Visit Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque.
Then walk across the bridge to the other side of the river. There’s a park on the other side where you can hire a buggy to drive around the park. Or you can hire bikes. If you walk further across the bridge (in the park area) you’ll come across a walkway that takes you straight into the floating village. No need for boat because you’re right there in the heart of the floating village. The wooden walkway into the water village isn’t for children or those afraid of walking on wooden panels without handrails or guards. The water village is worth a visit. Village People are friendly and welcoming. They don’t hassle you. You need to have an open mind and smile. When you smile, everyone smiles back. Don’t be afraid to speak to them. There’s local cuisines.

We rode through the village as well as trying to get a peek at the Palace. It was fascinating to see the schools and fire station, as well as the beautiful new bridge.

This is definitely worth a visit to have a stroll around a rather unique environment. Wave over a water taxi for $1 per person and then take a leisurely walk around the village (arrows indicate permitted routes) taking in the different properties (checkout the pottery house!). There's not a great deal to do here but it's definitely worth an hour or so of your time.

Similar to a river ride however what's different was the history of the water village where Brunei began and hosting of snacks by the owner of the tour company as part of a cultural immersion and hospitality of the people.

It was not easy to climb a ladder from the boat so if you have concerns please inform your guide.

The boat ride was refreshing, I saw some accommodations/lodges offered by some owners (air conditioned). It's possible to book your own ride or to cross from the mainland to a house somewhere in case you're in a do it yourself itinerary.

To visit the Village, you have to first visit Mangrove Paradise Resort and arranged a boat service 'water-taxi' to the destination. The village itself is also a homestay experience for guets.

I brought over 40 overseas guests to visit the Village, i thought everyone had a good time trying out many local delicacies like Ambuyat, Prawn Cracker and etc.

Everyone enjoyed the short boat ride to the Village. Though the pricing was bit costly to spend the few hours there as the lunch choices were not a lot too.

We even included a short trip to fish farm just near the village, which was charged separately.

Overall it was a great experience.

We took a boat ride for nearly one and half hours. Nice view. We did not have a chance to have a close watch of the Dutch monkey. They were on trees and quite a distance from us.

Had a wonderful visit to view the village, set up very well and using concrete as the fire can travel through a large part of the neighbourhood. It has schools,police, doctors community etc. such an idyllic setting with mountains ⛰ behind and the river in the foreground. Water taxis are used to get from the community side to the land side. Locals in the village have their own car park on the land side. You can also see a great view of the new bridge connecting the water village side to the land side. A very nice bridge that is a lovely design. Recently opened this year? Or late last year.

You will board a boat at a nearby jetty to get to the Water Village located on the Brunei River where you will witness first hand a much different side of life. More then 30,000 people live here in thousands of structures built on stilts. The village is an amazing assortment of homes, restaurants, mosques, shops and hospitals all connected by wooden boardwalks. Surprisingly, some of the homes are quite elaborate. People have lived in the village for more then 1,000 years making it one of the most historic sites in Brunei..

Built by the government, this is a very modern, well planned and interesting water village situated by the Brunei Bay.

A fishing village consisting of 112 houses & population of about 1,000 people, showcasing the local traditions and life of the people living in the village.

A homestay programe is also available for tourists to experience life living on the water.

You need a tour guide provided by local tour operators to visit this place.
