JPT offers a taste of paradise

A new tour by the JPT Tour Group, Tastes of Paradise, combines tantalising seafood and unique fresh fruit tastings with the Gold Coast''s best outdoor tour experiences, from cruising glistening waterways to driving emerald rainforests and cuddling wildlife.

"Due to popular demand from the marketplace, the JPT Tour Group has designed and implemented this exciting new tour catering to food and nature enthusiasts," said chief executive officer Bob Brett.

This family friendly tour transfers guests by luxury coach to the Catch-a-Crab Cruise departure terminal on the Tweed River and on to the working farm, Tropical Fruit World in the lush Murwillumbah river valley.

A tranquil cruise on the Tweed River reveals the chance to experience fish and wild pelican feeding, bird spotting, yabbie pumping, fishing, crab and oyster tasting and then the JPT bus transfers guests via a scenic hinterland drive to Tropical Fruit World - a treasure trove of exotic fruits, farm animals, natural cosmetics and fresh food produce.

"It has always been the JPT Tour Group''s, and my personal promise, to be responsive to market needs and we have had numerous requests from agents and wholesalers seeking a tour that appeals to food-tourists," said Mr Brett.

"The southeast Queensland region has already established a firm reputation for its fresh food and locally produced wine and there is a flourishing network of Farmers'' Markets and an annual Tastes of the Gold Coast Festival every September," he said.

"Fine food is one of the joys of life and as Queensland''s largest tour company, the JPT Tour Group is proud to be delivering a quality and fun food experience with all the pleasures of the Great Southeast thrown in," said Mr Brett.

This is an unforgettable day out for visitors to the region and locals.

The multi-award winning Catch-A-Crab Tour is a favourite with the domestic and international markets and Tropical Fruit World''s fully working orchards, tractor tour, fauna park and jungle river cruise cap off the perfect day.

Morning tea is included as well as crab tastings with the option to upgrade to a decadent seafood basket, the afternoon offers exotic fruit tastings as well as a retail outlet and cafe selling fresh fruit drinks, icecreams, jams, cosmetics, bric-a-brac, condiments and delicious produce.

This is a full-day tour operating on Tuesdays and Thursdays at a cost of $135 per adult and $110 for children aged three to 14 years.
