Seasons

The dry season is a good time for rafting novices to get acquainted with the sport without having to fight the currents.

Smaller rafts are used in the dry season. Only the Padas River in Sabah is recommended during the dry months as the water level is too low for rafting on the Kiulu River.

East Malaysia usually records high amounts of rainfall during the wet season and for more skilled rafters, this is a good time to ride the rapids as the rivers swell and the current becomes more powerful.
