The Underwater World Langkawi (UWL) is located in Pantai Cenang, Langkawi. Its found exactly toward the end of Pantai Cenang Road on the right hand side. Its not hard to miss it. Parking is plentiful, but it was full. Reason being we were there during the Malaysian School Holidays. What’s more, the complex is air-conditioned. An extraordinary spot to get away from the afternoon Langkawi sun.
The aquarium around 6 acres of land and have various types of marine life including Seals, Penguins, Sharks. We went there to see the penguins, which were the star attraction there. You stroll in a little forest walkways with beautiful flamingos and cute marmosets.
Other attractions in this aquarium include the Freshwater Fish Section, the Seashell Display, the Koi Pond, the Reptilian Section, Invertebrate Section, and the Poisonous & Venomous Section. Love to see the gracefullness of the sharks and stingray moving around. My eldest had a chance to have a picture opportunity with a large pyton on him.
My Verdict
The UWL is a bit smaller than expected if you compare it with the Aquaria KLCC. But its a educational nice place to be, to get out of the sun. The whole place is air conditioned. When we were they, they seem to be doing some renovations. Their exhibits are very nice with great information. And at the end however there is a long line of gift shops and duty free shops with a great variety of goods. Parking is ample and there is some fast food chains nearby.
