Bird guides for day trips Jamaica (1 Viewer)

[Mike Beer]

Hello we are travelling to Jamaica in February and March staying in the Montego Bay and Negril area. Does anyone have information on local guides for day trips in these areas. Regards. Mike

Not sure if he guides but Fritz and his colleague at Rocklands were pretty knowledgeable and it isn't far from Montego Bay, worth spending a half day there.
I attach a trip report from a few years ago which might also help with some birding spots.

I can't help with guides but Jamaica is very easy independently. I recommend going to Stewart Town by car or taxi and birding the track there.

Sorry, Mike. Just saw this & if you're still in Jamaica...
We went with out with some great guides on a port day with our cruise. They were very nice, knew the endemic birds, etal, & where to find them!

Hello from Negril, Jamaica. Yes we are still in Jamaica I did find it difficult to arrange a personal guide for the day until I found Raj Tours which I did use. Excellent company which I would also recommend. Thanks for replying. Mike.
