Ride along scenic rails, explore lush landscapes, and dive into the rich history of the Dole Plantation in this captivating train adventure The Dole Plantation on Oahu is one of Hawaii’s most popular visitor attractions, located in central Oahu near the town of Wahiawa, en route to the island’s North Shore. Originally established by James Drummond Dole in 1901, it began as a 64-acre pineapple farm and grew into a significant agricultural operation that shaped Hawaii’s economy and identity. Dole, often referred to as the "Pineapple King," founded the Hawaiian Pineapple Company (now Dole Food Company), turning pineapples into a global symbol of Hawaiian hospitality. What started as a modest fruit stand in 1950 opened to the public in 1989 as “Hawaii’s Pineapple Experience,” drawing over one million visitors annually today. Situated at 64-1550 Kamehameha Highway, the plantation is roughly 22 miles from Waikiki (about a 40-minute drive) and is easily accessible by car or as part of guided tours. It offers a blend of educational and recreational activities celebrating Hawaii’s pineapple heritage. Key attractions include: **Pineapple Express Train Tour**: A 20-minute, two-mile narrated ride through the plantation’s fields, showcasing pineapple cultivation and other crops like bananas and sugarcane, alongside the history of James Dole and Hawaiian agriculture. **Pineapple Garden Maze**: Recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2008 as the world’s largest maze, it spans over three acres with 2.5 miles of paths made from 14,000 native Hawaiian plants, including hibiscus and, of course, pineapples. **Plantation Garden Tour**: A self-guided walk through eight mini-gardens featuring tropical plants, fruits like mango and papaya, and native species, offering insights into Hawaii’s agricultural traditions. The plantation also features a visitor center with a country store selling pineapple-themed souvenirs, local products like Waialua coffee, and fresh pineapples. The Plantation Grille serves island-inspired dishes, with the standout being the famous Dole Whip—a dairy-free, pineapple-flavored soft-serve dessert that’s become a Hawaiian icon. Open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (except Christmas), the site is largely outdoors, making it a family-friendly stop, though it can get crowded during peak seasons like summer and winter holidays. While no longer a major commercial pineapple producer (most Dole pineapples are now grown elsewhere), the plantation preserves its historical legacy and offers a window into Oahu’s agricultural past. It’s a blend of tourist attraction and living museum, set against the scenic backdrop of Oahu’s central valley and surrounding mountain ranges. #OahuAdventures, #DolePlantation, #PineappleExpress, #HawaiiTrainVideo, #TropicalJourney, #OahuTravel, #HawaiiHistory, #PlantationTour, #HawaiiAttractions, #ScenicRide Video Chapters 00:00 EMC Trains Intro 00:10 Dole Pineapple Express Train 27:52 End of Video
