dense rainforest. Your experienced jungle guide will explain to you the

of the different of flora and fauna endemic to Brunei and an insight
into the various traditional herbs used by the local community as traditional
medicine. A local lunch will be served in the traditional leaf platter

guests may have the chance to test local Bruneian fruits, which grow
wildly in the rainforest. The trek will continue through fresh water

muddy, wet and slippery.
On the return trek guests will be given the opportunity to lead the group
