Rocklands Bird Sanctuary: 2-Hour Montego Bay Tour

10. Rocklands Bird Sanctuary: 2-Hour Montego Bay Tour

Hand-feed hummingbirds and marvel at the variety of bird life at the Rocklands Sanctuary on a 2-hour tour from Montego Bay. The Rocklands Bird Sanctuary, located just outside Montego Bay, was owned and run for many years by Lisa Salmon, and continues to be run as a sanctuary following her death. Her nephew Fitz is now in charge, and has been associated with the site for 15 years. The sanctuary is home to thousands of birds from Jamaica and migrant birds who have flown thousands of miles to feed here. The Red-billed Streamertail and Jamaica Mango are so tame that they will come straight to a handheld bottle of sugar water and some will even sit on your finger to feed. Jamaica has 4 resident species of hummingbird, 3 of which can be found at the Rocklands Sanctuary, but the fourth, the Black-billed Streamertail, is found only on the very eastern part of the island. Put some seed on your hand to attract the Black-faced Grassquit, Yellow-faced Grassquit, and Orangequit. See the Bananaquit and Greater Antillean Bullfinch hopping around the feeders. There’s an outdoor patio area where you can sit and watch birds such as the Jamaican Oriole using the feeders. The Common Ground-Dove and Caribbean Dove can be seen around the gardens, looking for the seed provided in the sanctuary.

THIS WAS LITTTT! I could do without the paper cups but I understand why they do it that way. The drinks were good but some were took strong that my cup discentigraded by the time I was able to drink it lol. But overall an amazing time!

We had an absolute blast. The staff was so fun and accommodating. Music was great, drinks were great! 100% would book this again. Only downside was that there’s a lot of people on one cruise.

I had a hummingbird sit on my finger and drink sugar water from a bottle. I put seed on my leg and a bananaquit landed n my leg and ate the seed.

It was so much fun! Our guide Noel was amazing and loves his job! Definitely recommend, although the swimming portion was short.

Excellent experience! I can’t go to Jamaica and not do this. Everyone should do this once in their life.
