What To Expect

Green World Coffee Farms

We head straight up to the North Shore after pick up in Waikiki and make a stop at Greenworld Coffee Farms which offers a wide array of coffee and tea Samples daily for guests. A great way to refresh and grab a cup of coffee made from the beans of one of the 3000+ Arabica trees on the 7 acres of Greenworld Coffee Farm before heading to the Dole pineapple fields.

Dole Plantation

Now for the first time, visitors can venture into the Dole’s Royal Hawaiian Gold Pineapple farm with one of our local guides to witness skilled field workers planting and harvesting the sweet, iconic DOLE Pineapples. This truly immersive experience will have the guest both on and off the bus, walking with our guide through the fields and pineapple pack house to see the whole process Dole has perfected. This one-of-a-kind Oahu experience will even include guest sampling of Dole’s unique variety of pineapple straight from the fields. Before leaving each guest will receive a complimentaryDole Royal Hawaiian Gold Pineapple to take home.

Old Waialua Sugar Mill

After lunch, guests can navigate The Waialua Sugar Mill, formally known as the Chamberlain Plantation, a sugarcane plantation and historical sugar mill, located in the town of Waialua. It was in operation from 1865 until 1996. Popular stops to visit are the “soap factory” and “surfboard shop” found inside the old mill.

Mokuleia Beach Park

A trip to the North Shore without a stop at the beach is not a trip to the North Shore. Our guide will take the guests to a location where they can witness the beauty of a world renown Hawaiian beach and take photos to send back to family and friends back home. (No Swimming)

North Shore Macadamia Nut Company

Next to Historic Haliewa Town lies a hidden culinary gem, a local Macadamia shop that finds itself tucked away under the comforting shade of an aged Banyan tree. The macadamia nuts here are sourced from the foothills of Oahu’s tallest peak, Mt. Kaala, from an orchid comprising of over 1200 macadamia nut trees on 24 acres. These are the freshest macadamia nuts on the whole island of Oahu, creating a wonderful edible experience as you continue your day trip into the history of Hawaiian agriculture. Other culinary delights located here include authentic North Shore Acai Bowls or tasty Kona coffee samples.

Haleiwa Town Center

Your last stop on the North Shore is a step back in time to one of Oahu’s oldest towns. Originally built as a home for immigrant sugar plantation workers, Haliewa is now a quaint surf town, filled with a variety of boutique shops, surf shops, and shaved ice stops. As time has passed, the state has set up architectural guidelines requiring the design of existing buildings and newly erected buildings to reflect the plantation-style architecture of the early years of Haleiwa’s sugar industry which makes it a refreshing stop away from the bustling streets and tall buildings of Waikiki.

King Kamehameha Statue

Before returning to Waikiki and dropping off the guests, our guide will stop to see the King Kamehameha Statue. A perfect way to tie in some additional Hawaiian history on top of the agricultural lineage that they have just experienced through the day on the North Shore Dole Pineapple Tour.

Jay was the funniest, most engaging tour guide we could have asked for. He kept the group laughing, having a great time, and provided us with tons of knowledge about the north shore. If you decide to book this adventure, I hope you are lucky enough to get Jay as your guide!

I would give this tour one circle but they do have an exclusive agreement with the Dole plantation to go into the pineapple fields and their packing factory, so that is worth one more circle. But that access is hardly worth it. Our driver drove around aimlessly through a vast 5000 acre red dirt field looking for farmworkers to show us how they plant and pick the fruit. I don't know if he was just trying to lengthen the tour or he was truly lost, but we were in the fields for over an hour just driving around looking for workers. When we finally found a few, it took about ten seconds to see how they do their work. We didn't even step off the bus to watch them more closely. We just drove slowly past them and that was it. Then we got to go inside their factory where they wash and pack the pineapples in boxes. Again, just watching workers putting fruit into boxes. That's it. One bonus was the each paying passenger got to take one pineapple home with them for free, already packed in boxes perfectly sized to take onto an airplane. Our bus then left Dole factory while all the fun was across the street at the Dole plantation store. Over there they have a little train with narration of how pineapples are grown, Dole whip, and chocolate making demonstrations. We didn't get to see any of that because that wasn't part of this tour. We were then driven to a food truck for lunch. It served pretty bland expensive food that is NOT included with the tour tickets. The man at the food truck was really happy to see this captive audience buying his overpriced grub. Then there was a soap factory "tour" located inside an old sugar mill which was just a gift shop with hand made soap and no actual tour of a working soap factory. Then it was off to Army Beach on the North Shore. They claim we might see turtles come up on shore. That's not true. The real turtle beach is about five miles down the road on the other side of Haleiwa which we went to see on our own later and the turtles were awesome. Army Beach was just another nice beach in Hawaii that really has nothing special to recommend. I think our driver just wanted to stretch his legs. Then another stop was at a macadamia nut farm. But instead of seeing a farm and macadamia trees, it was just another roadside gift shop where they sold expensive macadamia nuts and other knick knacks. Nothing educational about this stop either. Pretty disappointed with the experience. Even my older kids could see that this was a scam to get tourists to spend money at worthless gift shops. The real Dole plantation experience can be had by driving yourself to the Dole store across the highway from the fields. It's not necessary to spend so much money to watch a few seconds of farm workers toiling under the hot sun or packing fruit into boxes. You can learn almost the same thing at the Dole store plus you'll skip all the time wasted on bad food and expensive gift shops.
