Quick answer: tour packages in Timor-Leste, and what they cost

22 multi-day tours and packages are bookable on Rezerva right now, from 2 to 10 days, run by Mysaffy Atauro Island Adventures, Island Explorer Holidays, MaunTimor Guide and Eco Discovery Timor-Leste.
Prices run from US$50 to US$1,888 per person, set by the operators themselves. Most need at least 2 or 3 travellers to run.
Island Explorer's 5-day tour of Dili, the Maubisse highlands, Lauhata beach and Baucau costs US$1,776 for two. The same route booked piece by piece, with a hired 4WD and driver, comes to about US$1,243 for two, without the meals, entrance fees and planning the package includes.
The longest drives are Dili to Balibo (3 hours 30 minutes) and Com back to Dili (7 hours), as Island Explorer plans them.
Best season for a road trip: the dry months, May to November. Roads to the highlands and the east get slow and slippery from December to April.

Every multi-day package, side by side

Tour prices in Timor-Leste are usually quoted by email, one enquiry at a time. These are every bookable package on Rezerva at the price its operator set, and the table updates itself when they change it.

Prices are the operators' own, in US dollars, and exclude international flights. What a package includes (rooms, meals, entrance fees, the Atauro boat, airport transfers) differs from one to the next: each package page lists it in full. Free cancellation up to 48 hours before, as on every Rezerva booking, unless the package states its own dates policy.

Package or do it yourself? A worked example

Take 5-Day Timor-Leste Tour: Dili, Highlands & Baucau from Island Explorer Holidays: Dili, the Maubisse highlands, a night at Lauhata beach and Baucau. Here it is for two people, as a package and booked piece by piece on Rezerva, at today's prices.

Do it yourself, for two

Hotel Timor, Dili: 2 nights	US$236
Sara's Guesthouse, Maubisse: 1 night	US$30
Lauhata Beach Escape, Liquica: 1 night	US$97
Full Size 4WD from Timor Cars: 4 days at US$140	US$560
Driver: 1 day in Dili at US$35, 3 days outside Dili at US$55	US$200
Fuel: about US$40 a day for the 3 days out of Dili	US$120
Total for two	US$1,243

Not included: meals, entrance fees, a SIM card, the airport run on the last morning (a taxi is US$10 to US$15), and someone who has planned each day. One room for two at each stay's lowest listed rate; your dates may cost more. The package's beach night is at the resort it calls Lauhata Beach Resort. Lauhata Beach Escape is the stay at that beach you can book on Rezerva, and may not be the same place.

See the package

Booked piece by piece, the car, driver and rooms come to about US$533 less for two. What the difference buys is the meals, the entrance fees, the airport run and a day-by-day plan from people who drive the route every week. If you would rather set your own pace, hire the car and driver and book the stays below; if you want it handled, book the package.

Somewhere in between: in the tour builder you choose the days, the places and how many are travelling, and see the price of a private tour with Island Explorer Holidays' driver-guide, hotels and entrance fees included, before you ask for it.

How long the drives take

Distances in Timor-Leste are short and the drives are not. These are the driving times Island Explorer Holidays plans with, checked October 2026. Allow longer for stops, rain and slow trucks.

Leg	Driving time
Dili to Maubisse	2 hours 30 minutes
Maubisse to Hato Builico (Mount Ramelau)	1 hour
Dili to Baucau	2 hours 30 minutes
Dili to Balibo	3 hours 30 minutes
Balibo to Maliana	45 minutes
Com to Dili	7 hours

Atauro is a boat ride, not a drive: see the Atauro ferry timetable. Com and Jaco Island are a long day east of Baucau; the Jaco Island guide has the road in detail.

Where you sleep on these routes

Outside Dili the choice is small: a guesthouse or a homestay in most towns, a hotel in a few. These are the stays you can book on Rezerva at each overnight stop, the ones the packages use first.

Common questions

How much does a tour package in Timor-Leste cost?

Multi-day packages on Rezerva run from US$50 to US$1,888 per person, depending on length and party size. Overnight road trips, to Balibo, Maubisse, Mount Ramelau or Jaco, start at US$160 per person. A 5-day tour is US$888 to US$988 per person. The longest, 10 days, is US$1,888 per person. These are the operators' own prices, and none includes international flights.

Is it cheaper to travel Timor-Leste on my own?

Usually, if you count only the car, the driver and the rooms. Our worked example puts the 5-day highlands and Baucau route at about US$1,243 for two booked piece by piece, against US$1,776 for the package. The package adds meals at most stops, entrance fees, a SIM card, the airport transfer and a day-by-day plan from people who drive the route every week.

Do I need a driver in Timor-Leste?

You can self-drive: a 4WD costs US$120 to US$140 a day. Traffic drives on the left and cars are right-hand drive. Bring an International Driving Permit with your home licence. Most visitors hire a driver for anything beyond Dili, because the mountain roads are narrow and unsigned and conditions change after rain. A driver costs US$35 a day in Dili and US$55 a day outside it, on top of the car.

When is the best time for a tour of Timor-Leste?

The dry season, May to November. Highland mornings are clear and the roads east and into the mountains are at their best. From December to April rain slows the roads and can close the track to Hato Builico, so packages run but drive times stretch.

Can a solo traveller book these packages?

Most multi-day packages run from 2 or 3 travellers, and the price per person assumes that party. If you are travelling alone, send an enquiry from the package page: operators sometimes add a single traveller to another group, and our Join a Trip board lists departures that are open to sharing.

Do the packages include flights and visas?

No package includes international flights: you fly into Dili, under 2 hours from Darwin or Bali. Some include the airport transfer, a SIM card or the Atauro boat; each package page lists exactly what is and is not included. Check the entry rules in our visa guide before you book. Flights to Dili.
