Before heading off to explore some of Langkawi’s neighboring islands, make sure you don’t miss out on some of the top spots on the island. Temurun Waterfall on the northwestern part of the island is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world and is at its most spectacular from June to December. Underwater World is one of the largest marine and freshwater aquariums in Asia featuring over 5,000 varieties of fish and other exhibits from 500 species displayed in over 100 tanks.
