Brunei Drop - Brunei Tourism
Under The Sea Brunei has golf courses to accommodate the most committed of golfing enthusiasts, so we hope you brought along your golf set! Green fees in Brunei is comparatively cheap, so if you’re looking to play a round of golf or maybe just spend some time on the putting green, this is the place for you.

A 15-minute catamaran-ride will bring you to beautiful reefs like Brunei Patch and Clownfish Avenue while the wreck dives are scattered between Brunei and the Malaysian island of Labuan. The shipwrecks are teeming with sea life and as you weave over the decks, you’ll swim alongside cardinalfishes, yellowtailed barracudas, peacock groupers and red snappers. Local dive operators have activities packaged for the experienced and new divers, but if you prefer activities above water, they have options of water sports and activities.
