About Tasek Merimbun Heritage Park

Tasek Merimbun Heritage Park
 

Tasek Merimbun Heritage Park is located in the Belait District of Brunei and is known for containing Brunei’s largest natural lake, Tasek Merimbun. Covering approximately 1,610 hectares, the park features pristine lowland rainforest surrounding the lake, which supports a diverse range of plant and animal species, including rare and endemic fauna. The park is culturally significant as it contains archaeological sites, including ancient burial grounds and artifacts, connecting visitors to Brunei's indigenous heritage. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking through well-maintained jungle trails, birdwatching—particularly for hornbills and other tropical birds—canoeing on the lake, and camping in designated areas. The relatively gentle terrain combined with rich flora and fauna makes the park accessible for families and nature lovers alike. Visitor attractions include the lake itself, the Heron Island shrine, and traditional settlement sites, making it an educational destination for those interested in natural history and cultural heritage. With its protected status and careful conservation efforts, Tasek Merimbun is a top destination for ecotourism within Brunei and provides a tranquil escape from urban areas.
