Thanks for the review, Dani. I went to the Dole Plantation as a kid. I don't remember much about it except that my family all thought that the glass of pineapple juice we drank there was so much fresher than the pineapple juice sold in grocery stores on the mainland.

That's a cool memory! I didn't try any of the pineapple juice but from your memory, I bet it is much fresher than grocery store pineapple juice! Thanks for your comment Jeff!

Thanks, I didn't want to put in in a "bad light" but at the same time I felt I needed to say it wasn't great. It's worth visiting the gift shop and free parts, but not paying for any of it. Thanks for you comment

I’m a pineapple lover since a kid. Although you say you don’t recommend, I HAVE to go see where they come from. I have to taste the freshest pineapples.

The pineapples are frozen until needed. They’re no more fresh than what you can get in a grocery store. Wake up and get smart.

Tough crowd it seems! I’m here at the Dole plantation right now and really feel that this review was unnecessarily harsh. This place is beautiful, well staffed, and you can totally walk around the gift shop to get to the train if you desire. Good grief y’all!

This review seems to miss the main point - the whole of Oahu is a tourist trap. Admittedly we visited some 20 years ago (from UK) and found the Dole Plantation to be no worse than the rest of the places. In fact, it's one of the few things that still stays in our memory!

The worst tourist trap in Hawaii. We had to stand in a queue line for 90 minutes to ride the “Pineapple Express”. And the train ride was a joke. Through open fields. The gift shop was full of expensive tourist junk. The cafeteria was overly crowded. People bitched that they stood in 45 minute lines for food. We drove to Hale Iwa and had a much better lunch. The Dole Plantation was the worst experience we had in Hawaii. Stick to selling pineapples.

@worldschoolmanatees my cousin grew 5 pineapples in her house. It took 1 year for them to grow. She also grew it from the top part of the fruit. So I would think that they'd be able to produce a good amount of fruit, and especially with the climate.

If Debbie Downer from SNL went to the Dole Plantation, that’d be a neat show! Would you rather me paint it like a wonderful place as I was expecting, or the expensive reality that it was sadly. I’m not hating on it, just disappointed in it 🤷♀️

If you respect Hawaii at all, DO NOT go here. Sanford Ballard Dole, the founder, is the main guy who overthrew the Hawaiian government and essentially stole Hawaii in 1893. It's not unusual to see satirical bumper stickers that say "Stole", instead of Dole (in the style of the Dole logo).
