Rocklands Bird Sanctuary - This is a fantastic experience especially if you love birds. It's not a big sanctuary but the wildlife is amazing. The owner is so knowledgeable and more than happy to share his vast experience with you. The sound that the humming birds make as the approach and drink is amazing. You must use the super slow mo on your phone if you want to see these majestic birds in all thier glory. Take water with you as this place is remote and does not sell anything. Definitely a wonderful place to visit.

Best experience in Jamaica - This was my favourite trip in Jamaica. The experience of feeding humming birds sitting on your finger is just out of this world.

Great for everyone taking my kids next visit - Loved this experience. Being able to relax in the trees and feed birds was truly an experience I will never forget. Our guide was very laid back and full of knowledge. I learned so much about various plants, trees, bees, and birds.

Amazing 👏 - This was the best experience myself and my family had on our jamaican holiday. It is an absolute secret , off the grid , wonderful experience. You should not shy away from this if your on holiday around montego bay. It Is worth the money. Feeding the humming birds is an absolutely amazing thing to do. Memories we will never forget. So peaceful and relaxing , we went away feeling so chilled and relaxed. Thank you so much to the owner for letting us be part if this.

A Great Guide - The Bird Sanctuary was an incredible experience I couldn't recommend enough, but as admission isn't covered by this package I was sceptical about the price. However, our driver Randy was a great guide and had lots of insights about the local area. He made the travel to and from the Sanctuary a great addition to a great day

Rare humming bird feeding experience - The tour went well with a lot of humming birds, finches, and even an owl. Not a venue for kids or adults with short attention spans that need all the flashy marketing.

Not as “ Billed” - Disjointed communication about pick up. Driver link up was confusing. Poor transportation. Van smelled of pot smoking. Bird Sanctuary would not take credit card and only took cash. Disappointing venue. Not as billed. Definitely not worth the cost. Never again

Do not waste your money! - We payed approx $120 for round-trip private transport for 3 adults to the "sanctuary" from the cruise terminal. In addition, there is a $30 cash only entrance fee for each adult. Now I realize these prices are absolute robbery! Driver was 20 mins late and required multiple phone calls to determine when/where to meet. (Also, he was sneezing/coughing the entire time.) After about a 20 min drive we arrived at the "sanctuary", which appears to be just someone's yard with lots of seating crammed in plus a large side deck/viewing platform. There were about 30 people sitting around, most holding hummingbird feeders. Over the course of about 30 minutes, 5-6 beautiful little hummingbirds zipped in and out, often landing on people's fingers. Not everyone had a chance to feed the hummingbirds, although I guess you could have kept sitting there for pretty much as long as you wanted, and you would eventually get a "hit". Thinking there was more to the "sanctuary", we asked to see the rest of the property and some guy walked us around for about 5 minutes pointing out different types of trees and a few other birds eating fruit/bird seed. After this, we summoned our driver and returned to the cruise terminal. Bottom line....if you feel it's worth $70 per person (more if you add tips) to have the chance of a hummingbird sit on your finger, you will love this tour. Everyone else will feel tremendously disappointed and ripped off. These prices are outrageous for the area and this experience was 1 star due only to the hummingbirds, which were admittedly beautiful. I learned my lesson the hard way so you don't have to!
