Rainforest Field Studies Centre Kuala Belalong

The FSC is located near Kuala Belalong, within the Batu Apoi Forest Reserve. It is a joint venture project between Brunei Shell Petroleum and University Brunei Darussalam (UBD). Brunei Shell donated the funds to build seven timber houses,including accommodation, a laboratory and a dining room. 

The centre is a focal point for teaching, training and research into the lowland tropical forests of Brunei. It can also provide facilities for fieldwork at both university and secondary school level, which are available to schools, higher education institutes, government departments and bona-fide overseas scientists. The centre can accommodate up to 24 people. 

The trip there is not easy, and can take up to two and a half hours of pushing and pulling a longboat over a series of 23 rapids. But the site is a natural wonder of international importance. For example, one entomologist doing research there found over 400 species of beetle in a single tree. Applications for overnight visits must be made through the UBD.

Ulu Temburong National Park is situated in the second largest district in Brunei Darussalam, Temburong. It consists of Brunei's unspoiled jungle and well known as the "Green Jewel of Brunei'. In order to reach this interesting place of Brunei, you need to travel by a unique type of transportation called the 'long boats' along the Temburong River to the park from the city of Temburong. 

As you reach the park, a must place to go is the canopy walk which is built of steel towers which rise up to 50 metres. As you reach the top, you will be able to have a good view of the forests including the highest canopy tree.

Tamu Tutong Kampung Serambagun

This big Tamu, or open market, offers a great variety of produce, especially local foods, fruits, vegetables and handicrafts. Most of the vendors of these items are from the inland forest areas, who come here to sell their produce and also to buy for their own needs.

This park lies just short of Tutong on the Muara - Tutong Highway. It is one of the most popular spots in the district for picnicking. the park includes a mini-lake, platforms, shelter huts and open activity areas.

Seri Kenangan Beach

The Pantai Seri Kenangan Beach in Brunei is located in the Tutong District. Though there are four other beaches in the district as well, each of them is different from one another. The Pantai Seri Kenangan Beach is undoubtedly the most popular beach.

 Its location within a short distance of the Kampong Penabia, Kampong Sengkarai and the Kampong Tuala Tutong plays an instrumental role in drawing crowds. The beauty of the coastline stretching over a considerable area and equipped with playgrounds, food kiosks, barbecue facilities and changing rooms make it ideal for family outings and picnics. Its scenic beauty is heightened by an intervening strip of land with the Tutong River on one side and the South China Sea on the other. The beach is also the location of the ‘Istana Pantai’, the royal residence.

The popular activities on the beach include swimming, fishing, picnics or even a leisurely stroll for that matter. As one progresses further and reaches the Kampong Kuala Tutong, a walk through the forest brings one to the old jetty. Earlier this site was used to operate ferry boats before the construction of the present bridge. The Pantai Seri Kenangan beach is a great place to spend a leisurely weekend.
