    It took us quite some time but thanks to the team’s efforts we managed to see the proboscis monkeys! After that we visited a water village house and tried some delicious local sweets. It was an opportunity to find out more about Brunei culture and everyday life 👍

    The water culture tour included sighting of several proboscis monkeys in the trees. My driver Baby took me on a great water ride through the huge water city. Truly the most sophisticated water culture I have ever seen, with several schools, and a parking lot off shore for residents to drive to work in the city. This is the first water culture museum I have ever seen and I spent an hour here, exploring the photos and artifacts.

The opportunity to visit s house in the water village was great too. Our guide was very good. Warm, friendly and answered all our questions.
