Pulau Selirong

Pulau Selirong merupakan pulau yang jauh di hujung Brunei. Perjalanan kami mengambil masa 20 minit dari Pulau Keingaran menuju ke Pulau Selirong. Pulau Selirong ini terkenal dengan pokok-pokok bakau dan juga habitat bagi binatang liar seperti bangkatan. Ikan sumpit-sumpit juga terdapat di kawasan ini. Akan tetapi Pulau Selirong terletak di bawah jagaan pihak atasan, dan kerana itulah juga pulau ini dilarang untuk sesiapa memasukinya dan hanya memerlukan kebenaran yang tertentu sahaja.

Stairs, stairs, stairs – these make Bukit Subok’s 2 kilometre circuit hike an ideal cardiovascular workout. Take it slow when stairs are wet, and when enjoying the views of Bandar Seri Begawan, Kampong Ayer and the mountainous interior of Borneo.

Lovely day for hike and trails! It was a short hike but a challenging one especially climbing the hill - the hill was steeper than Bukit 1 of Bukit Shah Bandar.
