Underwater World Langkawi, Public aquarium in Pantai Cenang, Malaysia
Underwater World Langkawi is a public aquarium housing thousands of marine animals from different species and regions around the globe. The facility spans multiple areas where visitors can observe fish, corals, sea turtles, and other aquatic life forms in various tank environments.
The aquarium opened in 1995 as part of Malaysia's effort to develop educational tourism on Langkawi Island. It became one of the first major attractions drawing visitors interested in learning about marine life in the region.
The facility displays marine creatures from Malaysian waters and around the globe while teaching visitors about ocean protection. These exhibits connect entertainment with learning about why healthy seas matter.
The facility welcomes visitors on most days, though opening hours differ between weekdays and weekends. Regular feeding sessions for certain animals are advertised at the entrance and information points throughout the location.
A striking feature is an underwater glass tunnel where visitors walk while sharks swim overhead. This passage offers an unusual perspective on these predators from close range in their habitat.
