About
Muriwai Surf School is located only 35mins drive from Aucklands central city. Our surf shed is only a one minute walk from the beach. We are located in a regional park which has fantastic walks with great coastal views. The beach is a black sand beach and 45km long. Aucklands West Coast (Tasman Sea) gets plenty of swell which makes it a perfect place for surfers and non surfers looking to escape the hussle and bussle of the city for a few hours (or in my case life). From the surf shed we offer surf lessons, surf coaching, surfboard & wetsuit hire, adventure hire, blokart hire. We are a Kiwi owned and operated family business who pride ourselves on our old school friendly service.

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.

This is an absolutely lovely surf school at the most beautiful beach you can imagine. I took an introduction course and actually managed to catch waves 😊! Sam was a super instructor and it was such a blast!
I took the bus out to Waimaku school and from there the lovely business owner Bridget picked me up to take me the last km to Muriwai. Taking the bus out is farely simple and I had lots of help using Apple Maps for planning the journey.

Thank you Muriwai surf School and staff for a super experience! I will definitely be back when returning to NZ 🇳🇿!

I booked the 3 x intermediate one-on-one private lesson package with Muriwai Surf School and it was great. My confidence in the surf has improved heaps and I have learnt some new techniques to ride the wave better. The instructors were great and very professional. Definitely recommend if you’re wanting to take your surfing to the next level.

As first time surfers, It is very friendly environment for me and our 10 years old son. Nice and clear instructions and helpful instructor while surfing. Very private beach at this time around helps us to have more space to surf without disturbing. Would definitely like to be back for surf again.

My son had a fabulous time for his first surfing lesson! The instructors were knowledgeable and patient and he got to stand and ride several waves! We will definitely go back for more lessons.

The explanation before we even enter the water about security measures, made us my sister and I feel very safe.
Also, great remark for Martin, one of the surf instructors. Funny and always in the good mood. Great lesson!

Really great experience. Good gear, helpful staff and amazing instructors who are determined to get you standing on a wave if at all possible regardless of age or ability. Just enough instruction on the beach to get you going, then more than enough time in the water to practice. My son and I loved it.
