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.

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.

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!
