Official Description (provided by the hotel):: The remote Ulu Ulu Resort is the only rainforest resort in Brunei Darussalam, situated at the edge of 50,000 hectares of pristine rainforest of the Ulu Temburong National Park. A perfect destination for nature lovers, retreats, rejuvenation, meditation, team-building and personal growth programs, bird watching. The resort does not have mobile or internet reception and is void of these modern gadgets so our guests can have a total peace of mind experience to connect personally with one another. The resort also banned disposable plastic bottles replacing them with the non-profit sale of stainless steel water bottles at the resort, to minimize plastic pollution. The "must do" activities include the Sunrise Canopy Walk, the Waterfall Trek, and Night Frog Trail.Unexpected comfort in the heart of the Rain forest, at the Ulu Ulu Resort, Temburong. ... more less

“Couldn't Stop Smiling!”

Reviewed 3 April 2013

I think we had smiles on our faces from the time we boarded the boat in Bandar to when we got dropped back the next day. Unfortunately we only did 1 night/2 days (700BND for both of us, including all travel, food and accommodation). We'll definitely stay at least 2 nights next time. The speedboat through the mangroves and nipa... More

“A real jungle experience”

What a terrific and unique experience - from the longboat rides in the rain (it is a RAINforest after all!) to exploring little off-shoots of the river on foot by day and by night to climbing very high above the forest canopy up steel walkways and seeing the dawn break - Ulu Ulu is simply magical. The guides were superb,... More

“I fell more than a little bit in love with this place”

Reviewed 14 March 2013

The staff cannot do enough for you. The food is delicious. The beds comfortable, the setting out of this world, the guides are friendly and attentive and the activities were great. I just wished I had more time to just sit and watch and listen and absorb the landscape. There were hammocks and day beds and loungers all along the... More

“Adventurous and Wild”

This is one of my favourite places I have ever been to! You are picked up in the city by your local guide who is at the local Jetty in BSB. You are then put onto a speed boat and your adventure begins. It is roughly a 45 minute boat ride, followed by a short drive to a smaller river... More

“All round high quality experience”

Reviewed 21 February 2013

Ulu Ulu Resort is well worth a visit if you're in Brunei. You're picked up in Bandar, you take a water taxi across the bay and downriver, you take a bus and then connect to a long boat and go upstream on rapids. The resort itself is wonderful, built of wood and on the river with simple and tasteful bedrooms... More

“An amazing & truly unforgettable experience!”

Reviewed 4 December 2012

As part of my partner's 30th birthday celebrations, we decided to stay at the Ulu Ulu Resort for three nights/four days. The adventure started in BSB where we were collected from our hotel by our fantastic tour guide Eddy and driven to the nearby jetty. We boarded a river taxi which took us to the eastern part of Brunei, the... More

“Best adventure ever”

Went here for a night stay with Korean delegates. The ride to the resort were mixed of feelings .. anxiety (first time riding on the boat), excitement and satisfied. The resort itself is breath-taking. I am local bruneian and I love it! The night walk, the canopy walk and the tube ride back to the resort were an adrenaline rush.... More

“Peaceful resort with lovely staff”

I stayed at Ulu Ulu resort for one night and two days - although the accommodation is basic you cannot expect better whilst being deep in the rainforest. The journey getting there is amazing on the long boats and a trip you will never forget, you do feel cut off from the rest of the world but this can be... More

Dear bee075, A big hello from the Brunei rainforest! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed yourself while you stayed with us, and for taking the sunrise canopy walk! It is a wonderful sight, and one I never get tired of. The bats do sometimes have a little too much fun at night but we are looking for a way... More

Did the two night/three day trip with daughter and were the only guests in the resort. Eddy the guide did an excellent job and went out of his way to make our experience individual and special.

“Peaceful World”

Reviewed 22 August 2012

Excellent place for connecting with the nature. Resort is comfortable but probably needs some maintenance. Boat Travel from Batang Duri to Ulu Ulu is wonderful experience. There is a Suspension Bridge to connect the resort with the jungle with Canopy Walks. Bridge was broken and will probably take 2-3 months to repair. Currently, you need to take boat to cross... More
