This small, wealthy yet little-visited country in Asia has some superb natural jewels in its crown. A real must for anyone wanting to appreciate some of the finest primary rainforest in the world, and the animals that inhabit it.
Bruneian Borneo has resisted the temptation to sell off its rainforest in favour of palm oil plantations, and this has resulted in some of the richest and most biodiverse forest land in the eastern hemisphere. |

What can I do?
|
Harvest your own stingless bee honey at one of the unique honey farms dotted around the country
Wander around the Thursday wet market in Tutong which attracts people from all over the country - you can check out Borneo’s domestic produce, grab some snacks, toys, clothes, or just hang out and chat to people. You probably won’t see any other foreigners there, so it’s a unique look at day-to-day life in this tiny sultanate. Visit the Sultan’s Palace - one of the richest people in the world opens his palace to the public for 3 days every year for his birthday (mid-July) so people can pay their respects, and he greets every single person personally! |
Hang out on the beautiful beaches, or set up at one of the barbecue cabanas to watch the sun go down
Take a longboat into the rainforest, or spot alligators in the mangroves just outside the capital, BSB. |
