information for visitors

getting to the centre

Arrival of visitors at the Centre depends on the boat schedule. Boats only run three times a week, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The Saturday boat is rescheduled to Sunday if there is a weekend field course for at the Centre.

From Bandar Seri Begawan, visitors take the express boat from the jetty at Jalan Residency to Bangar jetty, a journey of about 45 minutes.
