The facility houses a dedicated 'Penguinarium' specifically designed to simulate the cold environment of the Southern Hemisphere.
The main tank holds over 500,000 liters of saltwater, requiring a specialized life-support system to maintain oceanic conditions.
The aquarium's Tropical Rainforest section includes a walk-through aviary housing several species of exotic birds.
The glass tunnel is built from specialized acrylic panels designed to withstand the pressure of the large-scale oceanarium tank.
The aquarium focuses on both marine and freshwater species, bridging the gap between coastal and inland aquatic ecosystems.
Underwater World Langkawi is one of the largest marine and freshwater aquaria in Southeast Asia, housing over 200 different species of sea creatures. The facility is segmented into three primary zones: the Sub-Antarctic Section, the Temperate Section, and the Tropical Rainforest Section. A primary feature is the 15-meter glass walk-through tunnel that passes through the main oceanarium, allowing visitors to observe sharks, giant stingrays, and green sea turtles. The Sub-Antarctic area contains a 'Penguinarium' that features an underwater viewing area for rockhopper and African penguins. A dedicated 3D theater hosts educational screenings focused on marine ecosystems. The aquarium spans over 60,000 square feet of floor space. It integrates a tropical rainforest environment to showcase freshwater fish species from the Amazon and local rivers.

Visit during the scheduled feeding times to see the penguins and sharks at their most active.
Check the 3D theater schedule immediately upon entry to plan your route around the show times.
Carry a light jacket if you are sensitive to cold, as the Sub-Antarctic zone is kept at low temperatures.
Avoid arriving during peak school holiday periods if you prefer a quieter experience.
Maintain a quiet volume near the tanks to avoid distressing the animals; do not use camera flash near the exhibits.
