Local Morning Market & Water Village Tour

Package Information

The tour starts with pick up from your hotel and drive to the morning local market in the capital city or locally known as “Tamu Kianggeh” located on the banks of Kianggeh River. The permanent market location was opened in the 1980’s marking the stop of floating market in Brunei. Prior to this, the traders will sell their products from their boat.
Most of the traders at this market are women and senior citizens from the water village selling an array of traditional cooked food and raw cooking materials from local rice, fruits, vegetables and traditional herbs for medicinal use. Handicraft enthusiasts will find various local handicraft items on sale as well. Your tour guide will brief you about the various local medicinal herbs and usage of various plants in the local ceremonial ceremony.
Then, you will be taken on a local water taxi ride to the other side of the river where you will be taken on a walking tour of the village on stilts. You can have a brief experience of how it feels to live in a village built on stilts above the Brunei river. Feel free to chat with the friendly local villagers and don’t be surprised if you are invited for tea by some of the locals in their home.
Then we will take another water taxi to go back the capital city and your tour ends with transfer back to your hotel.
