BRUNEI
Information & Maps
As Brunei still doesn't have a Ministry for Tourism you won't
see any tourist offices in Bandar, apart from a small information
booth at the airport. This leaves local tour operators as the
city's - and country's - sole source of information. Sunshine
Borneo Tours and Travel, 2nd Floor, Unit 1, Block C, Abdul Razak
Complex, Gadong, Bandar (tel 02/441791), has dozens of leaflets
on attractions in the city and around the state. They also run
numerous tours, including a three-day excursion to Brunei's Temburong
District (B$200). Owner Anthony Chieng can offer good insights
into travelling in the state. Borneo Outdoors (tel 02/454764),
3b Kiarong Apts, Simpang, also organizes trips, while AJ Wildman
Tours, PO Box, Salambigar (tel 02/786987), has information on
the homestay programme at Iban longhouses in Temburong.
