Great birding trip in Langkawi! - We had Jien and driver 'Bad' as our guides and they were great! We saw all 3 hornbill species and got great photos! They asked us beforehand which birds we hoped to see and had already seen during our trip to Malaysia. They really made the effort to make our trip worth while. We also received a checklist which they filled in during the trip. We saw 3 different areas and had a wonderful time!

Wonderful Birding Experience - We had a wonderful experience birding with Jien from JungleWalla who helped identify many species of birds, together with Bad, who drove us in the comfort of their vehicle whether going up Gunung Raya or under the hot sun in the wetlands. It was thrilling to run after the calls of the great hornbill (gok gok gok) and to catch a glimpse of it in flight. We also spotted dusky leaf monkeys and giant squirrels in their natural habitats. We had fun chatting with Jien about our birding experience en route to the birding locations. Overall an amazing experience with the knowledgeable and friendly guides. Thank you both!

Great Birding in Langkawi Malaysia! - Our birding guide, Jien Din , was wonderful as was our driver who also spotted many birds. He asked in advance which birds we wanted to see and did everything possible to make sure we saw them.

Super half day birdwatching experience - We went on a half day bird watching tour, with guide Masyi. Prior to boarding we were asked what was our target bird, "Love to see any hornbill if possible" Masyi delivered, we saw all three species of Hornbills, they took us to the right place up in the jungle, and great sightings, also nice for this tourist, to see the Dusky Langur, including orange youngster, still clinging to mum. After visiting the rainforest we went to a lowland area near the airport to spot water birds, that delivered as well, with heron's, brahminy kites, cuckoo, pranticole, kingfisher etc. We recorded 24 species. The trip was low effort, with short walks from the car, which was also welcome in the heat, and very effective.

Interesting experience - We would have a nice and unexcited tour where we could observe eagles and large rhino birds, among other things. We also received a lot of exciting information about the local wildlife.

Kingfishering in Langkawi - As a life-long bird liker but quite recent birding hobbyist, this tour was exactly what we were looking for. We really wanted to see some kingfishers and ended up seeing three different species of them. On top of the kingfishers, we saw tens of different birds. Afie as a guide was absolutely lovely and knowledgeable. If we ever come back to Langkawi we will definitely do some more JungleWalla tours (and hopefully with Afie as our guide).
