The Last Stretch — Arrival Tips

  • Send us your arrival details and we'll arrange pickup in Tacloban, Cebu or Naval (45–60 min to the farm, small fee or included in the travel package).
  • The last stretch is a mountain road — a tricycle or sturdy motorbike is best. We can also arrange a water buffalo ride to the farm; a short trek is necessary to the site.
  • Arrive before 4 PM so you reach the farm in daylight; the road has no lights.
  • If you're delayed, message or call +63 917 602 5068 — we hold rooms for travel hiccups.
