Activity Overview
Welcome to the only pineapple tour on Maui! We were hesitant about this tour when we heard some of the time is spent on a shuttle van driving through the pineapple fields but we were wrong. This tour lived up to the hype for Erica and me. The tour guide was phenomenal at keeping us informed and entertained. Sure, we took a shuttle ride out to the fields after a long tour of the pineapple factory, but how else are you going to get to pick and eat ripe pineapples with bi-coastal views?
We learned how pineapples take 18 months to grow, how they replant, and why so many get rejected before they head to the grocery store. As a pineapple lover, this tour has me only eating Maui Gold now.
