Tauranga Food Forest Tours

Explore Tauranga's tropical bounty with guided tours, tastings, and nature walks.

Welcome to Our Food Forest

Join us to explore over 370 fruit trees, tropical plants, and a thriving food forest in Tauranga’s unique climate.

This is a hands-on, sensory experience - taste what’s in season, wander through dense, layered plantings, and discover what a real food forest feels like. Visit the greenhouse filled with queen pineapples and step into the tunnel house where tropical plants are grown and propagated.

Along the way, we’ll share how it all works - from design ideas to what’s actually thriving here - in a relaxed, down-to-earth way.

Every tour is a little different depending on what’s in season, and if you’re lucky, there may even be seeds or cuttings to take home.

Tour length 90-120 minutes

An unforgettable experience filled with delicious discoveries!

What visitors say about our food forest tours

I came away with a completely different way of thinking about growing food. It’s not just a collection of plants - it’s a system that actually works. Super inspiring and full of practical ideas you can take home

Walking through the food forest honestly didn’t feel like New Zealand, it felt like stepping into another world. I loved seeing how all the layers work together, from the ground cover right up to the canopy. I left feeling so full of ideas it was almost overwhelming - in the best possible way.
