An AMAZING day!!!
Thank you SNL tours for allowing us to customize the trip from Runaway Bay (Bahia Principe Luxury), and especially FRANKLIN for the awesome time you showed us. You were waiting patiently for us in the morning- 1 hr early! Then took us through some interesting areas to show us what houses in Jamaica looked like on the way to sanctuary. The Rocklands bird sanctuary is beautiful & quiet, thx Fritz for welcoming us. The birds are sweet it was a nice experience. However, our guide mentioned there's a zoo in Falmouth and to be honest, I think that might be a much better idea for the tour because Fritz gave us maybe 2 fun facts about doctor birds and then we were left to chase 3 birds around for the next hour...5-10min lulls where no birds were coming to feed. There wasn't a consistent/ large number of birds for it to feel like a "sanctuary"... You stick around with hopes that more birds will come but it didn't happen fast enough. The time it takes to drive up the mountain isn't worth it for what you're doing. However, we tried to make the best of it. Then Franklin took us to downtown Montego Bay and we went to Sam Sharpe Square... we also saw the beautiful St. James Church... The Pastor was there and he showed us around, gave us so much info about the Church and that was wonderful he was so kind. We felt so blessed to be in Jamaica exploring on Jamaica's Independence Day August 6th...that was so special. Unfortunately we didn't go see Richmond Hill house, I guess that area was closed because of independence day... We went to shop on hipstrip and then Franklin was nice enough to stop roadside to get some street curry crab omg that was the bomb.com... Woyy Jamaica you guys can cook! Thank you so much again for the experience SNL & Franklin - you went above and beyond... great laughs and talk!! We learned so much and appreciate you sharing the day with us! Hope to see you guys soon xoxo!!!

recommend 100%
I definitely recommend this tour. The bird sanctuary is just a few minutes drive and in a calm environment. The guide Copely was excellent. I felt safe the entire tour, he shared a lot of knowledge and we had a good laugh!

Not dependable!
Cancelled due to not enough people. No notice. I called to see what the pickup time was and was told then!! 8 pm the night before. Hire a taxi to take you to either place. Cheaper and you get the same experience. Bird sanctuary was lovely. In the City you can walk from the historical old town to hip strip. Shop or not.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rocklands Bird Sanctuary & City Highlights plus Shopping from Montego Bay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.
How much does Rocklands Bird Sanctuary & City Highlights plus Shopping from Montego Bay cost?
+
Prices start at $125 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 Rocklands Bird Sanctuary & City Highlights plus Shopping from Montego Bay take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Rocklands Bird Sanctuary & City Highlights plus Shopping from Montego Bay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 18 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 Rocklands Bird Sanctuary & City Highlights plus Shopping from Montego Bay?
+
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 Rocklands Bird Sanctuary & City Highlights plus Shopping from Montego Bay suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rocklands Bird Sanctuary & City Highlights plus Shopping from Montego Bay?
+
Around 6 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rocklands Bird Sanctuary & City Highlights plus Shopping from Montego Bay 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.
