Pineapple Express

On the way home from the North Shore, Jeff and I went to the Dole pineapple plantation. Earlier this week, we drove past and asked what people do when visiting the Dole plantation. The security man at the gate told us there is a giant pineapple maze.

Today, we navigated through the pineapple maze. It's a giant hedge maze with a pineapple shape in the middle. Throughout the maze, visitors are encouraged to locate stations listed on a map where they can mark their progress and learn facts.

After conquering the maze, we passed through the ubiquitous gift shop. It was out of control how expensive everything was in that shop. I know everything is pricier in Hawaii, but this shop was at a whole new level- especially when you consider the cost of the actual fruit and the shop's proximity to the pineapple fields.
