It's both fun for you and fun for the family, with lot's of things to see and do while your there.
You can take a Pineapple Garden Tour, or run around the Pineapple Garden Maze. When you're done, head inside and have lunch right off their tasty grill.
Of course if your not in the mood for lunch, you must add one of their famous DoleWhip's. They are delicious and a great way to cool off on a warm Hawaiian day. (In fact I absolutely love these!)
Need a little more fun, hop onto their Pineapple Express Train Tour. This is a fun short 20 minute tour, they'll take you around a couple of miles of the plantation. Giving you stories and history along the way.
They also have a great gift shop, you can buy a souvenir, send some pineapple home to family or friends. Or buy some creative fun local favorites.
This is one of those places that are fun to visit. You could spend an hour or a few and relax and cool off in their gardens.
If your traveling to the North Shore for the day, it's definitely worth stopping at either on your way there or way back.

Have you taken the Pineapple Express, maybe you should #Traveltuesday http://goo.gl/DZ95Bp @runwybridlplanr #Hawaii #Oahu #Dole
Have you been to the Dole Plantation before?
If you have, what's been your favorite part about it?
If you visit Oahu, is this a place you'd like to visit one day?
I remember going here with my family when we were on a trip to Hawaii when I was a kid. My brother and I both really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI remember driving by the plantation when we were in Hawaii for our honeymoon, but we didn't actually stop. The pineapple fields were definitely beautiful to drive by!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Hawaii!! It looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the Dole Plantation! I made sure to get a Dole Whip, even though we were headed to the North Shore for lunch. I figured get dessert now, then eat lunch.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun place for kids, I went with my niece and nephew when I went and we all had a great time!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many fun things to do in Oahu, I bet you visited lots of other fun stops instead! But I agree with you, the pineapple fields are a pretty sight!
ReplyDeleteWell if you ever want to go, I hope you can plan a trip there one day!
ReplyDeleteThose DoleWhips are great, aren't they!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree in situations like that dessert first, lunch later :)
Ha this sounds like such a neat place! Speaking of pineapples, do you know I just had my first pizza with it on there this past weekend! Oh my I am in love too! Great post Kristy, I do hope to travel to Hawaii one day!
ReplyDeleteThis is one thing I've wanted to do! I have always wanted to visit Hawaii but as you may know we had to cancel our trip last summer due to our ill dog. For some reason the trip doesn't seem that important now. I'm sure i'll get the travel bug back at some point though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been but sounds like a fun thing to do! I want to go to Hawaii again so bad! :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a total blast! I love everything about Pineapple, maybe most of all Hawaii! I've only been to Maui once but never Oahu. I wish Hawaii wasn't so far away.
ReplyDeleteoh I am still talking about how good the pineapple in Hawaii is! I brought a case back with me and I am trying to grow my own. it's not actually working :( Wondering when the sign up is the May giveaway hop?
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Hawaii but it's on my list. I love pineapple.
ReplyDeleteI haven't traveled to Hawaii yet but it sounds like such a wonderful, relaxing place. I would definitely visit the Dole Plantation, too - I heart pineapple so I'm sure I would love everything about the tour, tastings and shop!
ReplyDeleteWhat? You only just had your first Pineapple pizza? That's been my favorite for years, LOL Well hey, better late than never to the Hawaiian pizza party, haha.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to Hawaii too one day! Of course you may have to leave the RV at home for that one, LOL But they do have beach camping too:)
Your dog was far more important than that trip. I'm sure you'll get there one day!!! And when you do, you're going to love it:)
ReplyDeleteIf you make it when you still have your kids (as kids) they'll love it! My nieces and nephews love this place and have to stop here for a DoleWhip each trip there they take:)
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge Pineapple lover too, I like almost anything pineapple. I even like roasted pineapple, LOL
ReplyDeleteOh I love Maui too, so beautiful. The islands are so different, well aside from the fact that they are islands LOL I wish it wasn't so far too, I'd visit far more often, awe in my dreams LOL
Oh isn't it! I used to think fresh pineapple in a grocery store was the best. It wasn't until I had a taste of one picked literally directly off the plant and cut up right then and handed to me I realized OMG so much better!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome you're trying to grow it on your own. I would love to try it, but Northern Utah not the best climate for it, LOL Hope you can get yours to work, that would be awesome!
I'm glad you asked. I've got the May Giveaway hop scheduled to open tomorrow actually. Or technically midnight tonight:) Love to have you join us if it fits your schedule!!!
Me too pineapple is just YUMM!! I hope you do get a chance to visit one day, it's a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteI totally heart pineapple too, I swear I could eat a whole one in one sitting if I wasn't careful, LOL
ReplyDeleteHope you do get a chance to visit Hawaii one day, I think you'd love it. Yes it is relaxing or lots of adventure depending on what you like to do there!
hehehe, I've never been here, but it would be so much fun! :D
