Stumbled on this tour as I was exploring the outskirts of Makawao. Was actually searching for a distillery on the same property, and began a conversation with what turned out to be our tour guide. He talked me into the tour and I'm glad I signed up. Had time to kill, so visited the glass studio on the same property - Makai Glass (magnificent blown glass pieces), and browsed the gift shop. Tours are also offered here for the Haliimaile Distilling Company. On our pineapple tour, we were driven across the road to the pineapple fields. We were taken to a section of new plantings and got to try freshly cut chunks of the famous Maui Gold pineapple in the fields. We learned about the history of the pineapple, how to plant one at home yourself, the different stages of growth and much more. Next we were driven to a section where the plants were at small baby pineapple growth, and then we went to a section of full growth pineapples that were set to be harvested the following week. Our guide took pictures of all the guests individually which were emailed to us for download, and also offered to take pictures using each guest's phone if they wished. While on our tour, it started to lightly rain in the field, and by the time we drove down to the processing center, it was pouring. One of my first big Maui rainfalls. Our tour ended with each person getting a box with two Maui Golds inside to take home. Finally our guide suggested heading across the road to the Hali'Maile General Store for their Pineapple Upside Down cake, which I did, and it was magnificent :)
