Brunei's hot and humid tropical weather stays more-or-less constant the whole year round, with lows averaging around 25 °C and highs around 32, with humidity at a constant high. Brunei is unusual in that it features not one but two archetype monsoon seasons. The first is from May through the end of June, the second at the beginning of October through the end of February. Although the rain fall tends to be short lived, it does fall very heavily. Brunei does not actually have a dry season, but February through April tend to have less rainfall than other months.

Here is a small selection of the kind words our clients have said about us recently.
Your service was excellent, and as a matter of fact we felt slightly overindulged in luxury and too well looked after at some moments.
Thank you for putting together such an inspiring trip through Indonesia. We used two different charter boats and, for one leg of the journey, a private charter flight and all were of extremely high quality.
