I am not a fan of avocados, but after visiting Tim & Michelle’s farm, I must say my appreciation for avocados has definitely grown. Learning about the many ways avocados can be enjoyed, along with their health benefits, made the experience even more interesting. A special thanks to Tim for passionately sharing his knowledge and experience about avocado farming — from growing them from scratch to understanding the care and dedication behind the plantation. It was truly a privilege to learn firsthand and gain a deeper appreciation for the fruit and the hard work involved. Best of all, my granddaughter absolutely loved the experience and enjoyed the avocados so much 🥑💚 An eye-opening and memorable experience indeed.

Thank you Tim for an excellent tour and generously sharing your knowledge and passion with us. We learned so much about growing avocados in the Bay of Plenty and loved the delicious guacamole, avocado oils, and yummy treats!

My husband and I signed up for the avocado tour off of the recommendation of our hotel. We had minimal expectations going in, and Tim completely knocked our socks off. The tour was wildly informative, and Tim graciously answered all of the (many) different questions we had. We learned about avocado growing in general, Tim’s orchard and how it came to be and some New Zealand history as well. Tim let us go up in his picking machine, which was a very cool experience. We opted to also do the gourmet avocado tasting at the end, which was well worth it. Everything was delicious, and Tim sent us the recipes after the tour. This was one of the last activities we did on a busy 8-day trip of the northern island, and we highly recommend it to anyone in the area. It was a truly authentic New Zealand experience, lead by a great guy. Also the avocado merch stand was full of novelty items that we loved. Please do this tour - you will love it just as much as we did.

Our experience with the avocado tour guide was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived at the orchard, it felt like a ten-star experience rather than just five star. Tim and Michelle's passion and knowledge about avocados brought the orchard to life, and every moment was filled with fascinating insights and delightful flavors. The Avocado Orchard stay was absolutely fantastic. The facilities were top-notch, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was super comfy, and the location was prime, making it a truly great stay. Overall, it was a perfect home away from home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! It truly was unforgettable and we will stay there again 🥑
