Meet Our Expert Bird Guides

At Taiwan Bird Guide, our experienced local guides deliver exceptional birdwatching tours tailored to both seasoned birders and curious beginners. With a strong commitment to conservation and education, we strive to create meaningful and memorable experiences in the field.

All of our guides are passionate local birders with over a decade of birding experience. We maintain close relationships with Taiwan’s birding and conservation communities, and know many hidden gems beyond the well-known birding hotspots. We’re skilled in identifying birds not only by sight but also by sound, and have extensive experience with migratory shorebirds.

During every tour, we actively use eBird to document sightings, and we partner with a licensed tour operator Wildman International Travels and Tours in Taiwan to ensure that all trips comply with legal and safety regulations.
