What to Expect

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.


The Underwater World Langkawi comprises of three main sections such as:


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!


Temperate 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-Antarctic Section


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!


Other sections and features include:


Preview Tank


The Arapaima, a Jurassic fish, also the largest freshwater fish in the world and can grow to more than eight feet, welcomes you. You will find yourself gawking at its size and realise how small you are. The Wallago Catfish (Ikan Tapah) and Freshwater Stingray are other fishes on display in the Preview Tank. The Wallago Catfish, also known as Freshwater Shark or Helicopter Catfish, has the face of bullhead and an eel-like body.


This wild fish is just as giant, and though they seem to be relaxing on the surface, this fish tends to bite the hand that feeds it. Certainly not for the faint-hearted. Meanwhile, the Freshwater Stingrays, beautiful creatures though little bizarre looking too, are oddly adorable. Perhaps you will notice that some move like a wave, others like a bird.


River Ecosystem


This section consists of three connecting tanks with a river flowing concept and displays many freshwater fishes from Southeast Asia, the Amazon, Africa, North America, and Australia. Here a variety of Southeast Asian river fishes like the Striped Carps, Tinfoil Barbs, Arowanas and Giant Gourami will have you amazed. Indigenous to South America, expect to see the Knifefish whose tail resembles a knife and the Pacu Fish.


Although known as a “vegetarian piranha”, the Pacu Fish don’t share much in common with their fearsome kin. They munch on a banana instead of a human, and they are rather laid-back in temperament. Some have even been known to nuzzle against their owner like a dog! Other fishes on display are Tropical Garfish, Albino Patin, Bala Shark, and Red-Tailed Catfish. Within this section, a series of specially designed tanks housing unique reptiles such as Leopard Gecko, Chinese Water Dragon, Indonesian Blue Tongued Skink, African Fat-Tailed Gecko, and various small snakes are here for your reptilian interest.


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 and Otter 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.


Invertebrate Section


The oddities of the sea! The unusual and peculiar sea creatures from Southeast Asia lie, such as the Japanese Mitten Lobster and the Knight Goby. The Snowflake Moray Eel, Blue Devil Damsels, Green Carpet Anemone Mudskippers and many other exciting species.


Coral Reef Section


This underwater coral garden captivates you with its delightful explosive colours. Clown Fish, Damsels, Wrasse, and other corals will provide you with a glimpse of the symbiotic relationship amongst the coral reefs’ inhabitants. Witness the living treasures of the ocean’s delicate ecosystem, all under one roof. The delicate jellyfish, sea urchins, sea slugs and starfishes are among the many presented at the Underwater World Langkawi.


Venomous & Poisonous Section


The saying “Never judge a book by its cover” holds for this Venomous and Poisonous Section with its eels and fishes. Although seemingly calm and inviting, these Moray Eels and Lionfish have deadly weapons disguised as their needle-sharp teeth and spiny fins. So, brace yourself!


While each tourist attraction brings its charm and adventures, along with the different creatures you will find worldwide, that doesn’t mean that each visit will get the same experience. Each visit is unique. Each time you’ll see notice something you never did previously, and Underwater World Langkawi provides that fresh “under the sea” journey just for you!
