The east coast (Perhentian, Tioman) shines from March to September, ideal for beach activities. Borneo’s weather varies, but March to October is generally drier for wildlife tours.

What to Pack: Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, swimwear, and sunscreen for the tropical climate. Modest attire (covered shoulders and knees) is required for religious sites. Comfortable shoes are ideal for exploring, and a raincoat is useful during the wet season.
