Langkawi Birdwatching Tour - Morning session
Langkawi is home to around 267 bird species, with roughly one-third being migratory visitors that winter here between November and April. Outside these months, visitors can still enjoy sightings of the island’s rich variety of resident birds. The best times for birdwatching in the tropics are early morning and late afternoon, when bird activity peaks.
This half-day birdwatching tour is designed for both serious birders and casual enthusiasts and is divided into two sessions; you’re welcome to join both or select the one that interests you most.
The first session takes you through open rainforest corridors, ideal for spotting forest species like Flowerpeckers, Hill Mynas, Dollarbirds, Racket-tailed Drongos, Woodpeckers, Oriental Pied Hornbills, Great Hornbills, and with a bit of luck, the Mountain Hawk-Eagle.
Next, we head to the mangroves, where we’ll look for Brown-winged, Collared, and Black-capped Kingfishers, as well as White-bellied Sea Eagles, Brahminy Kites, Common Sandpipers, and Little Herons.
Our final stop is at the paddy fields, where we’ll search for water and farmland birds such as Red-wattled Lapwings, Pond Herons, Egrets, Bitterns, White-throated Kingfishers, and Purple Swamphens.
- Among the birds, we may see are Flower Peckers, Hill Mynas, Dollarbirds, Green Pigeons, Drongos, Tailorbirds, Babblers, Bulbuls, Sunbirds, Eagles, Woodpeckers, and Oriental-pied Hornbills.
