gai0609 Gailani MAjeni Post Count: 7 Msg: #1 24 weeks ago, July 2nd 2009 | Hello, | Will it be a good idea to go to Sabah or Serawak during the December school holidays ? Are these places affected by the monsson season ? We usually travel in 2 families. 4 adults and 6 kids. We are torn between these 2 places as we've never been to these parts of Malaysia. Which would be a good place to go that both kids and adults will enjoy. Our preferences would be: 1. Beach resorts with snorkling places. 2. River cruise to experience Borneo beautiful nature. 3. Waterfalls adventure which would be safe for the kids to play in. 4. Shoppin for local soveniers. Thanks in advance. Your inputs would be much appreciated.

It's quite hard to advise which state to visit as all states that make up Malaysia has their very own uniqueness and beauty, regardless of the December school holidays. Nevertheless, do book tours earlier to avoid travelling with a huge crowd. Whatever your decision maybe, I'm sure you'll have a great time in Borneo. Have a great trip.

What I'm afraid is if it's affected by the monsoon then the weather will be wet most days and many of the activities there will not be available. Charlie76 Charles Post Count: 74 Msg: #4 24 weeks ago, July 2nd 2009 | It's quite unpredictable, really. But I think I can safely assume it'll still be the dry season with occasional showers in late afternoon / early evening. Do check on the weather channel for up to date climate. That way you can plan ahead on what to do at your intended travel destination. | [Edited: 08:05 - Charlie76 ] gai0609 Gailani MAjeni Post Count: 7 Msg: #5 24 weeks ago, July 2nd 2009 | Thanks Charlie. | Much appreciated.

Now, regarding your trip questions: 1) I would suggest Sarawak for River Cruise .. 2) Mulu National Park. There is no waterfalls but lovely place to relax and enjoy. 3) Sabah for snorkling, Sipadan Island will be the best place. Please refer to this fourm, iam sure it will help you: Sabah or Sarawak, please advise Enjoy Malaysia ;) gai0609 Gailani MAjeni Post Count: 7 Msg: #7 24 weeks ago, July 2nd 2009 | Hello Ray, | Thanks for your inputs. Much appreciated. We would probably shoot for Serawak. I would love to do both states at one go but since we are also travelling with the kids it may be a little challenging. Anyway, it will give me a good reason to make another trip to Borneo next year :) I'll chk out the links that you provide. Thanks bro.
