Dole Plantation Tours

The garden was great!
The garden was great!
Dole Plantation makes a great stop on your drive around the island of Oahu. Located right on Kamehameha Highway, less than 10minutes from Wahiawa, 15 mins from Mililani. Do the maze if you have time. Pass on the Pineapple Express Train Tour unless you have kids. Kids will enjoy running around the maze more. The Dole Whip (ice cream) should not be missed, however pretty pricey. Portions are large, so I would suggest sharing unless you are starved. For family of 4, maze/train/dole whip about $100. You need at least 2 hours unless you just get ice cream. Have lunch in Haleiwa.
The Pineapple Split! With 3 large mounds of dole whip served to you in half a pineapple!
Alright to call in and have a look pretty touristy though. If you need a feed of pineapple just stop at one of the sideroad vendors.

Compared to visiting in 1985, it was a lot different. There is no longer a plant tour and tasting. We didn't walk the gardens or take a train ride, but we did get some Dole Whip, ice-cream like dessert. This pretty much is a tourist stopping point on your way to the Northshore now.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

The problem here was our tour bus arrived at the plantation about 3:45 and at 4:00 Dole staff starts running everyone out to close the store even though signs posted everywhere says closing is at 5:30!

Highly recommend. We went in the later afternoon. It wasn't too crowded. The train ride was fun and the Dole Whip (pineapple soft serve) was delicious!
