Introducing Temburong
If the KB–BSB run leaves you wondering where all that famous rainforest is, just head down into the Temburong district to escape into the green expanses of Brunei’s untouched primary jungle. Jutting out into Sarawak like a stranded finger, Temburong is often overlooked by travellers who simply step straight onto the boat from BSB to Pulau Labuan, although it is increasingly and deservedly marketed as one of the country’s finest natural attractions.

The Peradayan Forest Reserve is a good outing for a jungle walk, or you can visit the Iban longhouse at Batang Duri. For a longer and richer jungle experience, Ulu Temburong National Park and the Kuala Belalong Rainforest Field Studies Centre in the Batu Apoi Forest Reserve receive visitors, but independent travel seems almost actively discouraged – if you aren’t visiting on a tour you’ll have to spend time obtaining a permit.
