Mysaffy Atauro Island Adventures & Backpackers is an independent adventure crew on Atauro Island, 25 kilometres and a ferry ride north of Dili, based in Beloi a hundred metres from Atauro port. Atauro's waters hold the highest fish biodiversity of any reef on the planet (Conservation International, 2016), at the heart of the Coral Triangle, with the Wetar Strait — the Cetacean Highway — out front. Our own experienced Timorese team runs scuba diving across more than 20 dive sites, guided snorkel trips, whale and dolphin tours, ridge hikes up Mount Manucoco, kayak mornings and cultural walks. Stay with us in our backpackers hostel or private rooms, steps from the pier. One enquiry, one quote — we bundle the activities, sort the boat ticket from Dili, and meet you at the pier.
