There is no bad time to visit Sukau from November to February is the monsoon season so a very wet time of the year to visit. While the extra rain fall does open up channels to areas that cannot be seen during the dry season extended amounts of rainfall can make it hard to spot animals or cause trips to be cancelled. The main flowering season is from April to October but the animals are out at all times of the year.
