Description:

Discover the undisturbed Selirong Island on this morning trip from the city. Cruise through the island's mangrove forest, spot diverse native wildlife, and encounter the peculiar proboscis monkey.

Your journey begins with hotel pickup in the early morning and a ride toward the ferry port. Hop aboard a speedboat and depart for the untouched Selirong Island. Breathe in the fresh sea air and absorb the spectacular setting of Brunei Bay.

Cruise along this well-preserved nature park, passing by a lush landscape of mangroves, some reaching up to 131 feet (40 m) in height. Be on the lookout for the exotic wildlife that calls the mangrove forest home, such as the colugo, a gliding mammal known as a flying lemur, and the proboscis monkey, the long-nosed oddballs found only in Borneo.

These endangered primates are easy to spot, with their protruding noses and large stomachs. Once you see them, observe their daily routine of looking for young leaves to eat and avoiding crocodiles, and take some memorable snaps of their unique faces.

On your return journey, stop by Baru-Baru Island and visit Brunei's only charcoal company. Learn how they produce charcoal from sawdust before returning to the ferry port in the city, where your hotel transfer awaits you.
