Excellent family experience - My family and I visited here today. I can only say, wow! We had an excellent time. With a great fruit tasting, then an excellent informative tour with another stop to crack some macadamia nuts and walk around, then a bot tor with another stop at a playground for the kids. Even the young ones didn’t get bored. A delicious lunch after. All in all, great value for money, good humoured staff, we had a terrific day.

Wonderful experience at Tropical Fruit World - We visited Tropical Fruit World for the first full tour of the day and it was a full sensory experience! The tasting room was so beautiful with fruit of many colors that dazzled the eye. The presenter, I believe his name was Zed, described each of the nine fruits, homemade guacamole from fresh avocados, and five jams we were about to sample. He detailed not only the tastes we would encounter, but also its history, where it was found in the world, as well as its health or medicinal benefits. I loved the jam native to the area, Davidson's plum, which was a bit sourish tasting. We could also pick leaves from lemon myrtle branches, which smelled lovely and are said to ward off mosquitoes when rubbed on the skin. It also tasted delicious mixed in my water bottle. Next, Stewart took us around the farm. He was a wealth of knowledge, and told us the history of the area. He described the farm, and as we drove by them, all about its fruits and the different sections of them. He is a chef by trade and really seemed to appreciate the fruit as well as other food grown on the farm, such as the macadamia nuts. Everyone loved cracking them open at one particular stop, where many of us also enjoyed a banana. It was warm enough for the Australian native honeybees to emerge from their boxes in that area as well! We had additional stops at the farm to visit the animals as well as the island (which the kids loved) and a pleasant short boat ride on the river. I saw a beautiful kingfisher there! Stewart really made the trip special. He seemed to be knowledgeable about everything there and clearly loved giving tours! When we returned, I also spoke with Christian, another friendly staffer. He knew all about the farming methods used, and I believe he was studying to learn more about agriculture, as well as fruit and other foods native to Australia. I loved how Christian and others were so passionate about fresh, local fruit! All in all, a great place to visit!

A worthwhile visit - Welcoming, friendly staff. The tour was very interesting and informative too. The fruit tasting and tractor/ boat ride had something for everyone including a playground for the kids.

Nice Tour - Really informative tour of everything fruit! Learned a lot and had fun at the same time. Amazing history and to have so much diversity in fruit in one place is great. Recommended.l

A wonderful Visit to Tropical Fruit World & Northern New South Wales - I made my very first flight to northern NSW from Sydney over the Christmas 2024 break to stay with a friend who lives in Ocean Shores. I have never really wanted to go up that way, primarily because I didn't think there would be much to see....plus being a Kiwi, I am beyond paranoid about slithery, crawling critters. Well, how wrong was I! I never saw one cockroach or any slitheries, I see more cockroaches near my apt in Sydney! This whole region is stunningly beautiful, although the low lying tributaries give an insight into the occasional floods within the region. We visited some gorgeous towns: Thoroughly enjoyed Tweed Heads, then over the border to Coolangatta in Queensland, fab shopping but I do not know why they have a 1hr behind time difference?, Byron Bay, beautiful beach but I personally found the township too trendy and soulless. We also visited a hugely popular, fabulous pub at Billinudgel, had a great lunch at the RSL in Ballina, more great shopping, and my favourite town was Mullumbimby. This place with it's wide roads, quite common in Australian country towns, is an absolute treasure. It has the most fabulous Op Shops and quirky but classy shops. But one of the absolutely fabulous places we visited was Tropical Fruit World at Duranbah. This place is an incredible gem and all totally unexpected. My friend and I had booked the Full Farm Tour but didn't really know what to expect. We had a tractor ride around the massive acreage, then a farm tour of baby animals topped off with the most fantastic river cruise through beautiful trees and wildlife. Heavens it was pure magic and the commentary was so informative. It was all finished off with a superb tasting of fruits in season. You don't have to worry about bathrooms, there are plenty. Also everyone is so friendly and super helpful up this region. This was one truly magical day, the children absolutely loved it, you could see everyone was so absorbed with the scenery and relaxed.

Great family day out - Very well organised day, the tasting was a little chaotic but the farm tour by tractor was great. Very informative, we had not heard of many of the fruits we saw, and healing properties you can't believe

Great experience - It’s delightful to witness nature adorned with fruit trees and savor their sweet fruits. Additionally, it’s wonderful to have the children interact with the animals, and then embark on a boat ride to observe various water creatures. Afterward, the kids can indulge in their favorite sport, basketball, before visiting the fruit shop and the restaurant.

Good Experience - An experience not to be missed. We had the Fruit tasing session where many variety.of fruits were displayed. Details of the fruits were mentioned to all present before tasting session. Thereafter we were taken on Tractor Trailer through the fields. where a large variety of fruits are grown. Lastly we had a boat trip.

Will definitely be back! - This place exceeded our expectations. Everything was great! from the food to the tour to the gift shop.They accommodated for us when we arrived late. Our guide, Sean, was informative and personable. We tried exotic foods and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Will defo return! Thanks for the great experience!

Good but not Excellent - Visited as a family of 3 (with a 3.5yo). Hired a car from Gold Coast. Enjoyed the place, my son mostly enjoyed the tractor ride, boat ride and 5 min animal feeding. Staff were very informative. Fruit tasting was average (no water provided on the day meaning you have to purchase a bottle) Im giving a 3 because i felt like the animal feeding shouldve been a little longer than 5min? The cafe was also average and the lady making the dairy free ice cream had terrible memory in remembering 2 orders of ice cream. I had to repeat myself 3-4 times. Funny enough my order was already on the board because its one of their recommendations. Im hoping for the future, at the end of tour, a free small ice cream would be provided as part of the tour for the price we paid for (even atleast for the kids). I wouldnt say my son had an excellent time to be raving about it but id say he had a good day.
