World Tropical Fruits
Tropical Fruit World is Australia's largest plantation orchard farm and research park, and an internationally acclaimed tourist attraction located a short distance from the Gold Coast. This plantation paradise is actually situated on the rim of the largest extinct volcano in the southern hemisphere and offers breathtaking views of the Tweed Valley and McPherson Ranges.
Tropical Fruit World grows the largest range of tropical and rare fruit in the world and is blended with a native reserve of rain forest trails, landscaped waterways and native animals. Tropical Fruit World offers both international and domestic visitors an authentic taste of Australia.
Our tour begins with a scenic drive from the Gold Coast along the picturesque road through Tweed Heads and continuing on to Tropical Fruit World. Once there we will transfer from our bus to a comfortable tractor train for a ride through the exotic fruit plantations. Our guide will explain how the various fruits are grown, harvested, and marketed and answer any of our questions. We then go further into the plantation on a boat along a man-made tropical river, and see native birds, animals, and hopefully even a koala!
A miniature train ride is also part of our tour.
The tour concludes with a tasting of the tropical fruits grown at the plantation, a variety of native honey, and tropical tea. There is a short window of shopping time with facilities including a Farm Fruit Market and Nursery, the Tropical Passion range of jams, sauces and teas, and Tropicology Avocado Skincare beauty products
