A genuine working tropical-fruit farm turned family agritourism park — and a surprise top-5 Desaru search, because it’s the reliable rainy-day, kids-in-tow half-day. A guided tour walks you through the orchards, fish ponds and a honey demo, there’s a petting zoo, ATV rides and an on-site restaurant cooking the farm’s own produce. It sits outside the Coast gates in Kota Tinggi.

Our independent tip
It’s a real working farm, not a theme park — set kids’ expectations and the base RM 30 tour is good value. The extras (ATV, animal feeding) add up fast, so decide what you’re doing before you arrive, and check the online bundle prices first — they’re often cheaper than buying at the gate.

Is Desaru Fruit Farm good for kids?
Yes — it’s one of the more reliable family stops in Desaru. The petting zoo and the double-seater ATV (a parent can ride with a young child) are the highlights for children, and the guided tour is short enough (~45–60 minutes) to hold their attention.
How long do you need at Desaru Fruit Farm?
Plan for a half day. The core tour runs about 45–60 minutes; add the petting zoo, an ATV session and lunch at the on-site restaurant and you’ll comfortably fill a morning or afternoon.
Is there lunch at Desaru Fruit Farm?
Yes — beyond the base tour there’s a “Tour with Lunch & Fruit Fiesta” package (around RM 78 per person) that adds a set lunch of fruit-infused dishes, like tom yum made with coconut water or calamari with a dragon-fruit dip, followed by an all-you-can-eat buffet of the farm’s own tropical fruit (durian, banana, starfruit and passion fruit in season). Larger family packages bundle the ATV in too. Prices change, so confirm on the farm’s own site.
