Ulu Temburong Travel Guide

Temburong, Brunei's pristine primary-rainforest park, the green lung of Borneo, offers longboat trips and canopy walks.

📍 Destination Overview

Ulu Temburong National Park, in Brunei's eastern Temburong district, protects a nearly untouched primary rainforest, called the green lung of Borneo. Visitors ride slender traditional longboats upstream through the jungle, then climb the high canopy walkway to overlook an endless green sea of rainforest, a pristine, spellbinding sanctuary.
