Det finns ett antal organiserade turer som erbjuder transport tur och retur till Rocklands Bird Sanctuary från Montego Bay. Om du kör själv tar du huvudvägen västerut ur staden mot Lucea och Negril tills du når staden Reading. Följ skyltarna till helgedomen härifrån längs vägen som leder inåt landet.
The sanctuary is in St. James Parish on the north side of the island. From Montego Bay, it’s about a half-hour drive; from Negril, the drive is about 1.5 hours, and one hour from Falmouth. You can arrange taxi rides at your hotel, or join a tour that includes round-trip transport.
The sanctuary has a lovely history. When the original owner Lisa Salmon moved to this remote area in the 1990s, she took long walks through the forested hills, falling in love with the exotic birds and occasionally feeding them on her way. After about five years, her feathered friends started following her home. As the story goes, the day she died, the birds left, and on her burial day in 2000, they miraculously returned to stay to this day.
