The Dole Plantation

The Dole Plantation encompasses over three acres of tropical gardens, featuring an extensive pineapple maze, train tours through working farmland, and educational exhibits about Hawaiian agriculture and horticulture.

Originally established as a roadside fruit stand in 1950, the plantation officially opened to the public as Hawaii's Pineapple Experience in 1989, transforming from a simple fruit stand into a comprehensive agricultural tourist destination.

The plantation serves as an educational hub celebrating Hawaii's agricultural heritage, showcasing the significance of pineapple cultivation to the state's economy and featuring traditional Hawaiian plants like pikake jasmine.

The facility operates daily from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM with free admission to the visitor center, while paid tickets are required for the train tour, garden tour, and maze activities.

The plantation features the world's largest maze created from tropical foliage, covering over two acres and containing more than 14,000 colorful plants including hibiscus, heliconia, and croton varieties.
