Itinerary:

We start our tour in Brunei with a transfer from your hotel to the boat jetty in the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan. The tour starts with pick up from your hotel and transfer to the boat jetty in the capital city. Board an open deck wooden boat and cruise along the river sightseeing from the water level.

 

This Brunei travel experience will give you a view of two different worlds – one side; you will see the modern developing capital city of Brunei and on the other side of the river, you will see the traditional style water village, the biggest of its kind in the world.

 

Your river safari will also pass the biggest residential palace in the world, Istana Nurul Iman. With a huge 1,788 rooms, the palace is the official residence of His Majesty, The Sultan of Brunei, and a favourite Brunei tourism highlight.

 

After passing the Royal Palace, we continue our Brunei nature tour as we cruise slowly under the mangrove trees and get up close up look at the marine life that lives here. See mudskippers, monitor lizards and with luck spot blue throated or red kingfishers. The white egret and night heron are also common sights in the mangroves.

 

Keep an eye out for the look out for the rare endangered proboscis monkey, which usually comes to the water in the early morning and evening, and can provide some perfect Borneo wildlife travel pictures! The monkeys are very distinctive with their odd, brightly coloured nose and can only be found on the island of Borneo and Sumatra in Indonesia. Hopefully you will see at least five to ten families of around 20 monkeys per family.

 

Our Brunei tour ends with transfer back to your hotel.

Tipping:

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides and drivers a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour
