Led by Kalanikupule, the defenders of Oahu were driven back up into the valley where they were trapped above the cliff.

Dole Plantation

Dole Plantation is located in the middle of the last remaining but still extensive pinenapple fields and in an area that is considered as the navel of the island and sacred to the Hawaiian people. All kings had to be born at the nearby Birthing Stones to be considered royal blood and legitimate rulers. The plantation has a country store offering a wide variety of Dole Plantation gifts, local favorites, foods and refreshments including the delicious and world-famous pineapple ice cream, the DoleWhip®.
