Surf Lessons at Mt Maunganui

We were a bit worried that our kids might struggle to catch waves, but the instructors at Mount Maunganui were fantastic with them. The 2-hour lesson was just the right length, and the kids had a blast trying to stand up and ride the waves. The beach itself is very family-friendly, with plenty of parking, toilets, and food options nearby.

One thing to note is that the lessons can be quite crowded, especially during peak season. But the instructors did a great job of managing the groups and making sure everyone got a turn to try and catch some waves.

The minimum age for the surf lessons is 7+, and we think this is about right. Our 9-year-old picked it up quickly, but our 7-year-old struggled a bit. The cost is $95 for adults and $80 for kids, which we think is pretty reasonable for a 2-hour lesson.

Overall, we'd say the surf lessons at Mount Maunganui are great value for money. The instructors are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the beach is a fantastic spot to learn how to surf.

To make the most of your surf lesson, we recommend booking early in the morning or later in the afternoon. The sun can be pretty intense during the middle of the day, and the beach can get quite crowded.

If you're looking to save some money, consider booking a group lesson instead of a private one. You can also look out for discounts and special deals on the surf school's website or social media pages.
