Going to Flower Farm:

On your own:
-Take any jeep that says “Lahug” on its signboard. Ask the driver to drop you at JY Square Mall.
- Motorcycle riders or local “habal-habal” riders are in the area waiting for tourists that will hire their service. Rate varies from P150 to P250. Talk with your chosen rider before making a deal.

With your own vehicle:
-Just ask for directions towards the Flower Farm or use GPS.

Can you hire a taxi?

According to one of the taxi drivers we talked with, they don’t often take tourists to the Flower Farm because the way to the Farm is purely uphill and can be challenging for taxis.

Reminder:

- There is a P20 entrance fee

-Wear jacket on your habal-habal ride because the ride is 30-35 minutes

-Buying flowers on site is allowed and is cheaper

What you will find in Sirao Flower Farm?

You will find celosia (the flame-like flower), the deep-hued daisy and chrysanthemum among others. Luckily, we visited the farm a few days before harvest which is supposed to be November 01 hence the flowers are its blooming stage and are all looking great.

Update:

Recent news from Sunstar Cebu reported that the flowers from BJ’s Farm will be kept as it is. It was supposed to be harvested and be sold this All Saint’s Day but due to the influx of tourists since October 26^th, the Ople’s decided to postpone harvesting for good.
