Is December considered the rainy season for your trips. If we could pick the best time of year to visit when would that be.? do we fly to you from Singapore or Jakarta?

Kathy Wilstein, 26 Nov 2024

Yes, December is considered part of the rainy season for Kinabatangan, as it falls within the monsoon period. While the rain is usually in short bursts, it can sometimes affect the overall experience. The best time to visit Kinabatangan is typically from March to October, during the dry season, when the weather is more favorable for wildlife viewing and outdoor activities. As for flights, you can fly to Sandakan from Kuala Lumpur.
