Discover Jamaica

Jamaica is an ideal entry point to discovering the flora and fauna of Tropical America. As a Caribbean island, it has its own special flavour, punctuated by many endemic species found nowhere else. In fact, its 28 endemic bird species are the most of any island in the West Indies.

A big reason for Jamaica’s ecological richness is the multitude of habitats born from an impressive mix of altitude, topography and climatic influences. We have specially designed this tour to include a broad range of Jamaica’s most unique habitats, including lowland rainforest, wooded foothills, moist cloud forest, dry lowland forest, arid scrub, coastal mangrove lagoons, and freshwater wetlands. Covering such diverse terrain means we will develop a keen sense of the Jamaica’s natural history as a whole, while giving ourselves great opportunities to observe its signature species.

The colourful Jamaican Tody, Black-billed and Yellow-billed Parrots, Jamaican Woodpecker, Arrow-headed Warbler and Jamaican Oriole are some of the island’s 28 endemic birds that we’ll pursue. Expect also to encounter many North American breeding songbirds, including numerous of the familiar wood-warblers that migrate through and (for many species) breed in Ontario. Endemic plants such as the Thatch Palm and various reptiles and frogs are also part of the cast of tropical flora and fauna.

Accompanying this tour is Ann Haynes-Sutton – Jamaica’s foremost naturalist and leading ecologist and conservationist. Join us for this special small-group tour that promises an intimate and eye-opening view of this Caribbean gem!
