Dole Pineapple Plantation

Thursday, 8th September 2005 by James

On the Hawaiian island of Oahu is the Dole Pineapple Plantation where the former largest-in-the-world maze is to be found. The maze is designed to resemble a pineapple (although it is upside down to our view) and is made of 11,400 colourful Hawaii plants, including pineapples.
