About This Experience

A long day east along the coast from Dili. Visit the Hera mangrove restoration project, a pottery-making centre and St Anthony's in Manatuto, and stop for lunch at Laleia. Then continue to Wataboo Beach, the Wai-Usu natural spring and swimming hole, and the Seven Caves and market at Venilale, with a sunset stop at Subaun on the way back. There is a fair bit of driving, but the journey is as memorable as the destinations.

I had a wonderful time in Timor Leste with this travel agency! My tour guide Roberto was πŸ”›πŸ”! He was very flexible, teached many things from his culture and country and was over all very professional and nice. He also managed to arrange me an extra tour to Balibo on a short notice πŸ‘πŸ». Totally recommend this travel agency and this tour guide! πŸ‘πŸ»

Had the pleasure of having Vilter take me on a tour to Balibo. Saw many things on the way there and when I was there. The professionalism and quality of the tour was well worth the money. Can't recommend this service enough.
