A short island package for guests who want Timor-Leste's coast, culture, and marine life in one easy itinerary. Day 1 starts with the boat from Dili to Atauro, arrival in Beloi, a guided village walk, beach lunch, snorkeling or reef swim time, and sunset by the coast.

I had a wonderful time in Timor Leste with this travel agency! My tour guide Roberto was 🔛🔝! 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 👍🏻. Totally recommend this travel agency and this tour guide! 👍🏻

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.
