Brunei Waterfront — Attraction in Borneo

We actually wanted to go the Kampong across the river and we thought that the boats parked along this river will bring us there but instead we were talked into a river tour that costs 30 Brunei dollars.

The entire experience was not bad as the boat driver explained every single land mark along the ride in English. We went to a mangrove area where there are a lot of moneys. There are also some colorful birds around and crocodile popping their head over shallow waters.

The boat ride also brings you around Kampong Ayer, we passed the photo spot that we initially wanted to go and surprisingly there are not much tourist there. I boat ride satisfied our need to visit the village as we got really close to the village and were treated to many nice views along the way as well.

I wonder why Kampong Ayer was recommended as a tourist spot, it felt like a residential area to me.

Love this place, especially in the morning and evenings (catching the sunset here is not bad, too!). Great place to jog, run, roller blade, do fun stuff; while catching the fresh breeze, and enjoying the space.

Every Sunday, in the morning, the roads nearby are closed so it’s good to warm up by the waterfront, walk around it, then head on to the roads and enjoy car-free time!

Nothing like walking on the roads and exercising safely, and listening to the birds coo-ing. Watching the beautiful skies. Spend about 1 hour, it’s worth it.

The waters can be quite busy with boats transporting people to and fro the Kampung...

The waterfront is exactly what you would expect. Nice view over the river. Lots of boatman around that are willing to take you to the monkeys. We made a deal for $30 for two people for a short tour. Maybe we got a good deal because the sun was getting low already? Anyway, nice and calm boat ride to the monkeys. They were quite easy to spot. We also say a crocodile! On the way back we tour a detour through the floating village. Interesting...
