Underwater World, Mahsuri Tomb & Eagle Square
Moderate Activity
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Your tour begins as you board your motorcoach for a scenic drive to Mahsuri Tomb. You'll witness idyllic beaches, pristine waters and lush greenery as you make your way around this exotic island.
You'll move from reality to legend as you visit the Mahsuri Tomb, located about seven miles from the capital of Kuah. Langkawi's most famous legend is that of Mahsuri, a tragic tale of a young woman living on the island in the early 1800's. When she was executed in the rice paddies for her claimed adulterous acts, white blood is said to have seeped from her veins where she was stabbed with a keris (dagger) of her own family. With her last breath she cursed the island for seven generations. Langkawi faded into obscurity until it was proclaimed a duty-free island in 1987, exactly seven generations later. Before departing, you'll have an opportunity to shop for souvenirs and gifts.
Next on your itinerary is Underwater World Langkawi which features the island's rich treasure trove of marine life. Located at the popular Cenang Beach, this aquarium features more than 5,000 types of aquatic life, exhibited in more than 100 tanks of different sizes. The highlight is a giant tank housing large marine species such as sharks, stringrays, moray eels and green turtles, with a 15-metre tunnel for visitors to walk through.
The last stop on your tour is Langkawi's most prominent landmark, situated near the Kuah Jetty. Eagle Square's main attraction is the magnificent statue of the reddish brown eagle majestically poised for flight. According to local folklore, Langkawi derived its name from the eagle or "helang." In old Malay, "kawi" denotes reddish brown, hence Langkawi means "reddish brown eagle." Afterwards return to the ship.
