Located in the hills of the community of Anchovy, the Rockland Bird Sanctuary offers inner peace and tranquility as you get up close and personal with Jamaica’s national bird the Humming Bird, locally called the Doctor Bird. There is an optional add-on to the tour which includes a visit to Montego Bay’s “Hip-Strip” for duty-free and craft shopping.
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.
There is an optional portion of the tour where after the tour of Rockland Bird Sanctuary you will be taken to “Hip-Strip” in Montego Bay for some duty-free and craft shopping before being returned to your Montego Bay hotel or cruise ship port.
