The underwater World Langkawi, a marine showcase featuring both fresh and seawater fish and marine life, is the latest attraction in the legendary island Langkawi.

Located at the popular beach of Pantai Cenang, this newest draw card features more than 100 tanks of different sizes.

The highlights is a giant tank housing large species such as sharks, stingrays, groupers and green turtles, with 15-metre tunnel for visitors to walk through and have a spectacular view of the exhibits.

Underwater gardens of weeds and sea plants together with exotic fishes and exhibits of fossils and shells add to the range of interesting sights to look for.

Housed within the complex are a fast food outlet, a duty free shopping arcade and a shop-selling dried seafood such as shark fins, birds nest, scallops and oysters.
