Getting here

90 minutes from Darwin

Dili is a short hop from Darwin with Airnorth, Aero Dili and Qantas. Book your flight to land by early afternoon and our team meets you at arrivals. Your expedition starts the moment you land.

We advise on the best flights; you book the airfare directly. Everything inside Timor-Leste is handled.

Why book direct

The locals who run the trip, not the middleman

International brands sell Timor-Leste trips that local teams actually run on the ground. Book direct and you get the same expertise, more time on the reef, and your money stays in Timor.

Local experts

Guides born here who know the reefs, the trails and the stories first-hand.

Better value

No international reseller margin: the same trip for less, with more diving included.

Your money stays local

Booked through Timorese operators, guesthouses and homestays: tourism that builds the country.

Short on time?
