Factory Tours in Oahu
The tropical paradise that is Oahu sparkles with beauty from one end of the island to the other. Adding to the exotic ambience are the delicious pineapples for which Hawaii is famous. Oahu's factory tours give you a chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at the local pineapple industry and the state's largest jewelry manufacturer.
The juiciest tour on Oahu takes place at the Dole Plantation, in Waihawa. Self-guided, visitors can enjoy pineapple-themed attractions as well as the world's largest maze. You'll also have the opportunity to purchase the freshest take from the plantation's crop and eat it right in the site's store or ship it home. Taste one of 20 different varieties of pineapples as you take a train ride on the “Pineapple Express” around the facilities and learn about the company's history.
Right in the heart of Honolulu sits Marine Divers. A tour of this unique gem factory will surely illuminate your stay on the island. Watch as workers craft stunning pieces of jewelry from Hawaiian coral, pearls, and gold. Note that you'll have to be at least 12 years old to cast your eyes on these treasures, and don't expect any free samples.
Behind-the-scenes and factory tours are typically family-friendly activities good for a short and interesting diversion from a region's mainstream tourist activities. Enjoy both tours for free, but note that some tours have irregular hours and admission restrictions. Click on the individual icons for more practical information.
