Dole Ananas Plantation og Ko Hana destilleri med rum smagning
Beskrivelse
Nyd Oʻahu ud over strandene på en rejse gennem øens naturskønne landskab. Begynd på den legendariske Dole Plantation, hvor du kan vandre i tropiske haver, tage billeder og nyde ikoniske ananasgoder som frisk frugt og Dole Whip. Fortsæt til Kō Hana Distillers for at få et indblik i Hawaiis eneste cane-to-glass rum, fremstillet af arvelige sukkerrør dyrket på stedet. Gæster på 21 år og derover kan smage premium rum eller nyde en håndlavet cocktail, mens yngre gæster og ikke-drikkere kan forkæle sig med Kō Hanas hjemmelavede is. Dagen afsluttes på Coral Crater Adventure Park, hvor du kan slappe af, gennemse butikken og nyde stemningen i en af Oʻahu's førende udendørs eventyrdestinationer. Denne aktivitet blander lokale smagsoplevelser, øhistorie og naturskønne landskaber og giver en forfriskende udsigt over en anden side af Oʻahu.

Sergey was awesome!!! He knows his history of the island and gave us a wonderful tour. We learned so much from him. The dole plantation is beautiful and the dole whip delicious!!! The Rum tasting was fun too! Bought some to go of course! We even got to see a full rainbow on the way back to the hotel!!!
We DID enjoy what we did, but we had less than 30 min at Dole and were not able to do the maze or ride the train. The distillery was cool and the rum was great. We were not given the option of doing the zip-line or anything at Coral Craters, but others in our van were. We had to wait for them for an hour while they played. Our tour guide, Joe was super cool and took us to a few beaches while we waited and we saw loads of sea turtles!! Joe did not know we were not given this option, he was just the driver. We were also told that we would be back by 5:30, but got back at 6:45. We would definitely do it again, but wish we had more time at Dole.
Great tour of the Dole plantation and the rum plant. I really enjoyed hearing the history of both places. Joe was a great tour guide.
Dole Plantation was very disappointing. I felt like I walked into a Cracker Barrel. For the price we paid for this tour we really got no benefit at Dole Plantation. We toured the gardens and had to pay extra, should be included in the tour price. The distillery was great, our guide provided a lot of info on the process and the tasting room was fun. Our guide Serge was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history which we enjoyed.
Mahalo for the honest feedback, Deborah — we're so glad Serge's Hawaiian history and the KoHana tasting made the day fun. We're sorry Dole was a disappointment; it's hugely popular with some guests and feels touristy to others. The garden walk is always included at no charge — our guides walk every group in — and we'd love to show you even more of O'ahu next time you're back!
Our tour was great and we enjoyed Joe very much. We only wish we spent more time at Dole. We may try and go back on our own since we know more about HI now.
Joe will be thrilled to hear it, Jake! And going back to explore on your own because you know the islands better now — that's exactly what we hope a tour sparks. Mahalo for riding with us!
Our tour driver/guide was great! Loved all the little fun facts about the island we learned, especially everything he told us about the Dole Plantation and KōHana Distillery!! Coming to Hawaii for the dole whip is totally worth it. In all seriousness, we absolutely loved our tour. If you’re going to be in Hawaii, you definitely need to check it out!
Flying to Hawaii for a Dole Whip — totally valid, Elizabeth! So glad the island fun facts and the KoHana stories made the day. Mahalo for the wonderful recommendation; we'll have more stories ready next visit.
We had a great time! Our tour guide Serge was very knowledgeable and informative. The dole whip was delicious and loved tasting the different rums!
A mother-daughter day with Serge's stories, a Dole Whip, and a rum tasting — that's a memory worth keeping, Shenise! Mahalo for spending it with us; Serge will be honored to hear it.
Our guide was very informative and super friendly! He was fantastic. A local who knew a lot, and we even asked him things that didnt pertain to the tour and he was able to help clarify.
A local guide who can field the off-the-tour questions too — that's the kind of host we love to send out, Rae! Mahalo for the fantastic review; the islands always have more to share when you're back.
If I could give this zero stars, I would. First, we were called 1 hour prior to our start time and said we had to rush because our pick up time was an hour before the stated start time (which was not noted anywhere on the booking). We were in the middle of lunch and had to leave in a hurry. We were then crammed into a hot and stuffy van for and 1.5 hours to the Dole Plantation, where we were allowed exactly 30 min to tour. The guide knew nothing and rushed us through, not allowing us to ride the train or even go through the shop. We then headed to the Distillery where the guide READ OFF HER PHONE to give us a “tour” of the property. The actual tasting was delightful, but we again were rushed to leave after about 45 min there. We did not get any time at the Coral Crater Adventure Park and just dropped off people for their luau. We then spent another 1.5 hours in the shuttle back to our hotel. The tour was disorganized, rushed, and the guide was not knowledgeable or friendly at all. We spent more time in the actual shuttle than we did on the excursion. When I reached out to get a refund, the company declined and did not even contact me for more information or to make it right. Do not book with this company.
Mahalo for taking the time to share this. We're sorry the day didn't land the way you'd hoped, and we want to address a few points so other travelers have accurate information. Your pickup was scheduled for 1:00 PM as confirmed through Viator at the time of booking. Our vans are late-model Mercedes Sprinters with functioning AC, and we build typical North Shore traffic into our timing — the drive ran about 65 minutes that day instead of the usual 45. To clarify two specifics: the Pineapple Express train is not part of this tour itinerary, and the time at Ko Hana Distillery, including the guided portion and tasting, was the standard hour all guests receive. Our guide did reference her phone to give accurate answers to specific guest questions. We hear that it didn't feel polished, and we'll use this as a coaching note for our team. On the refund conversation: we did try to reach you by phone and left voicemails that weren't returned. Please contact us directly at 808-378-7535 or info@malamatours.com — we'd genuinely like to talk this through.
The rum tasting was fun, even though I didn’t try any. Very interesting! The Dole pineapple plantation was really cool. The only bad part was the time there was WAY too short! At least another 1/2 hour should have been added to give enough time to see everything outside and go through the gift store which was very large. 15 minutes for the gift shop was just not enough!!
Aloha Louis, mahalo for sharing your experience on the tour. The rum tasting is one of those stops that tends to surprise people — glad it stood out even without trying a sip. We heard you on wanting more time at Dole and have since adjusted this tour to depart 30 minutes earlier, giving guests more room to explore. Oʻahu has plenty to discover if your travels bring you back this way. — The Malama Tours Team
