Make a visit to Green Acres Orchard - it's DURIAN season!
A good selection of durians from our 450 matured durian trees will give you a tasting experience enough to appreciate why Balik Pulau is so famous for its durians.
Our Durian Tasting tour includes a farm walk where you get to pick and taste as you go, of durians and other tropical fruits. Also included are local spices and precious medicinal wild herbs that thrive in a natural chemical-free environment like our farm's.
Children take to our farm tours very well as it is an experiential walk for them - observe, pick, feel, smell, taste and learn.
After the walk, settle into our 'durian hut' - a traditional Malay kampung (village) house that looks out to the orchard and hills of Balik Pulau. Enjoy fresh air and a very relaxing atmosphere while you savour each variety of durians served to you.
