Water Village


A trip to Labuan would not be complete if one does not visit Kampung Air (Water Village). There are two main water villages on Labuan - Kampung Bebuloh and Kampung Patau-Patau which are mainly inhabited by Brunei Malays. The houses here, which are built right at the water's edge, are made of wood and sit on high stilts, joined together with a maze of wooden walkways.
Visitors are free to roam around the vicinity of the water villages and observe the humble lifestyle of a predominantly fishing community.
Almost every house owner here has his own boat. The houses can be quite large and they all have cool decorated verandahs.
