Timor-Leste Travel and Tours

I highly recommend Manny Timor Tours. They were professional, friendly, well organised and reliable. Our group of ten (including kids and older adults) did day tours to Dili, Maubisse and Aileu. They were flexible, accommodated extra stops, and extended transport when needed. Lito (aka Manny), Carmen, Alex, Joko and Erni were all a pleasure to deal with.

Established in 2005, Eco Discovery are one of the longest running and most reputable tour operators in Timor-Leste. They are Timorese owned and operated. I’ve been on multiple trips with them, from day adventures, to an 8 day epic crossing the country on foot. They are well organised, responsive, and know Timor-Leste as well as anyone. They can organise pretty much any type of trip, and have the greatest experience of any Timorese operators in running hiking trips.

I’ve used Compass Diving multiple times for diving, snorkelling, transport, accommodation on Atauro, and whale watching. They’re always friendly, professional, and safety-focused. They catered wonderfully to my whole family—from my 70-year-old dad to my 10-year-old. Accommodation was basic but comfortable, food was great, and staff were knowledgeable and welcoming. We’ve had fantastic experiences and would definitely return.

I did both a snorkelling trip and my PADI open-water certification with Dive Timor Lorasae. The team made booking and scheduling easy. Giovanni, a marine biologist, led an amazing snorkel trip, and Selina was a patient, knowledgeable instructor for my dives. The reefs were pristine and uncrowded, with incredible biodiversity. We had delicious lunches (including vegan options) during full-day trips to beautiful dive sites. I’m so happy I got certified here—huge thanks to Selina and the team for an unforgettable experience!
