Description:

Cruise the Brunei River aboard an open-deck boat and get to know the extraordinary proboscis monkey up-close and personal. Take in the spectacular sights that line both banks of the river and even pass by the royal palace Istana Nurul Iman, all while on the lookout for remarkable Borneo wildlife.

Once you're picked up from your hotel, head to the boat jetty in the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan, where you embark on your river safari. Sit back and take a break as you absorb the passing sights. Look to one side to see the modern structures and developing districts in Brunei's capital; look to the other to see a large, traditional water village.

Glide by the royal palace Istana Nurul Iman—one of the largest residential palaces in the world. This impressive landmark has 1,788 rooms, including 257 bathrooms, a mosque, and a 110-car garage.

Continue your tour through a forest of mangrove tress and spot the wildlife that lives within. Hear intriguing facts about Brunei's native animals, like mudskippers, monitor lizards, red kingfishers, and of course, the proboscis monkey. This tour takes place at an ideal time to spot this endangered primate. Expect to see families—sometimes in groups of 20. Watch them go about their daily lives and take this chance to snap memorable photos of their peculiar faces.
