Totally recommended one of the best natural Eco-friendly tour. A place that visitors love for more than just the forest . Tourist local staff are well trained and freindly to assist in the trip

Had a great time here despite getting caught in a rainstorm. Had an amazing guide. Fairly long trip to get there but ok. At Freme lodge we got a demo on cooking traditional ways using bamboo that after the trip to the park - only accessible by longboat - we got to eat and it was delicious. Staff there were so gracious and welcoming. The boat trip is an experience as the water is fairly swift moving. Then it started to rain and by the time we put rain gear on, we were soaked. Did the 800 steps up to the canopies. Took our time as the rain came again. Came back over the amazing Sultan Omar Ali Saiffuddien bridge - what a site! All in all one of the best days of our trip.

The outing to Apan waterfalls (4 tier) is longer & more arduous , than other tours in Temburong; but it is totally recommended. The gradual ascent from Waterfall 1 to 4, is challenging in parts, due to steep & slippery conditions. But the staff from Freme are well trained & attentive, & there are ropes to assist you. Best not to rush , & take ample time to rest, take photos or even plunge into the cool waters. A real nature’s gem

Beautiful waterfalls hide inside the rainforest of Ulu Temburong, Sungai Apan. Travel from Freme Rainforest Lodge located at Batang Duri Temburong require approximately 40 minutes long boat ride to reach Sungai Apan. A 20 minutes hike from river bank through the rainforest to reach the first fall, after that hike and climb are require to go to the second falls and so forth. Require good energy and stamina but definitely worth the hike, these fall are really beautiful hiding inside the unpolluted rainforest.

Excellent day out with the boys. Freme took care of us from beginning until end of the trip. Very knowledgeable guide with forest and safety procedures. Well fed from breakfast, brunch and actual lunch. Would highly recommend.

Best part was the longboat to get to the national Park. Unfortunately our guide was very new and had very little knowledge of the rainforest.

This is not an easy place to get to but well worth the effort. The speedboat, van and longboat journey is part of the whole experience. Unplugged, laid back,, no frills and beautiful this is the ultimate backcountry experience. The guides are knowledgeable and willing to share information. Food is simple and nicely cooked. I only wish it had been an option to do the canopy walk every day as that is the best experience of all.

Very good day trip arranged through Freme Travel. Picked up from hotel in BSB, and then fast boat trip through the mangroves to Bangar. Minibus to Freme's base camp, and then long-boat upriver to the Ulu Ulu National Park HQ. Climbed up to the canopy walk - some great views over the rainforest, but not much wildlife - probably scared off by the noisy tourists. Longboat back, and then transferred to a raft for a bit of (very gentle) white-water rafting. All in all a very enjoyable day out. Hadn't been to Temburong for over 35 years - and happily it hasn't changed much!

This patch of primary rain forest can be quite rewarding with the help of a knowledgeable birding guide. Without the guide I saw very little.

Ive read a lot of this park - huge unspoiled wilderness
In the end, the best part is just getting there!
Cram into a boat fro the city, 1 hour going through borderland waters with malaysia (fun), then you get off in another city, 20 minute car ride, then into a tiny canoe, and 40 mins upriver where you bottom out on rocks etc!
Very exciting
Once you are there, you dont see any animals, or even birds (kind of weird?) and even the high up "jungle walk" is pretty boring
Maybe its better to spent a night in the park?

I’m going on a trip to this park next week, but I am worried about taking my camera. Is there a chance the long boats may sink? I know it sounds silly, but I am nervous of damaging my camera! Thanks in advance!
No need to worry ,long boat are save, guide have waterproof bag,
Solo traveler looking for a good company and reasonable price to do 3 day 2 night trip. Don't want to sleep in a tent as I would prefer a private or even a shared room. Thanks in advance.

Hello! Is it possible to visit without a tour guide? I'm going to rent a car in Miri and drive to Brunei in May. Thanks

Thank you for your review! May I ask you, what car rental service you used? Most of them don't allow to cross international borders. Did you have any problems by visiting Ulu Temburong National Park without a guide? I don't want to pay $400 for 2 people, going to rent a car and drive myself.
