We did the Garden tour & Train ride combo $11/ adult. The walking garden tour was okay (the audiotapes were not available that time period). I don't know if it cost to use the audiotape but it may would have explained the flowers in the garden better??? But you can still read the signage too. I really enjoyed the train... More

We did the maze and it was a lot of fun, but it was hot and it took a lonnng time. For only $6 a person, that is not a bad price. We were able to take a lot of fun pictures. I wish I would've gotten a pineapple icecream, they looked delicious.

This was OK for first time visit and would come back for the Dole Whip but would not do train or gardens again. Gardens nice but small, train ride interesting but is a do it once. Not good value for $11 combo price. Train and garden is an hours worth of entertainment.

I enjoyed the pineapple plantation. Very informative. If you go you have to try the pineapple ice cream. It is wonderful. It is mostly a souvenir shop for children. There is a small train that you can ride. It does require you to purchase a ticket but it is interesting. When we went it was raining but we stayed inside... More

The Dole Plantation is a "can't miss" family trip for first time visitors or even repeat visitors. We did the tour for the second time, and it is worth the experience. Be sure to do the garden tour as well.

We were there last week and had missed it the last time we were n Hawaii. We should have kept it at that. The gift shop was expensive but had a huge selection of overpriced merchandise. We headed off to do their 20 minute train ride throught their plantation, expecting to see pineapple fields, but most of the trip was... More

Stopped there on our way back from the North Shore. Loved the Dole whip as its not something you can get too many places. The place was a zoo so busy. Total tourist trap and lots of pushy sales people. The prices for the pineapples and items were expensive. You can find similar products elsewhere for cheaper.

Knowing this was a tourist trap helped set expectations for this visit. The time in the gift shop exceeded the time on the train / gardens. Both audio devices for the garden self-guided tour were practically worthless. The grounds are beautiful and learning the history made the two hour visit okay.

We stopped by the dole plantation during our grand circle tour. It was OK, nothing to really brag about and the prices in their huge store were pretty high. I felt like I was in a museum or zoo but the proceeds don't go to a museum or zoo so I did not see the reason for jacking up the... More
