Privérondleiding Rockland Bird Sanctuary
Beschrijving
Het Rockland Bird Sanctuary is de thuisbasis van vele soorten vogels, sommige endemisch voor Jamaica, terwijl andere vanuit andere landen naar het eiland vlogen en Jamaica hun thuis maakten. Het vogelreservaat ligt in de heuvels van een kleine gemeenschap genaamd Ansjovis, op ongeveer 20 minuten rijden van de stad Montego Bay. De rondleiding kan 45 minuten tot meer dan 1 uur duren, afhankelijk van de interesse van de groep. Vogelliefhebbers zullen deze tour erg fascinerend vinden, omdat veel verschillende vogels van bomen naar de grond zullen vliegen om ze te voeren. De kolibries, de nationale vogel van Jamaica, maken deel uit van een speciale ervaring terwijl je met een fles van hun favoriete drankje zit te wachten tot ze op je uitgestrekte vinger neerstrijken terwijl je ze uit de fles voedt. Vervolgens maak je een wandeling door de tuin met de gids om de verschillende bomen en kruiden te zien voordat de tour eindigt.

Driver picked us up on time and was very friendly telling us about the local area as we drove to the bird sanctuary. When we arrived we was given a bottle of sugar water each to feed the birds .So amazing when humming bird came and sat on my finger to drink the water . Other birds came too we saw a yellow faced grass quit, a jamaican woodpecker a jamaican dove and more .There were 4 types of humming birds ,so beautiful in colour. The sanctuary is quite small but amazing for any bird lover and the guide was so kind answering all of my questions . Would love to go again . Sanctuary offers such a natural beautiful habit for its wildlife. This trip made my holiday x

This is a fantastic experience especially if you love birds. It's not a big sanctuary but the wildlife is amazing. The owner is so knowledgeable and more than happy to share his vast experience with you. The sound that the humming birds make as the approach and drink is amazing. You must use the super slow mo on your phone if you want to see these majestic birds in all thier glory. Take water with you as this place is remote and does not sell anything. Definitely a wonderful place to visit.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic experience at the bird sanctuary. It truly is a special place, and we’re glad you appreciated the incredible wildlife and the knowledge shared by the owner. The hummingbirds are certainly a highlight, and your tip about using slow-motion video to capture their beauty is a great suggestion! We also appreciate you mentioning the importance of bringing water, as the remote location adds to the sanctuary’s charm but requires a little preparation. We’re delighted you had such a memorable visit and hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
Very unique and entertaining experience. Fritz and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

We payed approx $120 for round-trip private transport for 3 adults to the "sanctuary" from the cruise terminal. In addition, there is a $30 cash only entrance fee for each adult. Now I realize these prices are absolute robbery! Driver was 20 mins late and required multiple phone calls to determine when/where to meet. (Also, he was sneezing/coughing the entire time.) After about a 20 min drive we arrived at the "sanctuary", which appears to be just someone's yard with lots of seating crammed in plus a large side deck/viewing platform. There were about 30 people sitting around, most holding hummingbird feeders. Over the course of about 30 minutes, 5-6 beautiful little hummingbirds zipped in and out, often landing on people's fingers. Not everyone had a chance to feed the hummingbirds, although I guess you could have kept sitting there for pretty much as long as you wanted, and you would eventually get a "hit". Thinking there was more to the "sanctuary", we asked to see the rest of the property and some guy walked us around for about 5 minutes pointing out different types of trees and a few other birds eating fruit/bird seed. After this, we summoned our driver and returned to the cruise terminal. Bottom line....if you feel it's worth $70 per person (more if you add tips) to have the chance of a hummingbird sit on your finger, you will love this tour. Everyone else will feel tremendously disappointed and ripped off. These prices are outrageous for the area and this experience was 1 star due only to the hummingbirds, which were admittedly beautiful. I learned my lesson the hard way so you don't have to!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We would like to clarify that the tour you described was not conducted by Extreme Jamaica Tours.

Disjointed communication about pick up. Driver link up was confusing. Poor transportation. Van smelled of pot smoking. Bird Sanctuary would not take credit card and only took cash. Disappointing venue. Not as billed. Definitely not worth the cost. Never again
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m genuinely sorry for the experience you had. I’d like to clarify a few things to help explain our process and policies. We pride ourselves on providing a clean, luxury experience with private transfers. As our service is typically private, if we don’t receive clarification that guests are traveling together, we do send separate vehicles. This could explain the disjointed communication regarding the driver link-up. We always strive for clear and efficient communication, so I regret that you found it confusing. In terms of the vehicle’s condition, this is absolutely not the experience we aim to offer, and I’m sorry that the van did not meet our usual standard. All our vehicles are regularly cleaned and maintained. I will be looking into this further to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Regarding the Bird Sanctuary, while we do mention that the area is rural and services may be limited, we will make sure to better highlight this potential issue in our pre-tour communication to avoid confusion. We do apologize for any inconvenience this caused. We always reach out to guests before tours, and I’m sorry if our attempts to connect didn’t reach you in time to address these concerns. We value your feedback, and it will be taken into consideration to help improve our service moving forward. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.
This was my favourite trip in Jamaica. The experience of feeding humming birds sitting on your finger is just out of this world.

Loved this experience. Being able to relax in the trees and feed birds was truly an experience I will never forget. Our guide was very laid back and full of knowledge. I learned so much about various plants, trees, bees, and birds.

So peaceful and relaxing , we went away feeling so chilled and relaxed. Thank you so much to the owner for letting us be part if this.

The Bird Sanctuary was an incredible experience I couldn't recommend enough, but as admission isn't covered by this package I was sceptical about the price. However, our driver Randy was a great guide and had lots of insights about the local area. He made the travel to and from the Sanctuary a great addition to a great day
