Dole Food Co Hawaii

We were underwhelmed by our visit. While in Hawaii, we decided to visit this spot and bought tickets for their train tour. The train journey took us to the farthest point of their land and back. Although the concept was charming, the train ride featured a taped narration detailing the history of the plantation in its earlier days. It was evident that there were areas in need of cleaning up. The Dole Whip was enjoyable, but it tasted similar to the one near the Honolulu strip, so making the drive all the way to the plantation didn't seem worth it. Overall, I wouldn't particularly recommend this location.

This place was super busy on the day that we stopped by. The parking lot was crazy and inside was even worse. The gift shop / convenience store / bathrooms / food court / kiosks were alll busy! Even the outside was busy!!There are so many trinkets, snacks, souvenirs that one can buy here. The desserts line and dole whip lines were the longest. Everybody wanted some. The outside lines weren't too bad and the train line was empty.I walked around with no help and saw plenty. The Koi pond was beautiful and you can even purchase food for them. This place is a little bit overhyped in my opinion but glad I was bale to check it off my list.The roasted corn was delicious. Souvenirs are a tad bit too pricey but they are cute!

Go get some fresh pineapple soft serve. I'm happy I got to try some pineapple ice cream. Very delicious and generous portions but I wasn't able to finish. Highly recommended.

We got there early enough to skip the lines, which get much longer past 11am. We decided to do the train ride + maze package. We had to wait about an hour for the train. The ride itself was relatively fun and relaxing (My partner fell asleep on it lol). We then went to do the maze, and got like 5 out of 8 items in the maze - make sure you download the app or get the maze record card at the entrance. I personally really enjoyed the maze but I thought the train ride might not have been worth the wait. We also wanted to get Dole whip but the line was way too long. We also saw red pineapples!

If you don't stop by the dole plantation when in Honolulu, I don't know what you're doing. We came here for the infamous dole whip! There are other activities such as the pineapple express, pineapple maze, etc. We stopped by the gift shop and it was a lot bigger than I expected. We spent a good amount of time trying to figure out what to get for souvenirs. There was a line for dole whip. We ordered the dole whip with pineapple chunks & chocolate dipped dole whip. It was sweet and not too sour. The pineapple chunks were very refreshing. The dole whip was very smoooth.

Great place for a weekend trip with the whole family. Came here with my whole family and we had a blast. They have a maze for the kids, a train ride and botanical garden for the adults, and the crown jewel is the dole whip station.Train - make sure you sit in the back so the loud engine noise doesnt bother you.We got the huge dole whip that they serve in half a pineapple. We shared it among 5 people and it was delicious.

What a cool place! A must visit if you are on vacation in the Honolulu area. They have a huge shop with tons of souvenirs and goodies. There is a huge maze that my family enjoyed trying to get lost in. It was broken up in to several segments so no worries if you think your little ones can't do the whole thing. There is also a train ride that gives you a tour of the property and a beautiful garden.

Definitely a place to stop into, so many cute things in the gift shop. Exciting to get a dole whip from the real deal! The tour is fun and educational. Definitely a place to visit when in HI

We stopped here while exploring the north shore. The parts of the plantation that we could see was beautiful, but unfortunately there were fees to do many thIngs including a garden tour, train ride, and the pineapple maze. The highlight for me was the delicious Dole Whipped. This is an enchanting soft serve pineapple sorbet/ice cream. I ordered mine with pineapple on it and my friend opted for the float which was pineapple juice poured over the Dole Whip. It was refreshing and delicious, but a huge sugar rush. The cafe served a variety of foods, but we only opted for dessert. The gift shop was filled with other tasty treats and souvenirs and there were ample public restrooms, so a nice quick stop while on the north shore.

Dole plan tation is a wonderful sidestep to visit into the historical pineapple business! While I wasn't at the planation for long, it was well worth the visit! The first spot you'll enter is the shopping center which consist of a merchandise and edible side. The merchandise is of wide variety and has something for everybody. The edible side has a plethora of snack and treats to include dried fruit, candy and, of course, pineapple!The Dole Whip is just around the corner and this is where all the magic happens! I had a Dole Whip Boat which consisted of a waffle boat cone with crushed pineapple, dole whip, a cherry on top and one additional topping (I chose strawberry drizzle).Dole whip is absolutely amazing! The taste and consistency is something that I have yet to compare to anything! It really brings a new spin onto pineapple that you never really thought of before. Add the crushed farm fresh pineapple and drizzle to have a decadent sweet snack!There are a few other activities that families can partake in such as a maze and train ride, however I elected not to participate due to time constraints.If you have time to visit, please do and make sure you try the Dole Whip!
