Holidays To Brunei

What rhymes with Bill Nye? A lot of things. Mai tai, knee-high…but that’s not what we were thinking.

Something along the lines of Brunei is what we had in mind. It’s a country on the island of Borneo—where orangutans come from!—and should be high on your list of places to visit. Fun fact: the belalong tree frog can only be found in this country. Ready to learn about Brunei’s legendary sultans and experience its beauty for yourself?

Things to Do in Brunei

It was a long journey, but you’ve finally arrived for your Brunei holiday. Kick off your adventure with a free visit to the Royal Regalia Building Museum in the city of Bandar Seri Begawan. The museum is dedicated to Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. No, he wasn’t the “Sultan of Swat” (that would be the great Babe Ruth), but he does have 5,000 cars. Lots of the exhibits display artifacts like the gold and silver weaponry that were used in royal ceremonies. Look, but don’t touch!

Now that you’ve had your fun in the city, pick up one of Wotif’s car hire deals in Brunei and take a drive to Ulu Temburong National Park. Take a kayak down the Temburong River, walk amongst the tree tops along the suspension bridges and keep your eyes peeled for the rhinoceros hornbills. They look like evil Toucan Sams and they definitely don’t care for Fruit Loops.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

There’s a number of upscale shopping districts located throughout the capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan. Drop some of the money you saved on Brunei deals at the Serusop Complex, where plenty of small shopping centres have sprouted. But why go to a far-off country to shop at the same stores you have back home? Check out the Tamu Kianggeh open-air market and see what interesting pieces of flair you can get your hands on.

Don’t blow all your money on gifts—you’re going to need Brunei dollars for food. The Pasar Malam (night market) is a great place to sample all the local delicacies. Treating yourself to a plate of nasi goring should be at the top of your food list. It’s pretty much fried rice with shrimp, but the Bruneians have put their own twist on it. And what are Brunei holidays without sampling the national dish of ambuyat? It’s a starchy, bland pudding that comes from the interior trunk of the sago palm. Mmmm.

Something you should know about the night life in Brunei: This is a dry nation. The purchase of alcohol is illegal, but if you’re over 17, a non-Muslim and bring limited amounts into the country, you can drink it in your home. But you probably don’t have a home here since you’re on holiday. That doesn’t mean you can’t have yourself a good time once the sun goes down—the night markets have tons of shopping to enjoy!
