Tropical Fruit World

A complete must do !! We first visited last year and just knew we’d have to come back again this year. The place is fantastic for all ages, but our little one loves it. Trying all of the new and exotic fruits, the tractor ride and a delicious cafe to refuel. All of the staff are extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.

We did the full tour with the pre tour tasting, boat ride and animal feeding. Everything was great, very kid friendly and definitely worth the money. The highlights were tasting edible flowers and fruits during the tour, plus the second stop where we tried bananas and cracked open macadamias. Such a fun experience. The only thing I’d change is spending more time on the actual farm tour rather than the boat and zoo, and having more tastings straight from the trees instead of at the tasting hall to get more of that farm feel. Overall, a great experience and I’d happily do it again.

Had a great morning with the Grandie down at Tropical Fruit World - 25kms south of the QLD border at Duranbah in NSW. Did the full 2 hour tour involving a ride on a trailer pulled by a tractor starting with a great intro to unusual tropical fruits & tasting, then tractor farm tour, then farm animal feeding, a boat ride and finally another tractor ride. During the tour there was also a stop where we tried bananas and cracked open macadamias - a real fun experience for the kiddo who reckons he ate 29! Everything was great, very kid friendly and definitely worth the money. Could've done with a bit more playtime on the island for the kids The cafe's barista scored 0 out of 10 for our pre tour long blacks which we couldn't drink! But the food offerings at lunchtime were excellent - toasted jackfruit Reuben was delish as was the Black Sapote cake. The fresh fruit icecream was huuuge but superb! The fruit stall was reasonably priced & we walked away happy with some A Cha Chas & Momey Sapote.

Tropical Fruit Farm in Duranbah is an absolute delight, provided your idea of a good time includes tasting fruits you cannot pronounce and pretending, for a brief moment, that you are the sort of person who owns an orchard. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the air smells like someone whispered “vitamin C”, and the entire place radiates a calm that makes you forget e-mails exist. The guided tasting was a highlight. I learnt more about fruit in one afternoon than I did in the past. Every sample was fresh, flavourful, and served with just enough explanation to make you feel clever without turning it into a lecture. The staff clearly love what they do, and that enthusiasm rubs off on you very quickly. What I appreciated most was how family-friendly it felt. Spaces to explore, little corners for photos, and enough variety to keep both adults and children entertained without anyone asking, “Are we done yet?” It is the sort of experience that quietly sneaks into the “must-repeat” category. A wholehearted recommendation from me. Go with an open mind, an empty stomach, and the willingness to fall in love with fruit all over again. Tropical Fruit Farm delivers a cracking day out.

Tropical Fruit World is a must-visit. The fruit tastings are excellent, with a wide range of tropical fruits you won’t find in supermarkets, all explained clearly by knowledgeable staff. You really get an understanding of flavour, texture, and how each fruit is meant to be enjoyed. The café is just as impressive — fresh, well-made food, great smoothies and juices, and a strong focus on quality produce. There’s also plenty of fruit and local products to take home. Educational, relaxed, and genuinely delicious. Highly recommended. 🍍🌿

We booked the full farm tour and it was worth it. Good experience for the whole family. My personal fave is the fruit tasting part - they provided us with a good selection of tropical fruits and dips/sauces to try. Our tour guide, Kea, was lovely and has the most serene voice ever. Her voice plus the movement of the tractor made my baby feel so relax he fell asleep. This experience is definitely worth it.

Wow this place is sooo fun even for adult and I’m so glad that I found out this place. All the staff are so knowledgeable and food and drinks here are just amazing. We took a tour and it was really cool trying so many different kind of fruits and my fav part was macadamia nuts area. Highly recommend for everyone to come here!

Great place, highly recommend to visit. A lot of fruits to try on the tasting part, and almost unlimited banana and macadamia eat. Tour guide was also very good. The only issue - prices at the shop are quite high, 14$ ice cream is a bit over the top

It's a solid experience in the fruit world. We enjoyed a meal in the cafe first, the highlight for us was the grilled chicken breast salad and the fish and chips. After that the truck ride around the farm was a great snapshot of the entire fruit world, along with the minitrain ride and the boat ride feeding geese. The gift + fruit shop at the end is quite expensive, but they do have a larger variety of fruit than at normal Australian supermarkets.

Totally worth a trip, even if it's for the ice cream alone! You go on a tour of the plantation, and see some nice scenery. A nice little boat ride, and even a mini train ride (not gonna lie it was a little awkward especially since it was a tight fit for the number of people on our tour). Along the way you stop to see some animals that you can feed and pet. Then you go to a food show where you learn some information and the best part - a tasting! There is also a little restaurant serving their fresh produce. The ice cream is amazing, you have to try it. You choose your fruits and they put it in vanilla ice cream. I had the chocolate fruit with banana and it was delicious. If you still haven't had your fill of fruit you can take some home from their little market stand. I'm dead serious about at least stopping for ice cream, when I take a trip down to Byron Bay you better believe we'll be making a pit stop for some ice cream!!

Recommend the black sapote (chocolate fruit) smoothie and the lamington which is also made with black sapote is a highlight.

Great half day out. Entry fee is expensive at $40 pp for a adult. We started off on a guided walk to where we got a informative talk on the fruit and products the place produces then got to taste the wonderful and exotic fruits. The kids loved tasting new fruits, the star fruit was a hit with my boys. We then got on a tracker and had a tour thorough the property stoping at various crops to taste test bananas and crack nuts open. We stopped at the petting farm and the kids got to hand feed the animals, from here we boarded a boat for a nice cruise, the kids wer given bread to throw out to he ducks following us. Final stop as treasure island. Here the kids went on a miniature train played mini golf, basketball, flying fox, they had a playground and plenty of covered tables and chairs to have a picnic. Overall had a great day, take our own Lunch as the cafe is expensive. Kids loved it.
