Sobre esta atividade

Langkawi’s World Geopark status has put this 99-island large archipelago on the map as an all-inclusive tourism destination, ideal for both beach seekers and those who enjoy nature and the abundance of wildlife present. The extensive jungle landscape, entwined with rice paddy fields and rivers that meander through the ancient rainforest have become the new hotspot for ornithologist – avid birders have now recorded close to 230 species, some of them indigenous to Langkawi. Under the guidance with an experienced birder cum guide, an early morning exploration of watching colourful birds near Gunung Raya will be a colourful feast for the eyes.

An early morning wake-up call is a requirement to get the most of this educational morning of bird exploration. Together with your local birding expert and driver, you will set off from your Langkawi resort to the Gunung Raya, the highest mountain. Along the way, plenty of natural corners, streams and open areas where bird tend to nest and find food pass by but with a clear goal in mind, our aim will be spotting some of the mountain birds. With your binoculars in your hand, your guide will lead the way in finding some spots where the biggest chances are to spot species such as the Great Hornbill in their natural habitat. Armed with your list of confirmed birds spotted on Langkawi, you will head to various spots around the mountains where customers, in average, spot up to 40 species in the 5 hours touring.

This tour is not limited to certain seasons: the constant flow of birds coming from all wind directions makes this a very interesting tour year-around. Many migratory birds head to the island between November until April when the temperatures are the most ideal for escaping the cooler climates. But with a permanent base of feathered friends even outside these months, we can assure that Langkawi has grown in popularity throughout the year for bird watching. During the morning, there will be time to enjoy coffee, tea and water. Just before lunch time, we will make our way back to the car and back to your resort.
