The Rockland Bird Sanctuary is home to many species of birds, some endemic to Jamaica while others flew to the Island from other countries and make Jamaica their home. The bird sanctuary is located in the hills of a small community called Anchovy, approximately a 20-minute drive from the the city of Montego Bay. The tour can last for 45 minutes to over 1 hour depending on the group's interest. Bird lovers will find this tour very fascinating as many different birds will fly from trees to the ground for you to feed them.
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.

It was average. Not a lot of hummingbirds. The $25.00 admission fee is too expensive for the very short experience. And they only take cash.

Fantastic place. So many birds to see. Could have stayed all day. Hummingbirds were amazing. Must go again sometime and stay longer. And nice coffee and biscuits too.

This experience was so peaceful and serene, having the hummingbirds fly up and sit on your finger and drink the nectar was absolutely amazing. Our driver, Kevin was great fun & made the transfer back-and-forth so enjoyable. Highly recommend this experience.

Excellent opportunity to learn about Hummingbirds up close. Excellent staff. We also went on guided bird walk with Fritz, , 24 species seen in short time including 3 owls. Unfortunately I lost my for me meaningful sun hat, and could not contact the sanctuary as no email, and no one picks up the phone there. That was quite disappointing

It was wonderful to see the small animals eating from your hand. The sound of the wings is fascinating.

Great tour guide David Richie. He told us so much about Jamaica. We were picked up from our hotel, taken to the bird sanctuary, and dropped back off at our hotel. Fritz was wonderful at the bird sanctuary and it was so fun to hand feed the beautiful birds in their natural habitat!
