I was surprised to see some land animal in Underwater world as I expect only marine life will be seen…. Good thing is the Underwater is located near Cenang Beach and if you staying nearby then it will be very convenient to drop by for a visit!

At the entrance there is boards of information and picture where you can learn about the animals and marine life too…

Being Malaysia largest aquarium means they are capable of housing a large collection of over 4000 aquatic lives! Guess what, there is more than 100 specially designed tank being the house of more than 100 species of seashell and other sea creatures. Beside that, you will also be able to view various animals, bird and inhabitants of the sub-Antarctic, Temperate and Tropical Rainforest regions.
We first walk through a path where I can see lizards and chameleon..

If you love being surrounded by seashells, fishes, penguin and various animals then you should really visit this Underwater world!

• Large collection of over 4000 aquatic lives.
• More than 500 species of animals and sea creatures
• Various animals, birds and inhabitants of the sub-Antarctic Temperate and Tropical Rainforest regions are also on display here
• More than 100 species of seashells 

My all time favorite is watching the penguins walk left and right using their tiny petite legs…It’s too adorable…Usually, they walk for a short distance and the will stand still for a while before continuing, some will dive into the water for a quick bath!

Second highlight is this unique Mamorset… First time seeing one, they have a tiny face with whisker alike ear! Do you know marmoset is the smallest monkey found in the Amazon? When I passing by they keep running back to their cave and I could hardly take picture of their face!! So below pic was taken by Tian Chad!

Of course we see many fishes, jelly, seashells and many other sea creature exhibit in the specifically designed aquarium!

I find the jelly fish the most attractive one most like because of their stunning bright hue!
Towards the end of the showroom, we saw this weird fish that has a very long body which can swim through the holes of the sea rocks… Literally like a longggggggg snake fish!

Shall we continue our animal exploring?? What about eagle watching?

Why Eagle represent Langkawi??

“Because Langkawi is derived from the word Lang (Eagle in Malay) + Kawi (Reddish Brown in Malay) hence Langkawi.”

If you interested to watch Play which reflect Mahsuri story. This is quite a interesting play to watch because the actor skill is very good but I think the story line is a little to lengthy.

Let me give you a summary of this legend. Mahsuri a very beautiful lady at that time married to her husband who went for a war leaving her behind. Mahsuri met a young man Deraman and become his friend. Unfortunately, the village Chief’s wife is jealous of her beauty accused her for adultery and she was sentenced to stabbed to death. She was tied to a tree and stabbed to death but it didn’t work. Mahsuri told them to kill her with her family kris I which then white blood flow upon her death. With her last breath Mahsuri cursed Langkawi for having bad luck for seven generation. Langkawi was then taken over by Siam and only to recent in the 20th centuries Langkawi has gain prosper because it is said that Mahsuri generation has passed the 7th generation.
