  A beautiful beach not so popular I would call it Wild compared to the beaches of Hawaii. Beautiful with turtles swimming near the beach, I recommend to see it we got there from waikiki, with buses you make the day ticket. In 2 hours you get there, convenient and inexpensive. To see, really beautiful

  Fun tourist attraction for the kids and an interesting tour for the adults. We enjoyed learning about the history of the pineapple industry.

• Lines for everything. Waste of time.

  If you just want a Dole T shirt, go ahead and stop. There are LINES for everything!! Waited 2.5 hours for a 20 minute train ride. They hide the true line so you don’t know what you are in for. Wasted half a day at this place! Don’t go.

• Long ride to the dole plantation

  Very good time. Bought several souvenirs. But never took the tour or train ride. Made it on our last day in Honolulu. Used the transit system. From Waikiki. Easy to get there. But it is time-consuming

• Just OK

  This was a stop we could have skipped and definitely spent too much time here. The maze was run down and over-hyped. The train ride was also showing signs of wear and tear, but appreciated the information. Not worth waiting an hour for. If you are going to stop, get the Dole Whip with fresh pineapple. That was the best part of the experience! The gift shop is large and has a variety of cool things as well.

• Pineapple Express Stop

  A little out of the way for a visit to Dole alone but if you can incorporate a stop into your trip then it might be worth the 30-45 minute stop. We quickly found a parking spot and walked the yard and gift shop and were good with just that. There is a train ride that’ll take riders through the plantation, a garden and maze. We didn’t opt for any of those. Pretty cool piece of Americana so drop in, grab a sample and take a look around.

• Really lovely place

  Loved it here everything pineapple even down to a pineapple maze, the staff are lovely! The line for the Dole cool whip was incredibly long but it went pretty fast so not too long o a wait. Definitely come here when you are in Hawaii.

  Very impressed by this venue. So much to see not enough time. Shopping is great. Food many choices. Lots of pineapple. But be prepared for long; long; long lines.

  

  

• Interesting but lots of crowds

  This was a bit disappointing but may have been due to timing. It seems like everything in Hawaii is extra busy right now due to pent up demand and/or spring break. Although lots of displays about the history of pineapples in Hawaii we didn't stay around too long. Due to crowds from buses there wasn't much for us to do - didn't want to wait over an hour for a 20 minute train tour and other things were not of interest. I guess for kids it would be ok to stop.

• Stop if you are in the Area

  This is kind of a neat tourist opportunity to view the plantation and learn the history. Let me just say, if you are going to go, go early. It gets crowded very quickly in the afternoon Unfortunately, they were only running one train, so the line was really long and took quite a chunk out of the short time we were there. Also, the food was very good at the on-site cafe, but the process of ordering and getting your food takes a while and I have to say, some of the staff were quite rude. The store was great and had all kinds of unique souvenirs. Certainly a good way to spend a few hours.
