Summary: This was a great tour. Our guide Sandra was very knowledgeable, and the visit to the home in the water village was wonderful. We saw lots of proboscis monkeys and fireflies. It was a lovely evening on the water, seeing Bandar Seri Begawan at night is beautiful. The boat operator was highly competent and helpful. A really enjoyable outing.

Summary: Overall a great tour, highly recommend if you are traveling to Brunei! We saw tons of animals - 5+ colonies of Proboscis monkeys, several crocodiles, water birds, an eagle, and fireflies. Along the way our guide gave us tons of great local history and stories. Both the boat driver and guide were really attentive to making sure we got good views of all the wild life. We also saw a beautiful sunset and got a tour of the water village complete with visiting a home and getting to taste some local snacks. Amazing hospitality and a great experience!
