PINEAPPLE 101

Pineapples are cliché in Hawaii. But that didn’t stop me (and it shouldn’t stop you) from going on the highly entertaining Maui Pineapple Tour. Personable guides explain the life cycle and cultivation of the plant as you’re driven through pineapple fields with ocean views. Our guide did a Ninja warrior trick, carving up pineapples into perfect bite-size chunks in the blink of an eye. We were all fed sweet, juicy pineapples until we couldn’t eat any more. They were quite simply the best pineapples I’ve ever had; Maui Gold pineapples are known for low acidity and high sweetness. At the end of the tour, everyone received a pineapple packed for flight. mauipineappletour.com
