Tasek Merimbun is Brunei's largest lake and supports ample birdlife. Near the lake there's a small visitor centre that isn't always open. When it is you can learn all about the birds and animals that call the nature reserve home. The boardwalk offers great views of the watery expanse. You need a car to get out there.
