Loved visiting we wanted to do all three attractions - the pineapple maze, the garden, and the Pineapple Express train but the train had too long of a wait. The maze was fun had trouble finding our way around some time, the garden was pretty but if I had to go again I would skip it. Very sad we didn’t get to do the train hopefully next time. Gift shop was great took temperature before entering, lots of options (I love pineapple anything) we got the dole whip and definitely recommend!

Such a fun place to visit with family. The train and the maze were great. Employees are very friendly. You have to get some food and dole whip from the plantation grille, so yummy!

A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. Great for the whole family. AMAZING PINEAPPLE ICE CREAM ️. Staff are very polite. A must see experience when you come to Oahu.

Always the best non-dairy pine apple ice cream. Been here a few times and always enjoy it. If you have a kids that are love trains, gotta check it place out.

Not bad its a nice area Just not as much there is I had hoped. I didnt get to do the maze this time too much rain. The last time I went though it was a lot of fun. Some nice souvenirs and clothes in the store and some good food in the snack bar.

Quick morning visit to the Dole plantation. Very clean and not crazy busy in the AM. Both kids loved the train and maze which was the reason for coming. Got busy for lunch as we left

If you dont stop for anything else stop for the freshly cut pineapple. My parents said it was the best, I initially called BS thinking you can get a good tasting pineapple just about anywhere. They werent lying, its just different, in a good way.

Such a delightful tourist trap. The food is a reason to drop by, dole whip and yummy chicken. The souvenirs shopping is air conditioned as fun. The train was okay but not great. The gardens are beautiful! Enjoy a quick stop!

Place is a tourist focused location but it was very enjoyable. Get the dole whip! When I was there they had a deal on waffle comes, buy 2 get 2 free, so I gave my free ones to a stranger.

The place gives you an overview on the the process of growing pineapple. You can see how the difference kind of pineapples look when they planted. Also you can find the pineapple produce which is awesome. Try fresh squeezed pineapple juice it tastes like nectar for Gods)

We had a blast here. The pineapple ice cream is amazing. It was worth the trip just to sit and eat the icecream.. Huge gift shop, and the only place I know where you can shop fresh Hawaiian pineapples to your home. A+

If you LOVE pineapple then you gotta stop here. In my opinion, the prices are extremely high. Fortunately, the ice cream is good and fairly priced. Can become overpowering when topped with pineapple though.

They have the best pineapple ice cream and many other treats that also include pineapple. You can easily spend a day there.They offer a train plantation tour but they also have many little stands outside the main store where you can buy souvenirs. Ohh dont forget to enjoy watching the geckos and the chickens.

Maze is kinda cute if you use the phone app and go early when its not to hot. The whipped pineapple is good to snack on as you wondered the maze. Store has some nice wood souvenirs towards the back. Small kids seemed to like the train ride and just a nice morning activity before the beach. Not much to eat for lunch here. Wouldnt plan on it as a meal stop. If your little girls like to pick an oyster to get a pearl, they have alot of those here. The price to have it affixed to anything is extremely over priced, this maybe a disappointment to your little girl. Easier to buy a bracelet with thier name in Hawaiian and a plush pineapple doll then call it a day.

Terrible COVID systems in place. You have to wait in a long line and get your temperature taken just to use the restroom. No more kids meals. What are the kids supposed to eat? All the exits are locked. Jeopardize fire safety for COVID? Come on, how does that make sense!?!?

TRY THE WHIP ITS THE BOMB! The Dole store is amazing and has lots of things to buy. The Dole whip is worth the trip- it is surprisingly fresh and has a piece of pineapple in the dessert. There were more people than I would have liked at this location so that was a negative. The people working were friendly and nice it was worth the drive as it has a ton of things to see and learn about. The food was good and fresh and there was seating to enjoy the time inside and outside. We didnt take the train as it was raining but that looked like fun. Great place to visit.

What a wonderful experience! I love learning about the way pineapples are grown. The train tour is definitely worth it. Make sure to try the pineapple smoothie, you get a cool souvenir.

We had loads of fun here walking the grounds and of course souvenir shopping and having lunch. You must try the pineapple ice cream. Doris also picked her oyster to find her them open it and reveal her authentic pearl she then had them mount it for her. A special treat. We didnt take the train ride, just didnt appeal to us.

A nice place to go and visit and have pineapple soft serve. They have a maze and a train ride to explore the pineapple plantation. They have a garden with different varieties of pineapples from all over growing and it’s cool to see it up close. They also have cocoa plants on the plantation and Hawaii is the only place in the US that grows it’s own cocoa beans. They even had coffee bean plants too which is cool. They also have a pond where you can feed koi with fish pellets. The gift shop has a lot of items from local places and you can even buy pineapples to take home or mail home.

Not what I was expecting when I originally arrived. I thought it was going to be a guided walking tour full of information, I was sorely disappointed. Would have liked if they had areas to taste pineapples versus only a food court.The train tour is definitely a must see. Even though there is a long wait for the train depending on what time you go it was enriching to hear all the information about the history of Some Pineapples and how it came into fruition. Definitely a man to research if youre in the food business realm. How he started and scaled up some pineapples should definitely be in the history books.

When visiting Hawaii, island of Oahu, the Dole plantation is a must do! This dole whip was one of the Best things I had in my life. My husband said it reminded him of the pineapple know later candy from childhood. And the actual pineapples...my mouth is watering just thinking about how sweet every bite was. Worth the lines, which were fast moving.You can relax in the garden or take a train ride and hear about the interesting history.

Such a neat experience. Staff is really friendly. Free samples around the stores, you just have to ask! Unfortunately we didn’t take the chance to ride a train but we spent the better part of an hour at the plantation. I recommend trying the pineapple ice cream, it was delicious! Would definitely recommend visiting if You’re around the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Dole Plantation. It was cool to see the pineapples growing in the field, along with other produce. We chose the train and garden package. I highly recommend the train. There was audio that played during the ride that explains the history and what youre seeing around you as you ride. The garden tour (self-guided walk) wasnt a standout, but perhaps it was because it was winter when we went. A few beautiful flowers, though! Also, make sure to get the Dole Whip! It is delicious - especially with the pineapple topping. The two of us shared one and it was the perfect amount. Theres also a pineapple cutting demo that Id cool to watch and solves the common question of how to effectively cut a pineapple.Ultimately a great place to go and highly recommend allowing a few hours for it.

Yes it’s a bit touristy and yes it’s a bit kitsch, but it’s fun and it must be done. Huge merchandise shop with everything about pineapples. The train tour is a great fun way to learn about Pineapples and about the Dole history. And the Dole whip is excellent- you definitely need to try some.

If you love pineapple the way I do, this is a must on your to do list. Lots of interesting info, beautiful flowers in the garden. The maze was fun and the staff was great! Oh, and I cant say enough good things about the Dole whip. So good I went back the next day!

Great place to take the kids. If you want to rain the train....prepare to wait in line. Theres also that cool maze. Have fun! It is a major tourist spot so prepare for crowds.

10Aug19. Quite the learning experience. Parking can be an issue. Once inside, the gift shop is organized. Prices are reasonable for an attraction like this. Their grille prices are comparable to other eateries. I ordered the teriyaki chicken with rice and salad. The large pineapple juice was refreshing. That meal was delicious. The Pineapple Express was was quite interesting and informative. The maze became quite time consuming after the first two points. I ordered the ice cream with pineapple topping. What a way to end the day. All in all, its worth the tour.

This place was just ok. We bought a ticket for train + pineapple maze, only to realize it was way too hot to complete the maze. Train ride was worth it and if you have to choose one thing to purchase, I suggest this one so you can see different parts of the plantation. Grounds are clean and well-kept and the staff are nice.Pineapple whipped with toppings is a must-try!

Very cool place to visit with the train, mace, gift shop, and food. I did not do any of the tours bit it sounded like people liked them. You have to try the frozen pineapple whip. Its like ice cream that is made from pineapple not milk, it is very good. This is a very good touristy place.

This was a fun train ride tour of the plantation. We also tried the restaurant. Loved the pineapple freeze! The plantation store is fabulous too. We bought several types of dried fruits and candies. Id recommend the stop... well worth the time and money.

Beautiful place to visit! Food is great! Specially the Dole!!

It’s not an all day adventure but is fun and educational. I would definitely take the train ride it’s really the ONLY way to see the whole grounds. It’s about 20 min and worth the wait. So get inline and get your tickets first thing! . I would go again and make a half a day out of it while going to north shore to see some waves

Very nice experience. I loved the shop. Vendors really know their stuff. I bought a dress there and won a free pearl but got sucked into buying a ring for it to be placed on. Beware of the Jewelers there. They are great at what they do but I did spend more than I wanted (my fault). Anyway, the file whip ice cream was delicious, the coconuts water was so good too. Nice place to roam around.

Tourist trap. Parking is tough before noon. Train ride, maze, garden - all of which you must pay to see. Restaurant on site. Lots of food and gift items for sale. Be prepared to easily spend $100 for a family of 4 to see it all.

Everything here was so cute, neat and yummy. The merchandises incredibly adorable. So was the garden. Thoroughly enjoyed the aloha express (train) which took us around the vast plantation grounds with a lot of information about the origin of the company (although ) had a lot of marketing jargons, still acceptable) and fascinating tidbits about the fruits grown on the plantation. Yes, not just pineapples!

If you’re renting a car while vacationing in Oahu, it is WORTH the drive alone just to eat their pineapple soft serve ice cream (get the one with pineapple chunks)!Admission is free to get in; however, there’s additional fees for every other activity if you choose to do them (check their website for current prices). There’s a maze, a self-guided garden tour, and the Pineapple Express train tour. We opted not to do the garden tour or the maze (especially in >30C heat). The 20-minute train ride was $11 and was fully narrated the entire time, educating guests about the history of Dole and the growth & harvesting process of their pineapples and other produce.Back to the ice cream! It was about $7 for a cup. But the portion was huge! They also have reasonably priced hot foods in their cafeteria, but we didn’t have any. We were all about the soft serve.Of course, there’s a giant gift shop. Like any other tourist trap, it was a bit pricey.Once again — go for the pineapple soft serve!

This place is amazing. It is a reasonable price but you get so much more. The staff are friendly and helpful. The ice cream is amazing and it tastes so fresh. It is even served in a pineapple. I recommend to try one while you are here. There is so much to do like ride the guided train tour, the maze, the plants tour and more. I recommend this place 100%

The Dole Plantation is geared more toward children. I went there with some friends and their 3 year old daughter. I enjoyed the products and cookies they had to sell, including fresh pineapple which was amazing! We took the train around the plantation which was...okay. There is a maze you can walk through, we did not do that. I would recommend just stopping by the store and seeing the grounds, maybe take a train ride if you have a small child.

OMG, the pineapple here is different,Must try the pineapple ice cream

Good place) I like it

Nice stop on our way to the North Shore. Great little plantation, can get VERY busy. There is a maze and train as the main activities, but also a gift shop that sells souvenirs and pineapple products. There is a restaurant on site - you must try the fresh pineapple, to die for... and the pineapple soft-serve ice cream... YUMMY!

Nice and interesting place. We took a train tour $12 like it. It is took 20 minutes and we saw all plantation with pineapple, chocolate, cocoa, avocados, bananas. Interesting to see actual tree and bunch where all of this products grow. We bought an ice cream. super delicious $7. The atmosphere nice. The garden is beautiful there. Parking lot pretty big, but a lot of visitors also there. Need some time to find a spot.

It is a very well thought out attraction for sure. Little bit more commercial than most at Hawaii but it doesnt take away from the experience. The train ride and the garden tour is great, in my opinion you can skip the maze portion especially if you are short on timeDefinitely try the pineapple ice cream, its a huge portion so dont order too much at once. There is also a pineapple cutting demonstration every hour if you are interested in that

Was there as part of a bus tour. It was super busy. The botanical displays were very interesting. The Dole Pineapple soft serve ice cream with pineapple spears was by far the best dessert I had in a long while. Novelty train and maze looked interesting. Definitely a worthwhile stop.

My suggestion is come here to buy some pineapple whip and eat it over by the cute baby pineapple plants. Skip the over priced attractions. Maybe go and watch the pineapple or cacao demonstrations (for free) and call it good. We were glad we came to satisfy the curiosity, though its kind of a one and done sort of place. We enjoyed the pineapple whip, although it is kind of pricey. There are no kid sizes, so plan to share, or eat your kids uneaten portion too ($5.95 for plain and $6.95 for topped with pineapple). The train ride is okay, but Ive Been on $3 train rides (not $12 like here) that are just as fulfilling, however I guess I did like learning about pineapples and the plantation a bit on this train ride.

Sooooooo many souvenirs and alot of food to buy. That isnt even including the maze. Great touristy thing to do. Its a Must-do on your first visit to Oahu.

A great place to learn about Hawaii’s plantation history. The train ride is about thirty minutes and is very educational, and you’ll see real tropical plants you wouldn’t see anywhere else. The garden tour is fairly short but there’s a neat pond with wildlife. However, the maze can be tiring and there’s little shade. We gave up fairly quickly, as it’s pretty tedious even with the map. Overall we spent about three hours here. The shop has pretty good Dole Whip and the food is not bad for a tourist trap. Overall, this place is a must on your Oahu visit.

Everytime I come here its exciting. I see new things. The employees are quick to serve people with their great attitude and smiling faces. This has everything pineapple. But its not all pineapple theres a bunch more stuff. They have clothes that are dyed with pineapple, a maze and a train too. Did I mention the food court? Theres a ton of food!

The plantation was beautiful. We took the train tour of the property and were amazed to learn the history of the plantation and everything that is grown on property. The food was delicious and of course, the pineapples were the best weve ever tasted. We all enjoyed the Dole whip and took a case of 6 pineapples home.

This place was a crowded tourist trap! It is a good stop to purchase a snack (if you are okay with medium sized lines) and some souvenirs before hitting the road again. I do not recommend the $11 train ride if you are looking to learn much about Dole or the process. There were some tiny tidbits of facts on the slow train ride but not enough to get a good understanding of all that Dole did for the industry or local economy. The train ride takes you past a representative number of plants produced by Dole, most of which were dying, dead or looked like they were just planted with hardly any fruit. Would have liked more information in pamphlet or on signage about the history of Dole and a highlight of all they have done for the Hawaiian islands. They pose you to take your picture getting on the train and they print out your pictures for purchase at the end of the ride for $15 each. No one purchased a photo off the full train I was on... a total waste and harmful for the environment... they should highly consider offering a video view of a photo instead of printing out thousands of these photos per day. Inside the shop was a mad house but it was organized well so it was easy to navigate to what you wanted to focus on. Could not find any stand or helpful signage on purchasing whole pineapples to go for shipment but found out after asking that any cashier in the store has the ability to place an order.

We didnt know what to expect, and were blown away with the absolute beauty of the garden. The train ride was magnificent. We saw how pineapples are grown as well as many other Hawaiian crops. The food was good and plentiful. Definitely a great way to spend some time in Hawaii.

The food was ok, had the loco moco and pork dishes. The patties in the loco moco were definitely frozen low grade meat. Went on the train, the train itself was very squeeky and needed maintenance for sure. Everything else was good.

We had some time to blow before our flight back. This was a good way to do it. Train ride was good but had an hour and a half to wait for it. Garden tour wasnt my bag. Gift shop and pineapple ice cream was good. Didnt do the maze. Spent a 2.5 hours here and it was good enough.

Kinda a trap. But I can see how kids would love this place.

A good place for a fun 3 hours trip. Wouldn’t recommend getting ticket to garden tour if you’re not interested in plants. Maze and Pineapple Express were fun. Try their pineapple whip cone.

To experience and learn about all things pineapple, visit the Dole Plantation. We were amazed at how many different variety of pineapples there were and got to see them up close in the Pineapple Variety Garden. We had such a great time conquering the worlds largest maze in just 28 minutes! To reward ourselves we had the famous Dole Whip - so refreshing and yummy! To end our visit we had a pleasant wander around the shop to check out all the different pineapple products.

I went with a friend here and did the Garden Tour and the Pineapple Maze. It was a great experience. The gift shop is full of goodies. As it would be expected, the gift shop is pricey but it’s all worth it at the end. Definitely attempt the game for the maze!!

A typical tourist trap, but the experience was interesting. The maze was fun, but the paths could use some TLC. There was a lot of standing water on the paths which forced everyone to skip around from dry place to dry place. The train ride was neat too, but the wait to get onboard took two hours which sucked the fun and thrill of being here right out of us. All and all it still was worth going to. I mean really, when would you every get the chance to hang out on a pineapple farm all day and eat everything pineapple?

Out of the way but worth the drive. The Pineapple ice cream is SOOO GOOOD!!!. Had a great time in the pineapple maze as well, definitely worth the trip!

Had a blast here with the fam, beautiful gardens to walk through and the atmosphere is lively. We took the Pineapple Express train, it was pretty cute and educational. The music was fun. Food from the cafe was enormous and good tasting. (great value for the price!) I definitely suggest splitting one portion for two people if you dont want to waste food.

This is a very very fun place to go with the kids. The Dole Maze the second best part. The Dole dessert was tasty. Loved the Pineapple Express train ride and took lots of good pictures. We had an amazing time. Its a must do trip when you are in Oahu

Fun tours with a good look at history and the process of growing pineapples. We took the train tour, which is about 20 minutes, and which was very informative. The gift shop has a huge selection of pineapple-related items. The garden tour was interesting, but probably not worth the money.

My family and I are huge fans of the Dole whip soft serve at Disneyland. To visit the Dole Plantation was the best experience we had. It was educational, beautiful and lots of delicious goodies to buy.

If youre staying on Oahu you have to get the circle island tour which includes a stop at the Dole pineapple plantation. While youre there you can grab a meal and also an authentic pineapple ice cream dessert. There is a giant gift shop and also you can purchase all sorts of doll pineapple products and snacks. Have fun be a tourist!

I came here with local friends, sort of expecting a dorky tourist trap. And yes, that is exactly what it is, but still totally worth the trip we got Dole Whip desserts, road the train, and bought souvenirs, and got to see the grounds and learned a bit in the process too. You could easily make this a very fast, or a half-day stop if you wanted to. Id come back, and recommend to and visitors looking to get out of town.

Ive gone to this place since I was a kid growing up on Oahu. Now when I visit the island its still a place we like to drop by on our way to or from the north shore. Mostly for the Dole whip! A must have! However, for tourist they have a cool and informational train ride around the plantation, a beautiful garden tour full of native flowers and plants. Its heavenly! Theres even a giant maze you can find your way through. Also great spot to pick up local snacks, treats and souvenirs.

Its a really fun place to bring the kids. Feed the fish its hilarious.

Nice plantation. You can take a train going around this plantation and there will be detailed introduction of all plants, especially the pineapple and the cacao tree.Strong recommendation: waffle bowl of pineapple whip at store, it’s brilliant with Li Hing Powder, which is like plum powder but a little more salty.

Get here early to avoid the lines. It took us about 20 minutes to get on the train ride and 15 more to get Dole Whip. The maze wasnt packed and was more like a scavenger hunt, very fun. You can see how pineapple is cut and try some or buy candy, chocolates or apparel at the gift shop.

It was so cool to see the different kinds of pineapple! Make sure to go to the chocolate tasting and pineapple tasting demonstrations! And order some dole whip! This place is free to go to and fun to walk around! Definitely worth a stop!

Dole Plantation is a very nice place to visit. Big tourist attraction. Fun happy place. You can stop and have lunch or a fresh drink. Walk through a maze or see beautiful landscape. Very nice gifts & souvenirs to buy for all ages.

The Dole plantation is not otherwise thought about unless you are a tourist or have business to take care of of withe Dole. The plantation is historic and beautiful while also extraordinary and large. This being one of the companies historically famous and more profitable and productive properties. It is a very large farm in Oahu. Having been there pre 1989, the plantation was open and usually a private invite was in order I the context of a business investment showing/opportunity as the company was I believe situated in the early 1900’s. The company later had acquired properties in Central and South America as well as the Phillipines I believe. I then visited the Island again In the early 1990’s and now the Dole plantation was open to the public for tourists and family outings. Around that time I was working full time in a company that had a it’s mission of “Servicing the food Industry”; incidentally, at that time I worked as a shipping/receiving Foreman who was one of a handful of shift members that kept this business and its 6 million plus pounds of products being transported on tractor-trailers weekly. The annexation of Hawaii became an intelligent and integral decision that helped the food industry in that the tariffs that would be due as a result of precious products that would be needed on the mainland. This very well may have crippled this company and the many involved with it; in addition the company also had a footprint in the State of Delaware, which would have changed the dynamics of the company and therefore the careers of many attorneys, bank officials, investment holding companies as well as the large amount of debt securities that were. Issued in the form of of course Credit Cards and other Debt securities and obligations. At some point of course with so much going on there was a need for SEC filings, 10q, 10k you get the idea. To make a long story short, the trip to Hawaii was roughly a 2/3 point on the way to Japan as the Island found it increasingly beneficial to speak with the salesmen and of course the Foremen, what we call in the business and down on the docks the “ shipping and receiving “ guys. During this time and if you ask me these economic dynamics existed and of course still remain; the geo graphic access and availability of this commodity along with governmental pressures such as currency and storage were solved somewhat by a team we sent out; as a result, the particular cuts of meat. most in demand were purchased and stored in lots of approximately 16,000 kilogram or 40,000 pound “racks” usually 7 racks or so at a time. These were stored with us and flash frozen or stored at Newark Refrigeration at a premium for this type of assistance. At least the trip worked well from Dole food and fruit products perspective, a lovely vacation also which is always welcome and enjoyed, the country and people of Japan surely benefited and was not shy in showing their gratitude, Central and South America had beautiful properties and regardless of what is seen on Television or in the movies the beaches and the countries themselves ( especially Panama) are truly blessed and beautiful. A very nice trade off was every holiday season, whether it comes via China then arriving in Japan, without fail 80 to 120,000 pounds of shrimp and likewise 120,000 pound of Lobster tails made its way to let’s just say to the East coast of the United States weekly for the month leading up to the holiday. This for that? Visit the Dole plantation it is well worth the trip, the train ride is nice and just to see the beautiful plantation that has been around for 200 years as a staple in the fruit/food area of kitchen table eating/economics/politics. I will write a separate review on the USS Arizona and its memorial as you stand above viewing this beautiful Navy Vessel that you can view above its grave as a reminder of the United States servic men and women as well as billions in assets that were lost here; more importantly the souls and the trust and openness in what is our 50th state.

This place was AMAZING!!!!! An excellent place for adults and children. The maze is huge. If you are directionally challenged proceed at your own risk. The Pineapple Express will take you on a train through the property. It is about 20 minutes and is a must see. Inside the main building they have many different items and they all have pineapple in them. This is a must see place.

Such a neat experience. Staff is really friendly. Unfortunately we didn’t take the chance to ride a train but we spent the better part of an hour at the plantation. You definitely need to try the pineapple ice cream, it was delicious! Would definitely recommend visiting and include some other north shore destinations (such as the bonzai pipeline).

Great experience. Pineapple Express Train tour ride was informational and great for tired feet.

Pineapple whip was delicious. The plantation was enlightening. They had all kind of pineapple products which was awesome. Highly recommend visiting this place if you are in Oahu

We enjoyed the Dole plantation very much and liked all the cute pineapple items in the gift shop. I finally know how pineapples grow!

We really enjoyed our visit of the Dole Plantation. There is a narrated train tour that seems like a great way to experience the plantation but the price seemed a little steep for us so we just enjoyed walking the beautiful little garden adjacent to the gift shop and grille. On top of being free, it was great opportunity for the kids to see what growing pineapples look like and to learn of their lengthy growth cycle. The duck pond is an added bonus.The shift shop is huge with something for everyone. The food at the grille was pretty good. My wife said her mushroom sandwich was amazing. My fish sandwich was okay and they had grilled cheese for the kids which was served on a Frisbee which acts not only as a souvenir but an enjoyable post-lunch activity. Of course, you cant leave without trying the famous Dole whip.

Loved going to this place. I learned lots about pineapple and had fun in the gift shop! We probably spent an hour here shopping, eating and wondering around. The food and dole whips were awesome. They had your typical tourist gifts but also had some unique items. Ill be stopping back by the next time Im on the island.

Great place to visit with the family and friends plan a half day if you are going to do all 3 parts of the tour the Pineapple Express, the Maze largest in the world and the Garden.

A fun experience while in Hawaii. The train ride (~$11 iirc) was 22 minutes long and you get to catch a glimpse of the plantation while listening to the recorded guide. Has a big store with a lot of unique snacks that you can buy as gifts back to the family and friends.

Great relaxing experience. Had lots of fun, took a lot of pictures, here are just a few took on the OnePlus 6T. Staff was amazing and worked well with my girlfriend, despite her disability, so she can enjoy everything they had to offer! Spent an hour in the maze, a nice breeze and informative train ride, and the beautiful garden to explore! Couldnt have asked for a better experience! The Pineapple icecream was also the best!! Must get!!

Full of fun little shops where you can buy little souvenirs. An informative train ride and walking tour are available at an extra charge.

We paid to do the train and garden tour. It was nice to see, you saw a lot of the garden on the train though. The dole whip cone was delicious and watching the pineapple cutting demonstration was free and fun!

I came to the Dole Plantation to learn about pineapples and get some Dole Whip. The Pineapple Express ride was educational, but was missing the different phases of the agricultural cycle. The store was pretty cool if you love pineapple. The real reason to go is Dole Whip, a tasty treat I can’t find anywhere except Disney theme parks. It’s basically soft serve ice cream with pineapple flavor. It is soooooo good! I would recommend stopping in, checking out the store, and get Dole Whip.

We had a great time checking out the Dole Plantation. It was fun looking around and seeing all the different types of pineapple. They also have a small cafe where you can get fresh pineapple, dole whips (you can even add fresh pineapple topping to them), and an array of other food for lunch as well. Definitely worth stopping by and checking it out.

Always enjoy coming here with our group of friends.

Amazing Dole Plantation. Lots of people. Pineapple juicy is really cheap only $1. Ice cream is also good. Maze is fun.

Great spot to come before a north shore trip to get pineapple soft serve/floats and explore what they have to offer.

Basically a huge gift shop surrounded by a few interesting bits and pieces. The pineapple ice cream was delicious though. The garden maze was also fun, but try not to take the shortcuts. You’ll get a map so go have fun finding those checkpoints!

It was my first time there and we did the train, garden and hit the store (we didnt do the maze). I think the best part was the store where you can get the Dole soft serve and many other pineapple items. I recommend the soft serve with the cut up pineapple and pineapple gummy bears. I would want to go back just for that as the train ride and garden (small) are overpriced. For 3 adults and a toddler (he was free) it was like $50 buck. Better of spending that on some food. Parking is free.

Dole plantation was a great quick stop on the way to the north shore from Honolulu! It doesnt cost anything to get in, but all the activities have a fee. We only did the 20 minute pineapple express train ride which was entertaining. Definitely a must stop at least one time. Pineapple whip ice cream is delicious, bathrooms were clean, staff were very friendly.

Good to experience and enjoy the pineapple garden. Small area, price a bit higher side but since it is in Hawaii so that reasonable. Take the train ride (pineapple express). Don’t forget to try pineapple split.

Great place I recommend stopping by at least once.

Interesting place, cool tours but a bit pricey. Lots to buy there and you can learn about local agriculture on top of just what Dole plantation does. Very crowded and almost like a theme park. A little silly, but still neat. The pineapple ice cream is worth splitting with a friend or loved one. The chocolate is pretty good too .

We had a great time at the plantation. Its a pineapple lovers dream come true! The train tour was fun and very informative. I highly recommend visiting!

Tourist trap. Dole whip is famous, of course, but the rest of it - the train ride, pineapple maze, etc - is just a crowded mess. Its the sort of place that a tacky cruise ship dumps a few hundred passengers for half a day.

Great place to learn about pineapples in their stages. Alot of tourists visit this place. Peaking is available but good luck finding one if youre stopping by because its always packed. Havent gone through the maze. There is a train ride. Little shops in the building inside and outside. The stores open from 0930 to 1730. Great place!

We had such a great time. The best part was the pineapple ice cream. Its INCREDIBLE and were dying to go back.The maze was fun and kids had a great time. The only thing I would suggest is sunscreen because youre out, under the sun for hours and hours. One of the key highlights of our trip

This place has everything pineapple that you can think of. If you are a pineapple enthusiast then this is the place for you. There is a pineapple maze as well as train rides at the plantation. Beware it gets BUSY and packed. Lines get long so get there early. The pineapple treats at the on-site foodcourt had nice options to choose from. There is also tons of pineapple memorabilia to purchase. A fun place for the entire family.
