Leisure activities
Sun worshipers and water sports enthusiasts will find Brunei to be an attractive new destination in the region with its deserted sun-kissed beaches, warm waters and gentle breezes.
Scuba diving devotees will be thrilled with the crystal-clear waters which hide such undiscovered treasures as beautiful coral reefs and old sunken shipwrecks. Brunei waters are brimming with colourful marine life and are a superb location for reef diving that is beginning to attract international attention. They are especially famous for shipwreck dives which enable divers to glimpse the relics of bygone days when Brunei served as a major shipping and commercial centre for the region.
If you’d prefer something a little bit more off the beaten track, take a boat tour to a secluded mangrove island and explore to your heart’s content. Other deserted beaches and beautiful bodies of water surrounded by rainforest and bamboo groves are easily found throughout in Brunei.
Full facilities are available for a wide range of water sports including sailing, water-skiing, windsurfing and snorkelling, Kayaks and windsurfing equipment can be hired at an hourly rate from the Royal Brunei National Windsurfing Association located at Serasa Beach.
Golf enthusiasts and beginners alike will delight in the nation’s surprisingly wide ranging variety of courses with varying levels of challenge and onsite golf professionals to help hone your game. There are over five beautiful golf courses in the country, though some of these are exclusive to members and their guests. Still, all visitors can take a swing at some of the courses for which travel agents can arrange inbound golf tours.
