Pulau Sibungor

Pulau Sibungor is a small island located on the Brunei River near Bandar Seri Begawan. It is characterized by wetland forests and serves as a habitat for proboscis monkeys. Travelers visit the island to observe these primates and the surrounding natural environment in a relatively undisturbed state.

Getting There

Access to the island is by boat from the city center. Visitors typically hire a water taxi from the riverfront areas. The journey takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes depending on the departure point and river conditions.

Duration of Visit

Allow roughly 1 to 2 hours for a visit. This provides enough time to navigate the island's terrain and search for wildlife.

When to Visit

Early morning or late afternoon are the most effective times for wildlife spotting, as proboscis monkeys are more active during these periods. Visitors should be aware of local weather patterns, particularly during the rainy season, which can affect boat travel and visibility.
