This popular tour consists of a leisurely cruise through the mangroves in search of the wild Proboscis Monkey which arguably the largest monkey on earth, which are found only in Borneo. Before entering the mangrove forest we will pass the famous Kampong Ayer and Sultans Palace (Istana Nurul Iman).
Only the experience local nature guide will assure you to see and understand the habitat and ecology of this elusive creature, which has excited the curiosity of visitors to Borneo since colonial times. The pendulous pink noses and potbellies of the adult males reminded locals of Europeans, and this gave them their local name of Orang Belanda, or Ducthman. In Brunei we call them, Bangkatan.
Explanations on Nipah palm and Mangrove forest will be given and an opportunity to witness other wildlife in the area.Great White Egrets and King Fishers are commonly seen. We may be lucky enough to encounter a Salt-water Crocodile or Monitor lizard. Other mammals include flying foxes, and long tail macaques.
