24-Hour Cancellation Policy for All Lessons

Hawaiian Style Surfing semi-private lessons are designed to be a highlight of your time in Hawaiʻi. We realize, however, that unexpected situations can arise and you may need to cancel or move your booking. Our policy aims to be fair to you while also recognizing that once we reserve your spot, we may have to turn away other guests.

Cancellations Made 24+ Hours Before Your Lesson
If you cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled lesson time, no charges will be applied to the card on file and you will receive a full refund.
For example, if your surf lesson is at 9:00 a.m., you have until 8:59 a.m. (Hawaii time) the previous day to cancel and still qualify for a full refund.

Cancellations Made Within 24 Hours / No-Shows
If you cancel less than 24 hours before your lesson, or if you do not arrive for your scheduled session, the full lesson amount (100%) will be charged.
Using the same example, if your lesson is at 9:00 a.m., any cancellation made after 8:59 a.m. (Hawaii time) the day before is considered inside the 24-hour window and is non-refundable.

Rescheduling Within 24 Hours
If you wish to reschedule your lesson within the 24-hour period before your start time, a reschedule fee of US$70 per person will apply, in addition to the original lesson cost already paid.

Swimming Ability Requirement
All participants must be able to swim independently in open ocean conditions without any assistance. Smaller-framed individuals and children must also be capable of managing and controlling their surfboard with minimal help. If, upon arrival, it is determined that a guest cannot safely swim or manage themselves in the ocean, we may need to refuse the lesson for safety reasons. In such cases, the booking will be treated as a same-day cancellation and all payments made will be forfeited.
