Dole, formerly Hawaiian Pineapple Company, was founded by industrialist James Drummond Dole in 1901. Originally from Massachusetts, Dole, a.k.a Pineapple King moved to Hawaii in 1899 at 22 years young.
Dole Plantation, a popular tourist attraction in Wahiawa, started as a small fruit stand in 1950. In 1989, it expanded into a plantation home-style museum which showcases the life and work of its founder, Mr. Dole.
There are several attractions inside Dole Plantation. Needless to say, different varieties of pineapple and its byproducts abound as soon as you enter the place. Admission is free if you don't plan to take the package tours. Otherwise, pay between $5- $8 (per person) depending on the activities you want to explore.
