This was recommended to us by John Wayne (Randy) of VIP Tours. He is the guy to take for all of your trips if you are based in Negril. He will make you laugh and tell you all about Jamaica. You will feel like he is your personal friend in a short time. Now Rockland is real special. You don't... More

This really is off the beaten path, but we had a blast. Getting there can be a little rough, so get someone who has been there before. The road is in bad shape for the last half mile or so. Expect it to be a slow go. When we got there, we were amazed about all the birds around. We... More

Amazing!!! The drive to this sanctuary is worth it!!! The 70 acres of lush greenery is a birds paradise. To sit and feed a humming bird that sits on your fingers is just magical. You don't want to leave. It is addictive just watching all the birds and waiting for another humming bird to land on your finger. Fritz, the... More

The gardens here are beautiful and the guides are very friendly. I learned a lot about the local flora and fauna. Baby goats to see. You must be patient, but several varieties of hummingbirds will land on your finger to drink nectar from a little bottle. Great photo op!

To sit quietly on a lovely veranda at a beautiful stone cottage is heaven. To wait for the hummingbirds and doctor birds to rest on your finger is heaven. To wander the gardens is heaven. To enjoy the quiet is heaven. I hope everyone who reads this review gets to enjoy this heavenly place. This is our third trip to... More

We found this sanctuary after searching for things to do in Jamaica on Tripadvisor. We were based in Ocho Rios and rented a driver for the day, it took about 90 minutes to get here, but as the others have said the road is terrible for the last kilometer, I wouldn't like to drive myself. The sanctuary is just a... More

This was a great half day adventure. We had an informative ride up with our tour guide Ken from Doctor Bird Tours. The bird sanctuary was well worth the money as you got to feed humming birds and see all the other birds in the area. The humming birds would land on your finger and feed from a bottle of... More

We went to Rockland Feeding Station on the way to the airport on our last day. It's only six miles from Montego Bay but the last mile might best be walked. Describing the road as bumpy is like saying a hurricane is a bit breezy. It's worth it, however, as once there you are treated to a once-in-a-lifetime chance to... More

If you like nature and want a great side trip, go here. History or original owner is interesting and nice that this place continues to operate.

Our second trip here in 7 years. Still a wondefful experience and always a memoriable and unique experience. My granddaughter loved it at age 5, and again at age 12. Very relaxing setting with remarkably tame and beautiful hummingbirds. Well worth the trip up from the coast.
