Tour Name : Mutong Adventure + Sumbiling Experience
Tour Code : SEV03
Tour Duration : 2 days, 1 night
The fun begins with 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 settling in, the rest of the day will be spent interacting with villagers who will take you wild vegetable gathering, on a night forest walk after dinner and to visit their longhouse.
Rise early to witness sunrise and prepare for the day. After breakfast, cross to the other side of the Temburong River by temuai (local longboat). Passing abundant growth of ʹsimpurʹ and bamboo, the trek in the forest will show you the ʺrainforest as a supermarketʺ to the villagers. Search for edible fruit, medicinal herbs like wild local ginseng as well as other useful plants. Relish the adventure of crossing the Mutong River, river trek and, subject to river condition, floating down Mutong River or Temburong River by rubber tube or bamboo raft (tube and raft use is chargeable). Freshen up then enjoy a hearty lunch prepared by local villagers. Some relax and photo time before departing for Bangar, and returning to Bandar Seri Begawan by speedboat, with fond memories of your rainforest adventure by Sumbiling Eco Village!
