When to go A good time to travel to Borneo is between March and September/October, with some short burst of showers between May to July. The driest season runs from April to October but even during this season, a good raincoat is a must. The heaviest rainfall generally occurs between October and January and the lowest in between February and April. Between March and May Whale Sharks are spotted not far off the East coast as they pass through the reefs on their constant migration pattern.
