Pineapple Garden Maze, Hedge maze in United States of America

The Pineapple Garden Maze is a hedge maze in Honolulu County on Oahu, Hawaii, set at about 291 metres above sea level on sloping ground. Its paths run between clipped hedges rather than through open flower beds, and the surrounding land rises toward the Kaʻala ridge about 11 km to the east.

This project traces back to James Dole, who cultivated pineapples in Hawaii during the late 1800s. The garden grew out of his agricultural operations on the islands.

Eight stations scattered through the maze honor different Hawaiian islands and showcase native plants along with notable figures from the region. You discover which flowers and trees grow naturally on each island as you navigate between the stops.

Wear comfortable shoes and allow plenty of time, as the maze involves extended walking through the garden. It helps to arrive early in the day to enjoy less crowded conditions and navigate more freely.

The maze sits at about 291 metres above sea level in Honolulu County, with the Kaʻala summit rising 1,229 metres roughly 11 km to the east. Pearl City lies about 15.5 km to the south-west, and the surrounding land is wooded, with rainfall averaging around 317 mm a year.
