About this experience
Take a 30-45-minute drive through the city of Montego Bay and into the mountain for a 1-hour guided tour to feed the Hummingbirds. Your tour guide will meet you at the entrance of the property, have you seated under a gazebo with a small bottle with sugary liquid, instruct you how to place your finger with the bottle above for the birds to sit and drink from the bottle.
Feel the thrill as the Hummingbirds tiny claws grip your finger when they stop at you for a drink. Be amazed at the speed at which their tiny wings flatters and the speed at which they flew past you. See other species birds feeding on the ground and in trees as your guide tells you their names and other information on them and the property. The guide will take you on a short walk of the property to see other birds, plants, herbs, flowers and a panoramic view of the city of Montego Bay from up high.
Entrance fee is included. There is an optional 1-hour shopping tour on Montego Bay's Hip Strip for duty-free shopping.
