A giant leap away from the corporate world was a milestone for me to venture into the world of outdoor education and appreciating the creation of Mother Nature. On my career break, I took a six-month holiday travelling in the North and South Islands of New Zealand where I went tramping on the hills, watching wildlife, doing seasonal jobs and working on a farm. Eventually, that career break had led me to this beautiful island of Langkawi. An irresistible opportunity knocked onto my door as I embarked on my brand new discoveries in the field of outdoor education where I was an outdoor trainer facilitating the youth on courses related to personal development, nature and environment. From there, I pursued fully into nature guiding career beginning with the Four Seasons Resort Langkawi before establishing as an independent freelance guide. With only 478 square kilometre, Langkawi Island is gifted with natural wonders of geological features, biodiversity and as well as cultural heritage that has made her the first UNESCO Global Geopark in South-East Asia. I open the eyes of my listeners by guiding them into the details of the natural wonders. My speciality lies in birdwatching, nature interpretive tours whether it is kayaking or on a relaxing boat cruise. My personal belief on the initial step in preserving our natural heritage is through discovering nature and understanding the complexity in the web of life that interconnects all living creatures. On my own free time, I would explore some parts of Langkawi and photograph the surrounding flora and fauna. With the images through my camera lens, I will study and blog about the subject and at the same time, I can promote Langkawi's nature.

    Wendy was amazing, her knowledge and energy were infectious, watching her look for wildlife on this tour was amazing, highlighted by calling birds and finding a fiddler crab and watching it hide itself!! As a small group we were able to take shortcuts that larger groups could not, and having a tour guide that knew the best boat drivers was great!! use Wendy if you go...

    What a wonderful birding field trip with our exceptional guide Wendy Chin. Despite getting a late start due to our cruise ship docking time, Wendy was still able to find an impressive number of birds for us. We suspect she has boundless energy, but she generously geared the pace of the field trip to our energy level, and we appreciate that. One of the great aspects of...

    Dear Peggy and Clay, Thankfully the birds showed up despite the late start from the cruise that we had missed the birding prime time. I am glad we had fantastic views of our Great Hornbills feeding on the fruiting tree. Brown-Winged Kingfisher revealed itself by diving out in the nick of time before it disappeared into the trees. Thank you for appreciating our birds of...

    Wendy was an excellent guide in every measure. She has fantastic English, great communication and organisation, was very helpful in designing the tour we wanted and was super patient with our slow moving group.

    Dear Hannah, Thank you for your kind words and review. I’m really happy that all worked out well. I have my team members (the boat and van drivers) to thank for a successful day tour. All of you were easy going and fabulous in exploring our local food and culture. I like to wish all you the best for the new year and I look forward to seeing all of you again on your next...

    We both really enjoyed our tours with Wendy, who is very knowledgeable, friendly and patient ! The mangrove tour was so much more instructive than what we may have experienced with a group tour as Wendy and her boat driver were so responsive to our questions and knew the area intimately, finding wildlife usually missed. We came away with a deep appreciation of the area....

Thank you so much for your your patience and effort and going through the booking process. I appreciate your time in writing this kind review and choosing me to guide both of you on your nature...
