More than one million visitors a year come to the Dole Plantation deep into the island of Oahu.

In 1900, James Dole bought a 61-acre site here with the goal of establishing a plantation that would maximize area's potential for producing pineapple.

Dole opened a roadside stand in 1950 which has grown on this site to Hawaii's most visited tourist attraction.  The Plantation is a must-see on the road to the North Shore of Oahu.  Visitors can engage in the "pineapple experience" through a variety of activities including a pineapple garden tour, a train ride through the plantation, and a pineapple garden.
