Travel and Transport in Brunei

Sea

There are boats between Brunei and Pulau Labuan in Sabah and Limbang in Sarawak. These boats operate from the Muara Ferry Terminal, 25km northeast of BSB. There’s also a boat service running between BSB itself and Limbang.


Land

The main overland route to the west is between Kuala Belait in Brunei and Miri in Sarawak, which is a straightforward journey by bus or taxi.
It’s also possible to travel between BSB and Limbang and Lawas in Sarawak and onward to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, but it’s an extremely time-consuming and fiddly journey.
If you’re heading to/from Limbang or Kota Kinabalu, we recommend going by boat.


Air

Brunei’s sole airport is 10km from the centre of the capital. The national airline, Royal Brunei Airlines (code BI; 221 2222; www.bruneiair.com), has direct flights between BSB and major Asian destinations such as Jakarta, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Manila, as well as flights to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah. Malaysia Airlines (code MH; 222 4141; www.malaysiaairlines.com), Singapore Airlines (code SQ; 224 4901; ­www.singaporeair.com) and Thai Airways International (THAI, code TG; 224 2991; www.thaiair.com) also fly into BSB.
