We begin this adventure by taking a speedboat that will rush us through the narrow mangrove channels leading into the Brunei Bay where we may see the local wildlife as they wake up to the morning sun and look for things to eat. Upon arrival in Bangar, Temburong, we will take land transport to Freme Rainforest Lodge in Batang Duri for some morning tea before taking the longboats up to the Ulu Temburong National Park. After registration at the Park Headquarters, we will take a walk on elevated walkways to reach the Canopy Walkway which reaches 40 meters above the ground.
After the exhilarating walk, we will make our way back to the Freme Rainforest Lodge (Rafting and Kayaking are optional) where we will have lunch before settling in to the air-conditioned accommodation. The afternoon is free at leisure, and in the evening there will be a night walk after a beautiful barbeque dinner.
The next morning, we serve some light breakfast before leaving the Freme Rainforest Lodge to go see the sunrise from a nearby hill. After the main breakfast, we will take you through the Freme Adventure Park where you can ascend to our High Observation Deck and return to the Lodge via Flying Fox (Zipline). After lunch we will make our way back to Bangar to catch a speedboat back to Bandar Seri Begawan.
