This timeframe avoids the heaviest rainfall of the monsoon season, which typically runs from November to February. You'll find pleasant temperatures, usually around 30°C, superb for exploring the city or enjoying the nearby islands. For travellers planning to visit the islands and beaches, the months of April to June are particularly good. The seas are usually calmer, making boat trips to places like Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park more enjoyable for snorkelling, diving, and relaxing on the sand. If you're interested in trekking or exploring Mount Kinabalu, the drier months from March to October also provide the best conditions for hiking.

Here, you'll find a collection of bars and restaurants, many with outdoor seating that overlooks the South China Sea. These venues typically offer a relaxed atmosphere for drinks and conversation, often featuring live bands playing cover songs. Gaya Street, or Jalan Gaya, transforms in the evenings, especially on weekends. While it's known for its Sunday market, some of its cafes and restaurants extend their hours, offering a more laid-back setting for drinks and light bites. It's less about loud music and more about enjoying a quiet evening. For those interested in a more lively experience, areas around Asia City and the surrounding streets have a concentration of KTV lounges and nightclubs. These establishments often feature DJs playing contemporary music and are open late into the night. Finally, the area around Jesselton Quay also has a growing number of establishments. ### Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
