ULU TEMBURONG NATIONAL PARK


MINIMUM 2 ADULTS
TOURS DEPART DAILY 0730HRS

Ulu Temburong is Brunei first National park. It has been protected since 1991 and preserved for scientific research and low impact Eco-tourism. Due to its remote location, there are few visitors and the journey itself is an adventure!
It begins with 45-minutes water taxi ride from Bandar Seri Begawan;  waving through a network of narrow mangrove channels into Temburong District and to the small riverside town of Bangar.

From Bangar a vehicle will take you to Batang Duri, about 17 km away, where your will join the Temburong river. From here you will travel upstream through the rapids of the Sungai Temburong in a traditional Iban longboat or Temuai, to the national park. 

If the water level is low the guests are expected to get out and help to push the boat up the shallow rapids. Having signed in at the entrance to the Park you can explore several kilometres of wooden  boardwalks through superb primary rainforest. 

There is a 65-metre long and 80 metres high canopy walkway which guests can climb to get a closer look at life in the treetops with spectacular views of the surrounding area. Lunch will be provided at the riverside. We will proceed for a swim at a waterfall (if water level permitting) or else we will take a boat ride down stream and return to Bandar Seri Begawan.
