BRUNEI HIGHLIGHTS
Best of Brunei
Best of Brunei
Brunei, an incredibly wealthy nation on the island of Borneo, is a stunning mixture of old and new. From elaborate mosques to simple water-villages, Brunei offers a culture very distinct from the other parts of Borneo. Enjoy a short cruise to a water village for tea in a local home. The water village is home to 30,000 people and has schools, hospitals, police stations, shop and mosques, all located over the water. Then, move quietly along the narrow mangrove channels, stopping to listen and look for the birds and animal life that call the mangroves home. If you are lucky you can observe the shy proboscis monkeys found only on Borneo. Your guide will explain the mangrove ecology and some of the diversity of plants and animal life in the tangle of mangroves, vines, palms and trees. The boat returns to the center of Bandar Seri Begawan, where you will stop by the open-air Kianggeh Market for a chance to mingle with the local people, followed by a visit to the Royal Regalia. This facility offers a replica inside view of the palace, and the regalia used by the Sultan during Jubilee celebrations. A delicious lunch will be served in Bandar before you return to the ship.
