WHAT THE PRIVATE & SEMI-PRIVATE SURF LESSON INVOLVES
The same two-hour lesson Royal Hawaiian run for groups, but closed to your own party. Either one-to-one, or as an exclusive private group of two to four sharing a dedicated instructor. Both formats mean the guide is never split across separate bookings.
HOW IT RUNS
Board, long-sleeve UV rash guard and reef shoes are supplied. Because the instructor’s attention is not divided, the coaching moves from general instruction to hands-on correction, which is what most people are actually paying for. Children aged nine and under are required to take the one-to-one format.
PRICING
Private one-to-one $250 · exclusive private group of 2 to 4, $150 per person. Both formats run two hours. Verified against FareHarbor, August 2026. Confirm current rates at booking.
