This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui! Our tour guide, Gabe, was absolutely fantastic. He mentioned it was his first day, but honestly, I find that hard to believe. He was knowledgeable about the entire pineapple-growing process. Not to mention made us laugh We learned so much about how pineapples are planted, grown, and harvested. It was fascinating to hear about the life cycle of a pineapple, the care that goes into growing them, and what makes Maui Gold pineapples so unique and sweet. Of course, the star of the show was the pineapple itself. It was hands down the sweetest, juiciest, and most delicious pineapple I've ever tasted. After trying one, it's hard to go back to grocery store pineapple! The gift shop was also wonderful, with lots of cute souvenirs, gifts, and pineapple-themed items to browse. If you're visiting Maui, I highly recommend adding the Maui Gold Pineapple Tour to your itinerary. read more

I recommend this tour. We booked it at the beginning of our trip in case it needed to be canceled due to weather, which would have given us time to reschedule. Thankfully, the weather cooperated! Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes. There's quite a bit of walking through the fields, and the ground can be uneven and dusty. My socks were covered in dirt afterward, so I definitely wouldn't recommend flip-flops. Small carton boxes of water (like school lunch sized milk cartons) were provided on the tour bus, which was appreciated, but I'd still recommend bringing your own water as well, especially if it's a warm day. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information about pineapple farming. It's so labor intensive!! However, he spoke extremely fast, which made it difficult to follow at times. I wish he had slowed down a bit. During the tour, we sampled pineapples at different stages of ripeness, and at the end each group receives a boxed pineapple package to take home. Since there were two of us, we were given a pre-packaged box for two people. We assumed we'd be getting two pineapples similar to the ones we tasted during the tour, but when we opened the box back at our hotel, we found three very small pineapples instead. The box itself made it look like the fruit would be larger. We learned on the tour that pineapples do not continue ripening after they're harvested, so what you get is what you get in terms of sweetness. We kept 2 for ourselves and gifted the 3rd away. Unfortunately, the 2 we cut open were bland, barely sweet which was disappointing. A grocery store pineapple would've been sweeter I think. Idk if the one we gifted away was sweet or not. I hope it was b/c that'd be embarrassing considering it had the "Maui Gold" tag on the crown. One area that could use improvement is the guide's professionalism. At times, he shared stories about previous guests in a way that felt like he was making fun of questions they had asked. Hubby agreed. It left me wondering whether future tour groups would hear stories about us as well. He also shared a story about jokingly telling a guest or a group that he was gay, and then he was like, just kidding! While it may have been intended as humor, it didn't sit well with me. It felt unnecessary and in poor taste, especially considering there could have been LGBTQ+ guests on our tour. Overall, the tour was informative and enjoyable, and I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about pineapple farming. A slower-paced presentation and a more professional approach from the guide would have made the experience even better. read more

Overall the tour was interesting, and even though I have been to the Dole Plantation, I still learned a lot on this tour that I didn't know. The pineapples were definitely some of the best I have ever had. Very cool you get to take one home (and it did survive the plane ride). I have to agree with some others that it is a little pricey for what it is, but I also understand the challenges of keeping the farm going in today's economic climate. I would say if you feel comfortable about doing a tour for that price, go for it. If not, there are lots of other cool places in that region of Maui too. read more

My girlfriend set up a pineapple farm tour while we were in Maui. We planned to go on our last day on the island so that we could bring fresh pineapples home with us. We had a fantastic tour visiting the processing facility and fields. Tasting various pineapples at different flavor profiles. Learning about the color of the fruit as it relates to the sugar to citric acid balance and how that relates to the flavor of the fruit. After the tour was completed we were each given a pineapple to take home. Once in the gift shop we had the opportunity to purchase additional pineapples as well as various gifts. I highly recommend the Maui pineapple tour. read more

I went on the Maui Gold Pineapple Tour for the first time and was blown away--not just by the incredible pineapples, but by what I learned about the industry behind them. The tour itself was fun, informative, and well-run. You get to walk through the fields, see the process up close, and taste the freshest pineapples you'll ever try. Maui Gold pineapples are on another level--super sweet, clean-tasting, and almost floral. The grounds even smelled like cotton candy. It's truly unlike any subpar pineapple you've had from the mainstream grocery store. But what really stuck with me was the behind-the-scenes reality. We learned how Dole still has a grip on Hawaii's agriculture through laws that prevent future pineapple farming once operations like Maui Gold shut down. That means when Maui Gold is gone, that's it--no more pineapples from Maui. It's heartbreaking and frustrating to hear that this iconic part of Hawaii's heritage is being priced out of existence. Even more concerning is the human side: the workforce is aging, and there's no one to replace them--not because there's no interest, but because young people simply can't afford to live here and work in agriculture. It's a stark reminder of the broader issues Hawaii is facing when it comes to sustainability and protecting local industry. This tour gave me a deep appreciation for what Maui Gold is doing, and a sobering perspective on how fragile it all is. If you're visiting Maui, don't miss this tour. It's not just about tasting incredible fruit--it's about understanding the bigger picture and supporting something truly local while it still exists. If you know anyone with deep pockets please let's increase wages, build comfortable local housing that workers and their families can utilize and let's keep Maui Gold alive and thriving!!! read more

Great tour, very informative and I really appreciate the pineapple even more now! Kennedy was full of knowledge and so passionate about the pineapples and Maui Gold as a company and family. After hearing about all of the hard work and challenges that Maui Gold has faced I just have so much gratitude and respect for this farm. We got 6 pineapples for our family and we have already finished 4 of them. They taste amazing, sweet and fresh and I am even eating the core now that I know all of the benefits that come with it. read more

This tour is a MUST DO! It was a 90 minute tour that explains the process of the pineapple farm, stages of the pineapple and best part... Pineapple tasting !! It was fun and who knew there was so many interesting things about the pineapple. The views of the island from the farm are amazing and the tour guide was full of knowledge. Maui Gold pineapples are not your typical grocery store pineapples, they literally are like gold and so delicious ! After the tour I was gifted a Maui Gold pineapple to take home!! and I perused around the pineapple shop, which had so many cute things for purchase! I will be stopping by the shop to purchase a pineapple to bring home on all of my future visits to Maui. read more

What a fantastic birthday experience! We took the Maui Gold Pineapple Tour and was blown away by the dedication it takes to grow these delicious fruits. From seedling to harvest, it's a long journey filled with meticulous care. I had no idea it takes nearly 18 month to grow a perfect pineapple! Serious stuff! If you're ever in Maui, this tour is a must-do. You will receive one Maui pineapple to take home. We carried on two pineapples in a box back home to Vancouver, BC.

What a fun educational tour. Arrive on time/early because I arrived about 2 minutes early and they called me to inform me the bus will leave exactly 5 minutes after the reservation time. Example our time was 1:45 and the shuttle left promptly at 1:50pm. They start by taking you into the small factory and give everyone a free pineapple to take home (it's already TSA/culturally approved for airplanes). After the guide will take you to the fields where you get to get pictures as well as taste three different types of pineapples, green ones, gold ones, and a mix of gold/green. All were delicious and we learned so much about how to pick pineapples at the super market. A pretty reasonable experience for the $95pp price point. FYI - I found a code online (ABENITY). Worth a try if it still works but it was 15% off which is a nice savings. read more

Excellent tour and great staff. Even kids get a pineapple and love the option to take it whole or cut up. Highly recommend!

This was an amazing experience. Checking in was great. Everyone was so nice, very helpful. The tour was great. Brian was our tour guide. He was awesome. Very professional, knowledgeable, answered questions, took pictures. I learned alot about pineapples, like how to to pick out a good pineapple, how to cut it, how long it lasts. Also an interesting history of the pineapple on Hawaii. The tour came with dinner at the halimaile general store next to the pineapples tour store. The food was delicious. Service was excellent. I definitely recommend this tour. read more

We booked their tour online with the dinner next door at Hali'imaile General Store. They have a regular tour of the farm with no dinner as well. I LOVED this tour & it is definitely worth it. Your start point is at the Maui Gold Store and then you get in a small van to transport you up to and around the farm. You make 3 stops- first one where the pineapples are flowering, second where the pineapples are ready to pick, & third is at the packing factory. I loved seeing the flowering stage- it makes for beautiful photos. Second stop is where you get to try the Maui Gold. Our tour guide was Rudy- he is fantastic, funny, & very knowledgeable. I really enjoyed the education behind the tour of the farm, growing a pineapple & what it takes to get it to your door. There are 4 men over the age of 60 who hand plant the pineapples- that just blew my mind. We also get a pineapple at the end of the tour that is airplane ready. After the tour they bring you back to the store where you can shop & then we had our dinner next door. Parking- they have their own parking spots read more

This tour exceeded my expectations. Brian (with an i not a y) was fantastic - the right mix of knowledge, sarcasm and humor. I really knew nothing about how pineapples are grown, their history and how strained the current farming industry is - drought and lack of historical skill being passed down to a new generation. Would recommend anyone who loves to learn and wants to be ruined for all future pineapple in their lives! It's just so good here I expect nothing in future to live up to what I tasted in the field read more

Great family tour! Online booking was easy. Plenty of parking in the lot. Easy check-in and a big retail store to look around in while waiting. Tour was facilitated via some walking, and via a mini-shuttle through the farm/plantation. We stopped in several areas to see the different stages of the pineapple, and towards the end of the tour, we were able to try fresh pineapples - delicious! Kennedy, our tour guide, was thoroughly informative, and quite the talented pineapple cutter (with a machete)! At the end, Kennedy took photos of us with my camera phone, as well as with their camera, and we were sent a link to a digital photo with the Maui Pineapple logo in the corner. The tour seems pricy but I think it's worth it because you get a pineapple to bring home (in your checked bag), to grow your own pineapple! I don't know if I have the patience to try in Vegas but at least I have the opportunity :) read more
