Discover the Maui Gold Pineapple Tour in Hawaii

Located in Hāliʻimaile, Hawaii, in Maui’s fertile upcountry region, the Maui Gold Pineapple Tour offers a guided experience through a working pineapple plantation. Guests ride through the fields, learn how Maui Gold® pineapples are cultivated and harvested, and taste freshly cut fruit at peak ripeness.

Set against the slopes of Haleakalā, this agricultural tour showcases one of Hawaii’s most iconic crops in the very region where it is grown.

Why it’s special: Every guest receives a complimentary Maui Gold® pineapple to take home, freshly harvested from the same fields explored during the tour.

History & Story of Maui Gold Pineapple

Pineapple cultivation has been central to Maui’s agricultural history for over a century. While large-scale pineapple operations once dominated the island, production declined in the late 20th century.

Maui Gold Pineapple Company continues the legacy by growing the exclusive Maui Gold® variety in Hāliʻimaile, focusing on quality over quantity. Known for its extra-sweet flavor and low acidity, Maui Gold® is harvested fully ripe—unlike most commercially exported pineapples.
