UPDATED ITINERARY - SEV 02

Tour Name     : ULU TEMBURONG NATIONAL PARK DAYTRIP
Tour Code       : SEV02
Tour Duration : Approximatively 9 hours



A 45‐minute speedboat ride from Bandar Seri Begawan to Bangar, zipping through meandering rivers lined with mangroves and nipah palms. From Bangar, its a short drive and a little trek through the jungle to Sumbiling Eco Village. After enjoying some light refreshments, embark on a temuai (local longboat) ride up the Temburong River to the National Park, with rapids and strong currents for a true adrenalin rush! During low tide, you might even have to come out of the temuai to push it along! Upon arrival, a challenging trek takes you up to the Canopy Walkway ‐ a climb up presents the different levels of the rainforest below the shady canopies, topped with a breathtaking vista of the surrounding greenery. Return to temuai, and head for a beautiful waterfall, where you can have a swim, before returning to the Eco Village. Once close by, you may also opt to float on a rubber tube or bamboo raft back to the Eco Village (tube or raft use chargeable). Freshen up then enjoy a hearty lunch prepared by local villagers. Some relax and photo time, and if time permits, an optional visit to an Iban longhouse. Depart for Bangar, returning to BSB by speedboat.
