A week on the road from Dili. Head west for a night inside the Balibo Fort Hotel, then see a fish farm, the Leohito waterfall and the rice fields and market at Maliana. Climb into the highlands past the Seloi Kraik rice paddies and the Dili Vanilli vanilla and coffee farm to a night at Sara's Guest House in Maubisse, with the walk to Dokomali waterfall the next morning. Finish with a day east along the coast: the Hera mangroves, Manatuto, the Wai-Usu spring and swimming hole, and the Seven Caves at Venilale. A city tour, a road trip and the highlands, all in one tour.

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.
