 BTS Tour Code BWN SSM

 In the centre of Bandar Seri  Begawan are the water villages of Kampong Ayer. Just beyond the water village is a mangrove environment that still supports a diversity of wildlife; another unique feature of Brunei.

Kampong Ayr Water Village

The tour departs at 1600 hrs. This tour, begins with a visit to the water village, stopping to explore on foot along the walkways, and to visit a water village house for afternoon tea of local cakes. See the life and people of Kampong Ayer.

Then travel up river, towards the isolated mangroves where nature still dominates, watching for wildlife along the way. Drive past the previous Sultan’s palace and then the present palace. Then move deeper into the mangroves.

Motor or paddle quietly along the narrow mangrove channels, stopping to listen and look for the bird and animal life. Your guide will explain the mangrove ecology and the plant and animal life which this tangle of mangroves, vines, palms and trees supports.

Most days you will see Proboscis Monkeys, Macaques, birds and marine life. Some days we also see crocodiles, monitor lizards, and other larger animals.

Jame'Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque

You will return on dusk past the Sultan’s Palace for what are probably the best photos available. Then return through the centre of Bandar Seri Begawan to see the town and water village as the lights come on. Return to Bandar Seri Begawan at 1900 hrs (Canned drinks and water are include)

There is an Steamboat Dinner (at additional charge) at Portview overlooking the Brunei River and Water Village  if required - tour would then end at around 2030 hrs.
