I really enjoyed this one-day trip. The boat ride up the Temburong River, the Jungle Canopy Walk and the all-natural "Fish Spa" were some absolute highlights. I can recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a first impression of how an original jungle forest looks and sounds like. The Borneo Trekker team were very competent and cordial guides the whole day through. Thank you!

We did the Brunei by night city tour with Han and we loved every minute! Han was so easy going and shared so much knowledge about the history and culture of Brunei. He even brought us to a few extra places because we had time on the tour. We learnt so much and really fell in love with Brunei thanks to Han and his tour! Would highly recommend!

Han is the man! Delightful guide, and so proud to share his Bruneian history. I learned so much on this tour and felt it really gave you an insider’s view of the city, culture, ins and outs of Brunei and what it is like to live there. Really fascinating. Make sure you request Han’s tour. Super easy going, enjoyable and so knowledgeable. Of multiple guides I had the opportunity to be in company of on my trip, Han gets my first choice for sure. I don’t know how I would have found the restaurant over the water he took us to, let alone navigate the non English menu!! We covered a lot and enjoyed the wildlife and water village life especially. Meeting the entrepreneur, Mr. Brunei 2015 and his adorable family was a bonus!

We took the water village and mangrove forest tour and it was really great. Smooth communication, on time pick up, and Han our guide is very good. We learned a lot about Brunei history and culture from him. 👌🏻

We visited Brunei on a 14 hour layover on the way back from Bali and were met by our guide at the airport. He was very helpful and informative and explained to us so much about the country on the drive round all the places. Visiting mosques, royal palace, monkey mangrove tour, water village tour.

Once again, I would strongly recommend anyone who is visiting on a layover in Brunei to get in touch with this company as cannot fault anything.

We had a very good tour of Brunei. Our guide and driver were very professional. The highlight was the river tour through the water village. We stopped at a good restaurant with lovely views and a good buffet for lunch.
Everything was handled efficiently by Borneo Trekker and I would not hesitate to book with them again in the future.
Thank you for giving us a fun day out.

We were on a cruise and booked a shore excursion with Borneo Trekker. They did a fantastic job! When we got off the ship they were there waiting for us and off we went to explore Brunei. We visited several beautiful Mosques and other historic sites. We were fortunate that they had a National celebration going on that day and we were able to join in on the celebration where they had parades and lots of other things representing the national spirit of Brunei. Even the King was at the celebration. In addition to the celebration we toured the River Villages on a water taxi and even visited the taxi operators home where we could see first hand how they lived. they made some wonderful snacks for u, such as fried shrimp rolls and sticky rice. It was truly a one of a kind experience. We also visited the Empire Hotel which was a 7 Star Hotel in and swimming pool its prime. It was a beautiful hotel and the grounds were stunning. The Polo Club was right next to the hotel. We had lunch at a buffet where there was a vast array of different kinds of food and the food was quite good. We toured all around the city and surrounding countryside and really felt like we got to experience all aspects of Brunei. Our tour Guide Mims did a fantastic job and was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. The tour couldn't have been any better and it far exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Borneo Trekker for a tour of Brunei!!!

Han was our guide for our city tour of Brunei. We had a great day touring the Mosques, seeing the sights and even a great buffet lunch. Learning about the history was great and Han certainly was a wealth of knowledge. The highlight was the visiting to the Water Village and spending time on superman's boat on the water. Highly recommend touring with Borneo Trekker!!

My wife and I had a wonderful Rain Forest Day Tour yesterday, starting with Han picking us up early to take us to our speedboat transfer, then Leila meeting us in Bangar Town for breakfast and to transfer us to Batang Duri for our long boat to Ulu Temburong. Her son Hafiz was our friendly and wonderful guide for our walk through the jungle and up to the canopy layer. The views were sensational, and the walk/climb exhilarating. Doctor Fish was fun and tickly(!), and the river tubing was fun, refreshing and relaxing. Lunch at the campsite was very nice and welcome, and the visit to the longhouse was a nice way to end the tour before the ferry back to Bandar. A very full, interesting, enjoyable and fun day.

This is a really great company, especially if, like us, you only have a short time in Brunei. We contacted Borneo Trekker two days before we arrived and, within a short time, they had put together a superb itinerary that included everything that we wanted. They also shifted the times to suit our schedule. This meant that we managed to fit in Brunei by night, a city tour, and a trip into the jungle to see the monkeys and crocodiles.
Han is a brilliant guide. He has a wealth of knowledge about Brunei and a great sense of humour. He is also great at spotting monkeys high in the trees!
The highlights of our tours were the mosques, which are absolutely stunning. However, we also had a great boat man who took us around the water village and up into the jungle. Importantly, we felt that the time on the tour was not being wasted. We didn't once go to a souvenir shop, which for us was perfect as that would have been the last place that we would have wanted to go. And the restaurant that we went to for dinner on the night tour was actually very good, again something that set this apart from the usual tours.
Overall, we can really highly recommend Borneo Trekker.
