"Bird and nature lovers will fall for the gorgeous gardens of the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary. Home to hundreds of endemic as well a migrant species of birds, you can spot Jamaica’s national bird–the Doctorbird or Red-billed Streamertail hummingbird–as well as the Mango hummingbird and Caribbean doves, among others. The highlight of visiting the sanctuary is feeding hummingbirds right out of your hand, with seeds or with a bottle filled with sugary water. (Photo by Alex Massengale)"

This was an ethereal and one in a life time experience!Not only getting to learn more about the bird species, our national bird but also being able to see and feed them up close! Booked this experience for my birthday and I want disappointed! Though it seems simple, it’s honestly so wholesome and exciting at the same time, you just have to experience it for yourself!

✨ Review of My Visit to Rocklands Bird Sanctuary ✨ Visiting Rocklands Bird Sanctuary was truly the highlight of my trip and a memory I will cherish forever. Two years ago, I came across a video of this magical place, and finally being able to experience it in real life felt like a dream come true. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the host, Damion. His knowledge about the birds is incredible, and it was deeply moving to see how much passion, respect, and love he has for them. When the hummingbirds fly close to you, it honestly feels like something out of a fairy tale. They are so tiny, beautiful, and precious. You really have to experience it yourself to fully appreciate the wonders of Mother Nature. I am beyond grateful for this unforgettable experience. If you are traveling in Jamaica, I cannot recommend Rocklands Bird Sanctuary enough. It is an absolute must-visit. 💚☀️🦜✨🌱

Wild birds (hummingbirds and others) trusting to eat out of your hand. Very unique experience. We drove there with our rental car. It was US$30/person. [I live in the US. I know Jamaica quite well as I’ve been going there often for the last 25 years. Always renting our own car. The roads have gotten better but back roads can be tricky. If you are not confident in your driving skills, including reversing down narrow bumpy roads along steep ravines have a qualified local driver take you there. These are public roads and the bird sanctuary is not responsible for their condition.]

Fantastic experience in a beautiful location overlooking MoBay. The hosts were lovely, full of information and welcoming. Feeding hummingbirds by hand is unforgettable. The taxi from your hotel is well worth it. No question.

A visit to this bird sanctuary is truly an unforgettable experience! Hand-feeding hummingbirds and little finches was magical, and seeing two Jamaican owls up close was incredible. The peaceful atmosphere and the chance to connect with these beautiful creatures made it a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Highly recommend for nature lovers and anyone visiting Montego Bay!

Had an incredible experience with my granddaughter—up front and personal feeding of hummingbirds. Very fascinating to see how they suddenly just appear right at your fingertips feeding on sugar water. Loved it.
