Langkawi, officially known as Langkawi, the Jewel of Kedah (Malay: Langkawi Permata Kedah), is a district and an archipelago of 99 islands (+ 5 small islands visible only at low tide) in the Andaman Sea some 30 km off the mainland ,coast of northwestern  Malaysia

Spread across nearly six acres, Underwater World Langkawi is one of the island’s best-known attractions. Located at the southern end of Pantai Cenang (almost at the border of Pantai Tengah), beside the Zon duty-free shopping centre, it is Malaysia’s largest aquarium. The huge white-washed structure houses more than 200 different species of marine and freshwater fish including harbour seals, rockhopper penguins, sharks, giant rays and the enormous Amazonian arapaima – the biggest freshwater fish in the world. Once you enter the air-conditioned interior, Araipamas (the world's largest freshwater fish) can be seen in a medium-sized tank in front of the entrance door. The complex is divided into three sections: Tropical Rainforest, Temperate and Sub-Antarctic. The Sub-Antarctic was probably the most popular section – the ‘penguin-arium’ houses cute little rockhopper and black-footed penguins that cause quite a few people to crowd around the exhibit to get a good look. Other highlights of the tourist-friendly Underwater World include an Educational Resource Centre, a cafeteria and a three-dimensional (3D) theatre – be sure to watch the short movie about Michael, a little prehistoric fish and his life before becoming a fossil. Lastly there’s a giant walk-through six million litre underwater tunnel tank which houses an extensive number of fish including sharks, giant stingrays and green turtles.

Panorama Langkawi Sdn. Bhd. (PLSB) which was registered on the 28th of September 2002, was previously known as Famous Venue Sdn.Bhd.,a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (SPNB). On the 29th of March 2003, the name was officially changed to Panorama Langkawi Sdn. Bhd. and effective from the 6th of January 2003, PLSB has taken over the operation of the cable car system from the former operator known as Langkawi Cable Car Sdn. Bhd. (LCCSB).

 On 1st August 2012, the Langkawi Development Authority also known as LADA has bought over the management of Cable Car from SPNB through its subsidiary known as LADA Eco-Tourism Sdn Bhd (LETSB)

 The Langkawi cable car system currently known as Langkawi SkyCab has received numerous world-class recognitions and awards after it has been managed by PLSB such as The Outstanding Tourism Product in Langkawi Tourism Industry Awards 2010/2011, The Malaysia Book of Records for having the Longest Free Span Mono-Cable Car and the First Stand Alone 360°Panorama Screen Dome Theatre as well as the Cerficate of Excellence by TripAdvisor in 2014 and 2015.

 PLSB, which has now developed and introduced diversified entertaining products other than the distinguished Langkawi SkyCab, is ready to give all the visitors the most memorable experiences and enjoying moments.

“Langkawi Wildlife Park” as we are known is managed by Wildlife Planet Sdn Bhd and located at Lot 1485, Jalan Ayer Hangat, Kampung Belanga Pecah, 07000 Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia.We opened to the public with the park named as “Langkawi Bird Paradise” on 30th November 2002. It was officially launched by the Chief Minister Of Kedah, Y.A.B. Dato Seri Razak Zain on 24th December 2002. On 1st January 2006 and in line with the new range of wildlife exhibits, we changed the name to “Langkawi Wildlife Park”.Beautiful birds greet you as you stroll through tropical gardens. Walk through our large enclosed bird rooms where the larger species have room to stretch their wings and fly and enjoy our park’s concept that provides the following:

• Visitors can have close interaction with animals through fun feeding session

• Customer-friendly service that includes ‘In House Guide° service

• A variety of species are exhibited including birds, mammals, reptiles, fishes, and orchids

• A more enjoyable experience for visitors with many interesting activities organized

The ripple of excitement you’re supposed to feel when you step onto the Pantai Cenang strip may not come. After all, even though these shores are purportedly the most stimulating stratum of Langkawi, that’s still not saying much. Pantai Cenang doesn’t have many sightseeing attractions; the Langkawi Underwater World dominates the scene with its mammoth structure – but kids are most assuredly entertained here. Pantai Cenang’s beach is itself a popular attraction due to its beautiful sandy shores which face the crystalline waters and expansive horizon.

The Temurun waterfalls are conveniently located in the Mat Cincang Nature Park of Datai, offering the ‘hot’ visitor refreshing waters from the mountains. The waters cascade down a 30 m drop, forming a nice pool below which you can swim in. This is indeed a spectacular waterfall to visit, but only when it isn’t the dry season as the waterfall will flow to a trickle during this period.

Also known as Eagle Square, Dataran Lang is one of Langkawi’s best known manmade attractions, a large sculpture of an eagle poised to take flight. A sight that greets visitors to the island via ferry, the 12 metre-tall statue is one of the island’s most instantly recognizable monuments. Located at the southeast corner of Pulau Langkawi, besides offering beautiful views of Kuah Bay, Dataran Lang has beautiful miniature fountains, terraces and bridges, making it the ideal place for those postcard-perfect holiday photos. The square is a good place to watch ferries ply across the harbour but plan a trip here early in the morning or late in the evening when the sun is at its least intense.

Island-hopping in Langkawi is arguably the most popular activity on the islands and no surprise as it offers visitors an opportunity to explore some of Langkawi’s stunning islets. Priced from RM80 upwards, tours are available all year long (weather permitting) and typically last for about four hours, starting with a hotel pickup at 09:00. Boats depart from Teluk Baru Jetty, which is located at the southern part of Pantai Tengah. If your hotel is located in Pantai Cenang or Pantai Tengah, it’s very likely that you’ll be the last to board the van to the jetty. 

As you’ll be outdoors throughout the entire island-hopping tour in Langkawi, it’s important to keep yourself hydrated. While water is provided by many tour operators, we highly recommend bringing your own beverages, bottled water, and snacks to be on the safe side. Some islands have retail outlets selling refreshments, but prices are normally much higher than on the main island.
 
Make sure you carry sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat to protect yourself against the scorching sun. Swimwear and a change of clothes made from breathable material are highly recommended.

Most island-hopping tours in Langkawi make their first stop at Pulau Dayang Bunting, which resembles the silhouette of a reclined pregnant lady from afar. After a 15-minute boat ride from Kuah Jetty, the lake is reachable in a 15-minute hike via a concrete stairway built through a dense rainforest. Surrounded by mangrove trees and a limestone rock formations, you can swim in the lake or lounge on the many rubber platforms.

There’s also a small shop nearby selling drinks, snacks, and souvenirs, as well as offering paddleboats and life jacket rentals. Tickets to Tasik Dayang Bunting aren’t usually included in the package, so you are required to pay an additional fee of RM6 (RM3 for Malaysians).

After about an hour, you’ll be taken to visit Pulau Beras Basah, another pristine Langkawi beach with clear waters and far-reaching views of the sea where you can relax and soak up the sun and sea after a day spent trekking up to the Pregnant Maiden Lake. Its expansive beaches are great for swimming and picnicking while its lush forest is suitable for jungle-trekking and overnight camping, but the latter isn’t included in the itineraries of standard island-hopping tours.

The island-hopping tour ends with a quick stop at Pulau Singa Besar, a wildlife sanctuary that’s home to eagles, monkeys, mousedeer, hornbills, snakes, monitor lizards, and peacocks. Located 17km southwest of Kuah Jetty, you may not be able to explore the island, but you can watch an exciting eagle-feeding session by your tour guide. Observe as they dive to catch their prey, chicken bits that the boat driver has thrown into the water, with deadly precision – it’s a great photo and video opportunity.

Splash Out Langkawi is inspired by seafarers exploring the seven seas, with 12 thrill seeking and immersive slides and rides befitting a seafarer’s adventure: Ragin’Racers, Splash-Tacular, Shipwreck Falls, Splash Twister, Poseidon’s Revenge, Perfect Storm, Big Splash Kingdom, Wild Water, Rainbow Rider, Splash-Python, Sprinkle Island and River of Life….

Experienced the adrenalin rush on the Perfect Storm, a 40-degree parabolic bowl-shaped ride on a raft with a kaleidoscope twisting effect before splashing down to ground level or head to Ragin’Racers and slide down at top speed of 50km/per hour.

The Splash-Tacular provides the adrenalin junkie with an unforgettable slide experience at top speeds accelerated by hydro jets and plummeting into a black hole of visual effects.  Add on to your thrill with the Shipwreck Falls, where you will experience a steep drop before propelling vertically uphill and thereafter a reverse and ending into a splash pool.

Get ready and catch the intergalactic Poseidon’s Revenge, as you slide in top speed, as accelerated by an uphill hydro jet that ultimately plummet into a black hole of visual effects….

Wade and get wet in the 6ft Wild Water wave pool or head over to the River of Life, a safer and gentle ride for the entire family.  Enjoy a gentle tumble and splash along the 330 meters lazy stretch of “river” in inflatable floats or just get drenched over 250 litres of water in its Big Splash Kingdom.

Kids and even we big overgrown kiddies enjoyed the interactive water playground themed Sprinkle Island which offers the little ones a safe and fun splash beneath water sprinklers…

In addition to the many spills and thrills, the water park also features 5 Food & Beverage dining outlets, East India Coffee & Tea Company and the Bass Harbour Outpost & Supply Retail Shop.  Additional carts and kiosks featuring snacks, treats and drinks will be splashed throughout the water park.

Splash Out Langkawi is a family friendly water park with facilities such as strollers, lockers, first-aid room, changing & nursing rooms and prayer rooms.
