The aquarium is open daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, although during school holidays and public holidays it often opens earlier at 9:30 AM. It is located at the end of Pantai Cenang Beach, a very central area that you can easily reach by taxi or Grab from the airport or Kuah Pier.

Tickets for international visitors are around MYR 53 (approx. €11) for adults and MYR 43 for children, while Malaysian citizens have reduced rates. You can buy tickets at the box office or check their official website for updated offers.

It is one of the largest marine and freshwater aquariums in Southeast Asia, standing out for its impressive 15-meter tunnel and its conservation work. Its importance lies in the unique biodiversity it houses, including rockhopper penguins in a tropical climate, something truly unique in the region.

Since it is located in Pantai Cenang, you have direct access to one of the island’s most famous beaches right outside. In addition, the aquarium is connected to the The Zon Duty Free shopping center, perfect for duty-free shopping and dining options.

The most important thing is to check the feeding times for the penguins and seals when you arrive, as they are the highlight. Also, bring a light jacket, as the air conditioning in the Sub-Antarctic section is usually quite strong to keep the penguins comfortable.
