We pride ourselves on teaching both visitors and local residents about Hawaii’s unique agricultural heritage through exciting and memorable experiences. Throughout the year, Dole Plantation also offers educational tours for schools and small groups. It’s a great way for students to learn about the history and future of the crops we grow in our island home—and best of all, it’s fun!

Here’s a few Q&A’s to help you plan your visit:

Q1: Can I make a reservation or purchase tickets in advance?
A1: We do not take reservations, and are currently not offering advance ticket sales. Tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis and may be purchased upon arrival at either the Train or Maze Ticket Booths.

Q2: Your website states you are open, but the Group Tours are closed.
A2: Yes, we are open every day, except for Wednesdays, when we close for deep cleaning. Group Tours are currently not available. However, you may purchase individual Attraction tickets or combo packages.

Q3: I have a group of 25 and would like to be notified or be put on a wait-list should the current pandemic restrictions be lifted.
A3: We currently do not have a wait list. Please check back for updates on Group Tour availability.

Q4: Do I have to pay to shop in the store or buy Dole Whip?
A4: There is no admission fee to enter the Visitor Center. The only admission is for the 3 Attractions (train, maze, garden).

Q5: I have a 1-year old and would like to know if they are able to go on any of the Attractions?
A5: Any child 3 years of age or under is able to go on the Attractions as long as they are accompanied by a paying adult.
