Did go

christopher_b, Dec 2023

We did not go do to not enough people for this event . So we are waiting for a full refund at this time 😭

Not dependable!

Janaitascha_T, Mar 2023

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.

Amazing day

Troy_A, May 2022

I booked this for my clients and they had an Amazing time and the birds were so beautiful and friendly. They sent me a thank you saying how perfect the day was

Feeding the Dr. Bird

forcarollynne, Feb 2020

Loved the Rockland Bird Sanctuary! Was looking forward to seeing and feeding the Dr. Bird, and was not disappointed! They came right up to us immediately. Got to see other birds as well. Got some souvenirs at the store, and the view above the store was great!

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Dear Customer, Thanks for booking with us and sharing your experience! We are delighted to have you as our guest and would love to see you come back and visit us. Kind regards, Natalia M Manager

Hummingbird Heaven

My husband and I enjoyed our tour and the bird sanctuary was fantastic and the highlight of our trip. Our driver was flexible with what we did and we appreciated that immensely.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Dear Customer, Thanks for booking with us and sharing your experience! We are always honored and excited to serve you! We are looking forward to seeing you when next you travel! Kind regards, Natalia M Manager

Rocklands Rocks!!

cspell030926, Dec 2019

But the rest of the tour was problematic. It was good to see the real Montego Bay/ the view from the Richmond Inn is stunning and St. James was interesting. In retrospect- we should just have done Rocklands as we did not return to the resort until 2 PM...no stopping for lunch. Although ewe mentioned lunch to the guide (with caveats local food and SAFE) but he may not have taken us seriously OR traffic is so bad in "downtown" we may have been running late OR he just didn't know of a place that fit the requirements.

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Dear Customer, Thanks for booking with us! We are excited that you took the timeout to tell us about your tour! We are not sure why you did not stop for lunch - could be a misunderstanding on the driver's part. However, we will look into the matter and make the effort to prevent it from happening again. Kind regards, Natalia M Manager

Absolutely MAGICAL!

Malinda P, Apr 2019

If you love birds this will totally blow you away. I was moved to tears. You truly get to feed, while holding on a finger, sweet little hummingbirds. Not to mention all of the other birds and wildlife you get to experience as well. It was serene and absolutely magical. The Montego Bay highlights part of the tour was also fantastic. We got to see a middle-income neighbourhood, downtown, markets, historical sites, a church, and a historical hotel overlooking the entire city. It was truly incredible. We LOVED our driver/guide! Thank you!

I was very excited to go on this...

Steven L, Mar 2018

I was very excited to go on this tour as the Scissor-tail hummingbird is my favorite. The sanctuary was well maintained and the host was very nice and tried hard to get the birds to come to you. The only part I didn't like is there were rude people there and everytime a bird would come to my bottle the lady would put her bottle in front of me and scare the bird away. They were constantly talking and moving around and scaring the birds away. They spoke another language and maybe didn't know how to share. I don't know. But the host fellow was very informative and took us to the side and explained a lot of detail about the sanctuary and its surroundings. I would try this one again.

We had a fantastic experience. The guide was full of information

Magnifique

Myriam_Q, Apr 2024

C’est une expérience juste magique que je n’oublierai jamais. Je la recommande. Voir des colibris de si près est un moment hors du temps.

Carina la parte al Rocklands...

Marco P, May 2016

Carina la parte al Rocklands Sanctuary, molto suggestiva, e dura circa 1 ora. Le attrazioni di montego bay lasciano un pò a desiderare: si vede una piazza stando sul pulmino, senza scendere. Si visita una chiesa ma se ci sono messe o funerali l'interno non è visitabile. Infine si sale su una collina in una vecchia casa coloniale, enorme, ben tenuta e con una vista incantevole. Un pò scarna la parte delle attrazioni, migliorabile.
