About this tour

Cockpit Country is one of Jamaica's most distinctive birding landscapes: a rugged limestone interior with forested hills, caves, underground rivers and strong cultural connections to Maroon communities. Arrowhead's one-day tour is built for birders and nature travelers who want a focused day in this biodiverse region.

The route is usually best started from the north coast, where access is more practical. Birding is a mix of scenic driving, forest edge work and trail walking with Ricardo Miller as guide/driver. Key possibilities include Jamaican Tody, Streamertail hummingbirds, Jamaican Woodpecker, parrots and other Jamaican endemics and island specialties.

Ricardo quoted Cockpit Country day tours as starting at USD 420 for 1 or 2 persons. Arrowhead can discuss pickups from other parts of Jamaica, but longer transfers may increase the cost and complexity.
