"Brunei's Royal Splendour and Rainforest Adventure" emerged from a fascination with contrasts. Intrigued by the juxtaposition of Bandar Seri Begawan's royal opulence against the primal allure of Ulu Temburong's rainforests, we envisioned a tour that bridges two worlds.
The idea was to let travellers not only witness the lavishness of the Sultan's palace but also to tread along the untouched paths of Borneo’s jungles. This is a perfect tour designed for travellers who can take a stopover in Brunei and move onwards for their Borneo tour.
