    About this experience

    Bird lovers will find this tour very fascinating as many different birds will fly from trees to the ground for you to feed them.( This tour inclusive of entrance fee). The hummingbirds, the national bird of Jamaica, are part of a special experience as you sit with a bottle of their favorite drink, wait for them to perch on your outstretched finger while you feed them from the bottle. Next, you will take a walk through the garden with the guide to see the different trees and herbs before the tour ends.

    What you'll see and do

    1. Rocklands Bird Sanctuary

      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.

    Hummingbirds hummingbirds & more!

    Our driver, JD, was excellent. He stopped for souvenir shopping, and local food (Scotchies) which was very good & reasonably priced. We were able to stay longer than expected at Rockland Bird Sanctuary where we hand fed hummingbirds & other endemic birds. Great day!

    Response from the operator: Hi Global, "Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience! We're glad DJ took great care of you and showed you the best of Jamaica. Hand-feeding hummingbirds at Rockland Bird Sanctuary is definitely a highlight! We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back soon! One love from Jamaica Terrific Travel Tours.

    A trip to Rockland Bird Sanctuary

    We were met at the dock by Bailey who was a great driver and had a very comfortable vehicle. The trip to rockland was very interesting and Bailey made it more enjoyable. The experience at the bird sanctuary was most enjoyable and a unique experience. The trip back was good and Bailey again took us to an outstanding shop so we could get some good souvenirs of Jamacia. It was truely the best part of the cruise.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Theodore for writing this review, and sharing your experience with the world. We at Jamaica Terrific Travel Tours are happy to know that you are pleased with our service and also bailey. Once again thank you for booking with us and we hope to see you again soon 🙏🙏

    Delightful in every way!

    I loved spending time on the cool mountaintop where all the pretty birdies are happy and well looked after a kind and gentle man named Fritz. He even put some feed on my leg so that the little finches would land on me and catch a snack. But the hummingbirds are phenomenal. They even make a whirring noise when they fly so you'll know when they are nearby. Birds naturally fly away from you. That's why it is so incredible that these wonderful little creatures actually fly to you, land on your out-stretched finger and feed from the little bottles of sugar water. The view of Montego Bay is lovely and picture-worthy. What a wonderful, de-stressing activity and a something you'll never forget. And watch for the friendly little chameleon. It likes a little sweet water as it changes it's colors.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Roger for taking the time to write this wonderful review. We at Jamaica Terrific Travel Tours really appreciate it. Once again thank you and we hope to see you again soon 🙏

    Rockland Bird Sanctuary plus Montego Bay Highlights & Shopping Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.

    How much does Rockland Bird Sanctuary plus Montego Bay Highlights & Shopping Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $97 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montego Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Rockland Bird Sanctuary plus Montego Bay Highlights & Shopping Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montego Bay is not rushed.

    Is Rockland Bird Sanctuary plus Montego Bay Highlights & Shopping Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montego Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Rockland Bird Sanctuary plus Montego Bay Highlights & Shopping Private Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Rockland Bird Sanctuary plus Montego Bay Highlights & Shopping Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Rockland Bird Sanctuary plus Montego Bay Highlights & Shopping Private Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montego Bay can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montego Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Rockland Bird Sanctuary plus Montego Bay Highlights & Shopping Private Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montego Bay within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Montego Bay?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montego Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Montego Bay Airport Transfer to Negril, Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Private Tour from Montego Bay, Appleton Estate Admission Ticket & Distillery Tour with Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Montego Bay?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Montego Bay?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
