Good to know before you book
- Best for travellers aged 12+ who love the water. Snorkelling suits everyone; diving needs an open-water certification (or book a try-dive). Atauro lodgings are simple and island-paced, with a power cut from roughly 10pm until morning — bring a torch. You will often have the reef to yourselves.

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! 👍🏻
