Awesome Experience - It was a great day for hummingbirds to feed from your hands. The guide was a very friendly and helpful person. The view of Montego Bay was breathtaking.

MUST DO hummingbird sanctuary experience - This experience was an incredible opportunity to learn more about the national bird of Jamaica - the hummingbird. Dasayev was an outstanding host and really customized the experience for me to help me maximize my time on my final day in Jamaica before traveling home. I loved feeding the hummingbirds, and the views from the sanctuary overlooking the city were unrivaled. You should book this experience!!

Excellent day in Bird Sanctuary - About the tour: It is as raw as possible. One hour road to sanctuary, around 2 hours there and 1 hour back. In the sanctuary you pay entry ticket 25$ cash pp and you are given a chair and a small bottle with sugar syrup. Then you need to wait. For us birds arrived in 5 minutes and we seen 3 different kinds of hummingbirds feeding from our hands. When this tiny creature sits on your finger and starts to feed miracle happens. If you think that it will not happen for you, you are better not to go there. About the tour company: Das is operating small family business and they are doing their best. I took tours from 4 different tour providers and Das was just on other level. They are going the extra mile and doing everything to satisfy the client. After the tour he stopped for us near some street fruit seller and we tried almost everything. He paid for us and charged us absolutely nothing for that. It happened because we told him that we didn't tried good coco. I definitely recommend Das for any kind of tour and activity. You will be satisfied with their services for sure.

Excellent Trip - We took this trip with Daz from Finesse Jamacia tours. The day ran very smoothly we were picked up on time from our hotel and driven to Rocklands Humming bird centre on the way Daz pointed out areas of interest and stopped for a quick photo stop at the best locations. At the centre we were told about the birds and held little bottles of nectar to feed them. It was a magical experience and made for dome great photo opportunities. We were never rushed and only left when we had enough. We them moved on to the rafting centre where we had a lovely float down the river with an optional limestone leg massage if required.. The boat captain Freddy was very accommodating and let us steer the boat a bit for photo opportunities and stopped at key locations along the way. To be honest the boat trip was a bit shorter than I expected but it was a great experience overall. Then Daz returned us to our hotel in time for lunch. I would highly recommend this trip and the company. Do check their Web site for other tours they offer.

Amazing day! Both excursions - My friend and I did both the bird sanctuary and the bamboo rafting excursion, highly recommend doing both! The day was our favorite part of our two week trip! The bird sanctuary was very cute and the employee working was very knowledgeable on the birds and helped ensure you would have them land on you. The rafting was such a fun and laid back experience. The fresh water was beautiful and everyone was dancing and having fun on their rafts. Das was a great tour guide, we immediately felt safe when he picked us up and had good conversation. He was very informative and made sure to take lots of pictures for your memories. Would 100% do the same tour again if I come back here and book through Finesse Vacations.

Magical experience - The experience driving with Das was fantastic. He was so easy going and friendly. The car was very comfortable and relaxing. The bird sanctuary was a slice of heaven on earth. Holding hummingbirds in our hands was magical. I loved every moment!
