Azura, Happy Trails! AsiaSarawak & Sabah
Discover the gift of nature
Borneo is an unparalleled and inspiring island where headhunters roam the jungle freely; where dragon-like birds with horns on their beaks soar the skies; and where the largest orchid in the world can be found. Malaysian Borneo is a place where religions fuse together harmoniously; where the most arboreal great ape gracefully swings through the treetops.
Sarawak, Malaysia's largest state, is also the least explored where one can spot Orangutans, Proboscis Monkeys and Bearded Pigs. The state of Sabah is home to one of the largest peaks in South-East Asia, as well as some of the most beautiful diving spots in the world. Both states have been accredited a World UNESCO Site, namely Mulu National Park in Sarawak and Mount Kinabalu in Sabah.

Planning your trip
The Seasons in Borneo
Borneo has a tropical climate throughout the year, characterized by warm temperatures, high humidity, and refreshing rainfall that keeps the island lush and green. The weather is generally consistent, making Borneo a year-round destination, especially for nature and wildlife lovers.
Dry Season
Less rain with cool breezes — the window with the steadiest conditions for trekking, diving, and river cruises.
Wet Season
Rainy and generally hotter. Higher river levels change forest conditions and access to remote areas, but bring lush landscapes and fewer visitors.
The best time to travel in Borneo is generally throughout the year since rainfall is moderate and on and off during the day, not heavily affecting outdoor activities such as hiking, diving, boat cruises and wildlife spotting. The best months for climbing Mount Kinabalu are from February to late November. July to September are considered peak months with the most stable weather, while November to February tends to be wetter, making travel more challenging but offering lush landscapes and fewer tourists for those seeking a quieter experience.
