We stumbled upon this rum distillery tour via Viator while nearby at the Dole Plantation, which was just 10 minutes away. What a gem! Our guide JJ was fantastic—super knowledgeable about sugar cane, rum varieties, and the distillation process. We learned tons and loved the tasting session at the end. We each received a cool branded shot glass which was unexpected. It’s a trek from Waikīkī, but if you’re visiting Dole, make this your next stop. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite distilleries I've ever been to. The people are great and the rum is extremely interesting. It's obvious the people care about the product and the people who try it. It is absolutely worth the drive.

The rum tour was great! The lady showed us where they keep the rum that’s currently being made, showed us the sugar cane, and allowed us to try the sugar cane. She explained all the rums in detail and was very nice. It was a good experience that I would do again.

The upscale Rum tastings are really strong. The cocktail rums sit a little better on the pallet. . The highlight was This lil lpig next-door, which has wonderful smoked Hawaiian meats ….brisket, beans, and brisket were wonderful. coleslaw is the best ever.

Guide was extremely knowledgeable. Lots of information was provided and the rum flight selection was adequate.

Very informative but also fun. My 4 year old even had a great time, they gave her gelato and she got to see the giant turtle.

Although Emily did a good job as the guide, the day we went the distillery was closed. It would have been fair to let us know ahead of time or offer us the ability to cancel or reschedule at check-in.
Susan_S, Oct 2024
Emily was a wonderful tour guide. Learned a lot about the rum process. Emily’s a great asset to the brewery.
