This really is a great place to go and see Humming Birds without having to look at them through a wire mesh -- they are free to fly wherever they want. But just be warned -- We were charger $50 US for this 2 adults and 1 child !! Which I must admit is very expensive for 1/2 an hour. more

We went to the Rockland bird sanctuary. I thought it might be dull for my 11 and 8 year olds, but they loved it. I just have to say that the guide we had was increible and so patient with my 8 yr old! We stood in the jungle and fed doctor birds and humming birds by hand. My 11... more

This place was really great. I visited with my five year old daughter and we both had a wonderful time. Fritz the caretaker was interesting and told us all about the different birds that we fed while there, then took us for a walk around the grounds, where we saw various tropical plants and a gorgeous view of Montego Bay... more

If you are visiting Montego Bay and are a bird lover then Rocklands Bird Sanctuary is a must. It isn't the easiest of places to find (about 7Km outside of Montego Bay) as although signposted it is at the end of a narrow unmade track, so taxi transport with local knowledge is a must but once there the experience is... more

Rockland's Bird Sanctuary is a lovely place to visit. Fritz feeds many species of birds and can tell you all about them. The drive is quite bumpy. This was my second visit. In August 07 there was a $10 fee per person. In April 08 I took my mother and Fritz tried to charge $15 per person. It was not... more

this is a must see if you are visiting Jamaica. Unfortunately it is only accessible by car so negociate a price with a taxi driver. On entering the sanctuay you are given a small bottle of sugar water and shown by Fritz how to hold it to entice the many humming birds to hover and take the nectar. Afterwards Fritz... more

This was our first trip to Jamaica so we didn't know what to expect but the sanctuary was amazing!To have a hummingbird sit on your finger was so exciting. Fritz was very helpful & a wonderful host. He took our pictures for us while we were in awe of the birds. Then the following garden tour is also beautiful &... more

The trip to the sanctuary was scary...the road is unpaved and up a very steep hill...our driver was knowledgable and told us anything we needed to know. Once we got to the sanctuary we were greeted by the caretaker who gave us a bottle of sugar water. You hear the hummingbirds all around and see plenty of other birds and... more

I would like to add to the rave reviews of this santuary.We were in the area on a cruise ship and would not have been aware of the place without a single reference in a guide book. I love birdwatching and this is the number one bird experience of my 66 years, up there with seeing albatross from a cargo... more
