Itinerary
The tour starts with a pick-up from your hotel, followed by a transfer to a local restaurant for dinner.
After dinner, proceed for a scenic evening-boat cruise along the Brunei River, cruising upstream to pass the water village and the glittering Royal Palace, before entering the serene and quiet mangrove and nipah palm area. Keep looking out for beautiful flashes of light emitted by the fireflies. The firefly is a species of insect that lives in the wet areas of South East Asia, and the flashing light is actually a mode of communication.
At the same time, keep watching out for other nocturnal animals in the mangrove like the night heron, the monitor lizards and some aquatic life forms. If you are lucky, you might enjoy a close encounter with a wild Borneo salt water crocodile.
The tour ends with a transfer back to your hotel.
