp;to each person&rsquo;s skill level. For this experience,&nbsp;you must book with a minimum of two people.&nbsp;

<h4>Private Lesson</h4>

Private lessons are recommended for children between the ages of 5 and 14, intermediate to advanced surfers who wish to improve their skills, as well as&nbsp;beginners and those who want the extra attention. Your instructor will be able to guide you and tailor your experience to teach you whatever you want to learn - whether it is&nbsp;mastering the bottom turn or learning how to carve the wave.
