Pulau Sibu - Best time to go

 

As Pulau Sibu is located close to mainland, resorts here are open all year round. Apart from the monsoon season which recently has been pretty unpredictable from November til end-january, anytime is good. Book early though for trips during Public Holidays.

Here are some helpful tips from Jo-ann and Malcom of Rimba Resort on what to watch out for:

 

• Have Malaysian Ringgit handy on arrival for jetty and parking fees, as well as the use of the washroom at Tan Jung le man jetty.

• Jetty Fee / RM 4.00 per person / ticket to be purchased at the jetty counter
  and given to the security guard when boarding at the jetty entrance.

• Parking Fee / RM 8.00 per car per day

• Dress accordingly for boat rides, as you can get a little wet / please use life jackets provided.

• Pack lightly / sport bags and small backpacks are recommended rather than suitcases.

• It is wise to bring along insect spray as the mozzies are out at sunrise and sunset.

• If you are sensitive to sand flies or intend lying on the beach, use sun tan oil or anything oily i.e. baby oil to protect your skin.

• Trainers are recommended for jungle trekking.
