Dole Plantation at a Glance
Take a walk through history, commune with nature and enjoy
great outdoor views. You can do all these and more at the
Dole Pineapple Plantation in central Oahu, a site attracting
close to a million visitors per year. The sprawling complex
gives visitors a peek into the daily grind at the world’s
leading pineapple grower. The
plantation has long played a significant role in Hawaiian
history and livelihood.
Easily one of the most popular attractions of the plantation is the Pineapple
Maze, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the
world’s largest maze. The maze spreads out over
two acres
and features over 14,000 varieties of Hawaiian plants. The
2.46-mile trail is a real puzzle - you’ll have your
share of loops, dead ends and wrong turns. But finish
the maze and you get a coupon worth a 15% discount for any Dole
merchandise.
You can also take part in the Plantation Garden Tour, a
walking tour that takes you to eight attractive
mini-gardens. Each garden showcases a variety of crops
and plants, many of them native to Hawaii. Of course,
you’ll also come across a vast
number of pineapples and can see how they are picked, processed
and packed every day.
Don’t feel like walking? Try the Pineapple Express
- a two-mile ride aboard a miniature train around the
famed Oahu pineapple fields. During the 20-minute ride,
a guide talks about the history of the pineapple
production and agriculture in Hawaii, as well as the
fascinating story of James Dole and how he built his
empire.
