The Mission
What do you get when you take 13 people, pineapple cake pops, and the worlds largest maze? You get the perfect opportunity for our very first Sweets Adventure! THE MISSION: Eat pineapple cake pops in the center of the Dole Plantations Giant Garden Pineapple maze and then complete the maze in under an hour.
We had a fun group to get this adventure going. It included The Tonga Sisters, their younger brother and sisters, our good friend Halle and her younger sister and nephew, my husband, and myself. If you don't know who the Tonga Sisters are you should really check them out because they are amazingly talented singers!

The Pineapple Maze The maze itself stretches over 3 acres of land and includes just about two and a half miles worth of pathway. It's made out of hedges that surround a giant botanical pineapple. It was at the crown of the botanical pineapple that we chose to pose for a picture and enjoy our pineapple cake pops. We then split into 3 groups to race through the labyrinth, discover the eight hidden stations and back out of the maze to complete our mission! |
Beyoncé Tonga
Even though they give you a little map my group decided to follow wherever our feet and an extremely competitive 8 year old group member took us. It was really a lot of fun. Being led to the exact same station 3 times was probably the closest we got to getting lost. But no matter the set backs, we all had a lot of fun and were able to finish the maze in under an hour. One of the Tonga Sisters, we'll call her Beyoncé, ended up breaking off from the rest of her group, going it on her own and wound up finishing first at just under 40 minutes.

Dole Pineapple Whip
Aside from the maze there is also a gift shop, pineapples of course, a train ride tour on the Pineapple Express where one can learn the history of the plantation and some cool facts about pineapples, and the Pineapple Grille where you can get the most amazing pineapple whip. It is so light and delicious and it is dairy free. My only wish is that I had a cone of it right now. My mouth is watering so much I could cry. It literally tastes just like a pineapple! And it is the perfect way to end a sweets adventure.
What shall we do for our next Sweets Adventure? Have you ever had pineapple whip? Doesn't it look amazing!? Don't forget to check out the Tonga Sisters!
