Tour Description
This 2.5 hours tour starts with pick up from your hotel and transfer to the boat jetty in the capital, Bandar Seri Begawan. Board an open-deck local wooden boat for a cruise along the Brunei River. This experience gives you a view of two contrasting worlds – on one side is the modern developing capital city of Brunei and on the other, the reflective serenity of Kampong Ayer, one of the largest water village in Southeast Asia.
Your guide will point to you a cable-stayed bridge. Connecting the city centre and the water village, the bridge is named after the present Queen consort – the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Hajah Saleha Bridge. The second longest single-pylon cable stayed bridge in the world, it has a tower that rises to the height of 157 metres – a number that also stand for the birthday of HM The Sultan, 15th July.
The river safari cruise will pass by Nurul Iman Palace – official residence of The Sultan, it is the world’s largest residential palace in the world with 1,788-rooms. The cruise will then slows down for visitors to appreciate the wonders of the mangrove world which is the cradle for a myriad of marine life such as the unique mudskipper fish that lives on land and underwater, blue-throated and small red kingfishers, white egrets, night herons and the rare endangered proboscis monkeys usually gather near the river in the early morning and at dusk time. Found only on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, Indonesia, these odd-looking primates are characterised by the males having large bright orange coloured, pendulous noses. In Brunei, you do not have to travel far into the jungle to see them as many may be sighted on the river safari cruise.
