Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My nine year old son and I had a blast this morning at Sandy Bay with Tutukaka Surf. Booking with Sophie was friendly and easy and our teachers Christian and Nudge were encouraging, perceptive, hilarious and gave a great lesson. As a Mum, I particularly appreciated the safety portion.
I encourage other Mums who may think they’re past it, to give it a go with their children, you’re in great hands with this team!

This was an easy and fun event. We set it up the day before for three prospective surfers, a ten year old and two parents, all with zero surfing experience The beach location was great, the instruction excellent, and the two instructors double as lifeguard in the surf while you try to figure out how to stand on a moving board - which all three of us manages on our first lesson. Highly recommended; will repeat next time we end up in Tutukaka. Wet suits provided at the beach ( we have our own).

We booked our kids for a group lesson. They loved it so much we put them in for the full week school holiday programme. They were standing up and riding waves very quickly and learnt a lot about water safety and etiquette. Highly recommended.

Had my first ever surfing experience with Simon at Sandy Bay. What a great way to spend a couple of hours. Can't wait to get back there and have another go. Absolutely loved it, Simon is very knowledgeable, patient, enthusiastic and encouraging.

Had a great time with personalised attention, no pressure and plenty of time in the water. Nora was friendly, cheerful, knowledgeable and professional. We both got up within the first couple of tries and caught plenty of waves.

Our kids had a fab time learning to surf! I booked the night before and the lady was so accommodating at such short notice. The lesson was busy but extremely safe with instructors setting the outer perimeter and constantly engaging with the kids. The games on the beach were a nice bonus too. All 3 of our kids (aged 8, 10 and 13) got up on their first ever lesson which has now stoked a keen desire to keep surfing. Thanks Tutukaka surf co., from a pair of non-surfing parents, we couldn’t have done it without you!

So glad we found Tutukaka surf. We were looking to do a family lesson in the off season (August) and this was the group. We'd never surfed before and Simon was wonderful. Highly recommend. We're considering moving to the area and will definitely be back of we do.

These guys are awesome. I've been taking my eleven year old and his friends to Tutukaka Surf for the past six months, mainly in the holidays. The kids have a ball. The lessons are fantastic. No worries about safety. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys. Hiring the gear is included and you can rely on them to make sure the kids get the right size board.
I booked an extra lesson today, Sunday, as a treat for my son. He went with two friends. They were the only ones there today and the young man who taught them was awesome. It didn't matter that it was raining. He was happy to chat. Laid back, easy going and the kids loved it.
Well done you guys. We'll be back for more.
