Fabulous tour with over 37 different bird species spotted by Jien and Rama. We visited wet lands, paddy fields and jungle. We also spotted monkeys, large squirrels and butterflies. Thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon and would recommend the tour to anyone interested in birds. Jien was a master at spotting the birds and gave great information on the birds we spotted. Thankyou.
Incredible birding in Langkawi

Irshad was recommended to us by some friends in Singapore, and we were very impressed with our trip. He took us on a birdwatching tour that covered several locations in Langkawi and it was exceptional. Not only was he an experienced birder, identifying many species by call, description and quick glimpses of them, he was also incredibly personable and easy to talk to. We saw Wreathed, Oriental Pied and Great Hornbills, several species of Munia and Sunbirds, and Thick-billed Green Pigeons, amongst many other species. The whole trip was customised to fit our interests and they were incredibly attentive to our photography goals. He included lots of fascinating knowledge of plants, topography and local culture as well, which we really enjoyed as more of a holistic nature tour experience. 10/10, would highly recommend to any birders beginner-experienced (I would call us intermediate birders). Thank you so much for a wonderful time seeing Langkawi's beautiful wildlife!

Excellent bird watching tour with Jien the tour guide and ‘bad ‘our driver. Very easy to book and very good communication. Jien contacted me in advance in case we had any particular birds we wanted to see. We were collected from our hotel and brought back. Very knowledgeable and sent a list of the birds we saw on WhatsApp. Free water provided and we visited wet lands, Rainforest with very good sightings of Hornbills and briefly mangrove on the way back to our hotel. We saw 33 different varieties of birds in 4 hours! Good value for money and great tour guide and driver! Binoculars also provided if you need them.
Amazing!

We did the afternoon tour with our Masyi guide. We are beginners in bird watching and during the 4 hours of the tour we helped to find many species of birds in addition to telling us a lot of data about each of the species. We could see the three species of hornbill thanks to their patience and incredible ability to differentiate the sounds of the jungle. We definitely recommend it very much, we loved it!
Fabulous tour. Recommended!

Did a morning birdwatching tour. My guide Jien was excellent. Helpful and knowledgeable. We saw all the hornbills and a large number of kingfishers. A large range of species in a single morning
We see a lot...

You can see many birds thanks to the very competent guide who spots them from afar, but this excursion is mainly for bird enthusiasts. For non-connoisseurs (that I am), it is too long and we spend a lot of time looking at binoculars. Nevertheless, I enjoyed seeing Martin fishermen and calaos.
Superb guide driver and birding!

Just had a fantastic 4 hour tour with Jien and Din . Everything was professional well organised and excellent communication from whatsapp giving me meeting details to a list of all birds we saw. We asked for herons, kingfisher and hornbill. We saw every heron possible, 2 of the 3 hornbills, heard the 3rd but he would not show himself and the brown winged kingfisher we were seeking. In total 4 hours and 40 birds in 3 different habitats. The van used is premium quality...huge windows when birding from the vehicle. Do not hesitate to book this company... they are the v best in Langkawi!
