Dole Plantation with Pineapple Express Train Tour


Mom Violy wanted to bring Carmina to see the Dole Plantation while we're visiting Hawaii.

Gilbert drove us to Dole Plantation where he knew Mom Violy wanted to take pictures of herself.

There was a lot of tourists when we went there it may say it will take two hours waiting time for the train ride although it is not true.

We had asked the person who was receiving the tickets and advised us to purchase our tickets.



Pineapple Express Train Tour is about 22 to 25 minutes.

Carmina decided to purchase some gummies where she heard Li Hing was very popular.
