Dole Plantation is home of the worlds best pineapples and the home of the worlds largest maze. You can take a tour but we decided to pass it by. Instead of the tour I recomend doing the giant maze. It is listed in the
Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest maze.
The giant maze was started in 1997 and has been on T.V many times. It has 11,400 plants, it is 100,000 square feet and adding all its paths togeter you have 1.7 miles of paths. You ask how do I know so much? Easy, I read it off my son's shirt that he won for coming in second in breaking the record. My son did it in 8 minutes and had his name placed on the board of fastest times. I did it in 23 minutes. The average is about 24 minutes. It is very hard to do you must go around to get 6 stamps from the 6 sections of the maze. Finding them is pure luck. The plants are high so you can not see. If you do this, bring water. The cost is $3 per person.
In the store you can buy pineapples, which we found to be expensive. What was great is the pineapple ice cream. In the Dole store, there is Maui Divers Jewelry store. There I bought my wife a heart pendant that has small lettering inside and when you look at the shadow of the heart, it says ALOHA. You can buy shirts, hats, coffee, mugs, toys -- in fact you can purchase all your souvenirs there.
We enjoyed this very much and highly recommend you do this.
