📍 Destination Overview
Tutong, capital of Brunei's northern Tutong District, 48 km from Bandar Seri Begawan, is the country's fourth-largest city. The Tutong River, Brunei's longest, is lined with mangroves sheltering proboscis monkeys and fireflies, which light the trees at dusk. Tutong Beach's white sand and palms are a favourite for picnics and sunsets, and Malay stilt houses complete the appeal.
