    Absolutely excellent tour that we could not recommend enough. We learned so much during the tour and really enjoyed every second of it. The food they provided on the gourmet tour was excellent as well - the guacamole, avocado oils, etc... The history behind the owners/operators purchasing this orchard is inspiring as well.

    We were on our way from Auckland to Matamata (Hobbiton) and are very happy we made a detour to Katikati. Tim was a great host, very welcoming and very knowledgeable. We learnt about the management of the Orchard, the pollination of the flowers, the growing of the avocado trees and the different grades of avocados among others. We then had a taste of Tim's guacamole, it was fantastic. We highly recommend the tour.

    We really enjoyed meeting Tim the owner of the orchard. He has learned so much in only two years and has taken some very bold steps! We loved hearing about the avocado cycles and seeing the huge beautiful trees. Definitely you should book the gourmet food tour. We tried many different foods made with avocado! It was a very enjoyable two hours. And if you had time you could make a day out of it and go to the Katikati bird gardens which are on the same road. Make sure you come hungry!

    What a genuinely fascinating and brilliant experience. It was so great to see a couple’s dream of a better life coming true. And I didn’t realise avocados could be so interesting! We arrived onto the family run orchard and met the delightful Tim. He is the font of knowledge when it comes to avocados and listening to his journey from his previous career into growing, was so captivating to hear. We did a tour of the orchard whilst learning about avocados and Tim’s experiences. I would recommend the gourmet tour as you then get to try a range of homemade avocado products which were delicious. In summary, a highly recommended tour and such a lovely way to spend a couple of hours.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Tim. His enthusiasm and knowledge are fantastic. We learned a lot about avocados! The tasting afterwards was amazing. We had no idea you could make gelato from avocados! We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn a bit more about the avocado industry. Michelle also gave some advice on how to tell if an avocado is ripe and some great recommendations on other things to see and do in Katikati.
