Hawaii's Dole Plantation – A Rare Sight of Pineapples After Three Visits

Dole Plantation, a must-visit attraction during a trip to Oahu, Hawaii! I’ve been there three times, but I’ve only seen pineapples growing once. That’s how rare it is to witness pineapples in bloom. It was here that I first learned, "Pineapples grow from the ground, not on trees." 🌱 ⸻ 📍 Address 64-1550 Kamehameha Hwy, Wahiawa, HI 96786 🕒 Hours of Operation Open daily from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM (Closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas) 🚗 Parking Free parking available There’s plenty of parking space, so no need to worry about finding a spot. ⸻ 💡 Visiting Tips • If you want to see pineapples growing, visiting during summer (June to August) increases your chances. • There are various activities like the Pineapple Express Train, Jungle Boat Tour, and the world’s largest maze. • The gift shop offers Dole pineapple-themed products, perfect for souvenirs. • Don’t miss the famous Dole Whip ice cream—it’s a refreshing treat on a hot day! ⸻ Even after three visits, I still want to go back.
