About this experience
The island of Langkawi boasts a diverse range of ecosystems that have attracted approximately 267 bird species to its shores. Nearly one-third of these avian inhabitants are migratory birds, captivated by the island's lowland broadleaf rainforests, mangroves, reed beds, rice paddies, orchards, scrublands, and mudflats. Migrant birds grace the island with their presence from November to April as they seek refuge during the winter months, while resident birds can be observed throughout the year.
