Had a great day at Tropical Fruit World. The Farm Tour, fruit tasting and macadamia nut cracking was fun, relaxed and informative. The cafe food was fresh and had the best carrot cake. There is a fresh fruit shop, plants to purchase and gift shop too. Enjoyable day out and beautiful surrounding area to explore.
