What are the best tours in Brunei?
There are plenty of high-quality tours and experiences in Brunei. According to previous travelers, here are the best tours to book right now:
Are guided tours in Brunei worth it?
Yes, guided tours in Brunei are worth it. Despite being a small country—think the size of Delaware—it doesn't have a robust public transportation network, and the top attractions are pretty spread out. Plus, once you're there, it helps to have a local guide at places such as the sprawling Kampong Ayer floating village—which requires a boat for access—and the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque. The latter is only open to non-Muslims at specific times, and certain rules must be observed.
Per one customer who booked the Bandar Highlight & Water Village Tour (Private), "Amazing history, a water village like nowhere else in the world, nicely paced excursion with in-depth cultural information. Our guide, Fendi, was one of the best tour guides we have encountered, and we travel the world."
How much do Brunei tours cost?
Guided tours of Brunei tend to cost more than excursions in other parts of Southeast Asia, with most starting around US$100 per person. That said, many tours are private or limited to a very small number of participants. Half-day tours start around US$130 per person while full-day itineraries will set you back at least US$200. Of course, multi-day tours cost more.
For an immersive tour on the lower end of the price range, book the Brunei Mangrove River Safari for around US$80 per person. On this 2-hour safari, you'll cruise the Brunei River in an open-deck boat and stop at a local stilt house for tea or coffee and cakes. A pricier option worth considering is the Full Brunei Experience—City Excursion—Water Village and Mangrove Safari from US$205 per person. Stops on this full-day tour include the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, the Jame Asr Mosque, and the 1,778-room Istana Nurul Iman—the world's largest residential palace. You'll also visit the water village and cruise through a mangrove forest, home to plenty of monkeys and other wildlife.
What activities are included on Brunei tours?
Brunei tours typically include a river cruise, as many top sights are best viewed by boat. You'll also find tours of the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, Gadong Night Market, and Istana Nurul Iman, as well as canopy tours and cooking classes. If you're interested in wildlife, consider safaris and excursions that focus on spotting the long-nosed proboscis monkey or fireflies.
Consider an all-day tour or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the Brunei Full Day City Tour Including Tamu Kianggeh, Royal Regalia & Kampung Ayer covers the country's top attractions in around eight hours. The day starts with a visit to a local market, followed by stops at museums, Istana Nurul Iman, the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, and Kampong Ayer, where you'll get to see inside a stilt house.
How many days in Brunei is enough?
Most travelers spend between 2–3 days visiting the Land of Unexpected Treasures as a side trip while in Southeast Asia. At a minimum, you’ll want one full day to hit the highlights: Gadong Night Market, Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, Istana Nurul Iman, and Kampong Ayer. On days two and three, you can see other cultural experiences and attractions such as Ulu Temburong National Park, which deserves its own full day—it requires a 2-hour drive and a 30-minute longboat ride to reach before you even start hiking to the canopy walkway.
