Introduction
A perfect way to experience Brunei’s unique wilderness rainforest region is by visiting the Ulu Temburong National Park, the first national park established in the Sultanate that contains the finest example of a successful forest protection policy known as the ‘Green Jewel of Brunei’
Description
The fun begins with a 45-minute speedboat ride from Bandar Seri Begawan to Bangar Town, zipping through meandering rivers lined with mangroves and nipah palms. From Bangar, it is a short drive overland for light jungle trekking.
Enjoy some light refreshment and transfer via local long boat Temuai and ride upstream along Temburong River to reach the national park, with rapids and strong currents for a true adrenalin rush.
