Underwater World Langkawi

Underwater World Langkawi is home to over 200 marine and freshwater fishes worldwide, ranging from rockhopper penguins, giant rays, harbour seals, and sharks.

Marvel at the majestic Arapaima that can be seen in a big tank in front of the entrance door before proceeding to be awed by Orange Spotted Stingrays, Red-tailed Catfishes, Perch Jungle Carps, Bala Sharks and Silver Dollar Fishes. Other notable attractions within the Underwater World Langkawi include a Three-Dimensional (3D) Theatre, an Educational Resource Centre and a Cafeteria.

Tropical Rainforest Section

Here your eyes will be drawn to an array of tropical and exotic birds, animals and fishes. The ground and flight birds, the Flamingos, Black Swans, Mandarin Ducks, Golden Pheasants, Parakeets, Doves, Macaws, Laughing Thrush and more makes the entire atmosphere an absolute wonder for the eyes. Regularly, just a folk of friendly and curious birds living the good life.

Then look upon the Snapping Turtles as they come out of their shells and move about calmly and peacefully. Looking at them, you might think of them as some ancient creature from the Triassic Period. And though calm in nature, these turtles tend to snap or strike defensively when they feel unsafe. They are indeed capable of delivering a severe bite so keep your hands to yourself on this one!

Tempered Section

The playhouse that features the jolly South American Fur Seal and Black-Footed African Penguins! A couple of adult fur seals here put on great shows in a large glass water tank. You will need to time it right for the show and not miss out on its daily feeding session.

Also, African Penguins! These fuzzy beings are so adorable and fluffy. They will melt your heart. A walk through an 8-meter tunnel in the Underwater World Langkawi will have you gapping at the African Penguins swimming around in an environment as close as possible to their natural habitat, making the experience even more stunning. The area feels pleasantly merry! No wonder the children love this section.

Sub Antartic World

If you are familiar with the movie “Surf’s Up”, here the Rockhopper Penguins await you. These penguins, also nicknamed “rockies”, are the smallest of the crested penguins. As their name hints, their frisky behaviour makes them jump from rock to rock. Fun fact for you, these Rockhopper Penguins often burst from the water near shore and land on stones with a belly flop! They are the highlights of the Underwater World Langkawi!

5 Hexagonal Tank

This section is made up of the Hexagonal Tank with a Sunken Ship theme. Among the fishes in the Hexagonal Tank are the Black Tip Shark and White Tip Shark. That way, you do not have to go scuba diving to encounter these creatures. Experience the marine life you have never witnessed with your own eyes before! Being able to take part in this world, to see these sharks in their natural habitat, is undoubtedly an adventure you will never forget.

Tunnel Tank

Step into a world of ocean secrets and venture into the deep sea along a 15-meter long tunnel, where you will find yourself in awe by the surrounding of Giant Stingrays, Giant Trevallies, Giant Groupers, Olive Ridley Turtles and other schooling fishes. A single acrylic panel is all that separates you from an entirely different world. Here, you are bound to be mesmerised by the oceanic wonderment and relax while watching its enthralling sight.

Koi Pond & Otters Pond

Set in an outdoor lush, the Koi Pond enchants you with vibrant tropical scenery with the relaxing sounds of the cascading waterfall. An exciting activity for you here is fish-feeding. You can get handsy and see the fishes frenzy around you for food. Then whip out your camera and record the cute and cuddly otters at the Otter Pond. These clever creatures will use rocks to crack open the clams. They carry stones and store food in the loose skin under their armpits. Who needs carrier bags! Fishes such as the Eastern Gem, Japanese Carp, Sultan Fish Silver Dollar, Sebarau, Kelah and Cichlids can be seen here.
