Underwater World Langkawi

This is the first tank that you will find in the exhibits of Langkawi Aquarium. Here you will find Tapah Fish, freshwater stingrays and Arapaima, also known as Jurassic Fish, which is the largest freshwater fish of the world. You’ll be surprised to know that these fishes caan grow over 8 feet in length and can be easily observed and studied in this aquarium.

This is an artificially made system of 3 interconnected tanks that are based on the concept of flowing river connection. This tank, like the preview tank, displays many freshwater species of fishes from all around the world, ranging from Amazon to Africa and from North America to South east Asia and Australia.

This is an aviary of sorts and is built in a walk through fashion so that the visitors can easily have the fun of experiencing the ecosystem of the tropical rainforest themselves. Here you will find playfully elegant flamingoes, Ruddy Shelduck and Pheasant. There are a number of tropical birds such as Doves, cockatoo and Macaws.

Here you will find the playfully dancing fur seals and African penguins. This is a 8 meter long tunnel that will enable you to see these majestic swimmers in full action.

Awaiting the visitors here are the famous Rockhopper Penguins which are the star of the show. They have this peculiar behavior of hopping from rock to rock and are the smallest species of the crested penguins.

This tank is ducked out akin to a waste shipwreck and has various marine fishes to look at. Here, you can see the Lords of the sea and Sharks one to one and is perhaps the only place where you can be at ease even when knowing that a shark is pointing its fin towards you.

The walkthrough tunnel tank is an absolute delight to look at. The feeling of being underwater while watching the marine life slide by you quietly is worth every penny that you spend here on Underwater World Langkawi Tickets. Here, you can have the first hand experience of many species that come hovering over you and then later watch them in their originally designed artificial habitats.

Accentuated by the sound of cascading waterfall and set in vibrant outdoor lush tropical scenery is this koi pond which houses the famous Japanese carps along with cichlids and sultan fish.

This section houses the invertebrates from Southeast Asia such as knight goby, devil damsels, mudskippers, japanese mitten lobsters etc.

This might be the most colorful section of the Underwater World Langkawi. This is the live example of the living treasure of the marine ecosystem and presents a symbiotic relationship between the corals andmany marine fishes such as the clown fish, wrasse and damsels.

As the name suggests, this section is home to various venomous species like snakes and moray eels that can prove to be deadly when played with.

If you like the idea of trails of white sands carpeted right under your feet, then Pantai Cenang beach is just the right place for you. This stretch of 2km long white sandy beach located on the shoreline of Langkawi island will definitely leave a lingering memory in your heart.

This is one of the most loved places of this island so if you are planning a tour here, then this family friendly beach is the right choice for you to spend some quality time after your tour to the Langkawi aquarium.

The serenity of cyan coloured water sprawling till the horizon combined with the thrill of watersports and pepped up by the solace of being separated from the crowd- this is the visual imagery of Tengah Beach.

It is an escape for those who absolutely love the sandy beaches but are not so in love with the crowd that entails those beaches. This beach has as many options for resorts and water activities as the Pantai Cenang Beach minus the hullabaloo of the crowd. There are various restaurants to relish on multiple cuisines from all around the world too.

In your next island hopping destination when you visit the Langkawi Aquarium, keep Beras Basah Island as part of a retro-feel touring option where you get to enjoy all the options of the Cenang beach without the urbanized options of many restaurants and resorts.

This island stands as the untouched, raw beach with sugary white sand stretches which will take you on a time travel journey of sorts. You can enjoy serene views while relaxing at the beach or try going snorkeling too.

Do you like the idea of fishermen going fishing in their humble boats and would like to experience the laid back lifestyle of a remote uninhabited island? Then Pulau Tuba is the place to go. It is the only other uninhabited island of Malaysia other than Langkawi so you will have very limited options for refreshments and stay.

This literally means Field of Burnt Rice and although this place has no special sightseeing opportunities, it has that deep hint of history hanging in the air all over the place. This place is the testimony of treachery and loyalty- a treachery which led to the curse of Mahsuri, a sweet maiden lady who was falsely accused by her own mother in law of committing adultery.

She cursed the island to suffer 7 generations of acute misfortune as a result of which, the folklore says, the Siamese attacked and grabbed a foothold of Langkawi and this incident of burning the paddy harvest took place which was meant to prevent them from gaining full control of the island.
