Timor Leste Trip - Dili and Diving in Atauro Island

Earlier this year we went to Timor Leste and it was one of the most relaxing trips ever! 😃
Also known as East Timor, this small independent country is only 1h30 away from Australia (Darwin to Dili)
Tourism is not developed at all and it feels like a little paradise that is only accessible to a few lucky adventurers who dare to go and explore!
In Timor you can find :
- incredible snorkeling and diving (the best corals we have seen in all our years of travelling) 🤿 🐠🐟
- Great fresh food 🥬🥥
- Friendly people 😃
- Not many tourists 🎒
- Rare and slow internet (great to disconnect!) 🛜
We loved it so much that we even looked at how to buy land over there 🤪

🇫🇷 Il y a quelques mois, nous sommes allés au Timor et c'était un voyage super relaxant ! 😃
Aussi connu sous le nom de Timor oriental, ce petit pays indépendant est à seulement 1h30 de l'Australie (Darwin).
Le tourisme n'est pas du tout développé, et ça ressemble à un petit paradis accessible uniquement à quelques aventuriers chanceux qui osent partir le découvrir !
Au Timor, vous pouvez trouver :
* De la plongée et du PMT incroyables (les plus beaux coraux que nous ayons jamais vus au cours de toutes nos années de voyage) 🤿 🐠🐟
* Une excellente cuisine 🥬🥥
* Des habitants sympathiques 😃
* Pas beaucoup de touristes 🎒
* Une connexion Internet rare et lente (idéale pour se déconnecter !) 🛜
On a tellement adoré qu’on a même regardé les prix des terrain là-bas 🤪

Hi Clem & Flav,
Loved your Atauro Island video. My wife & I are planning on going there this July. We live in Coconut Grove NT. Wondering if we could ask you a few questions before we go? Let us know.

Im watching your video from a small town near Manchester UK, thank you for visiting and share my beautiful country to the world, next time you can visit eastern side of the island special the no human live island the Jaco island, and go climb the peak mountain mount of Ramelau located in the central of the island when you fly from Darwin you can see the mountain has the same elevation with the flight attitude and you can see through your left side of the window. Definitely We need more basic infrastructure to accommodate visitors in the future, cheap convenience public transport with facilities and the most important is the cheap flight to and out from the country. Thank you for your visit and wish to see you again in the future.

[@clemandflav]

Thank you for your tips on places to go in Timor, we wanted to go to Jaco Island but didn’t make it this time. We will definitely be back to Timor to explore more of this beautiful country! 😊

Bonjour,
Vous avez dû vous ennuyer au Timor ?. J'y suis allée pour la première fois en 2016 à l'âge de 47 ans, pour rendre visite à ma mère , à mes sœurs et frères et je me suis vraiment ennuyée. C'était la première fois que je sortais de France et franchement,je regrette d'y être allé.

[@clemandflav]

Bonjour! On ne s'est pas du tout ennuyés, il faut se rapprocher de locaux qui peuvent vous montrer beaucoup de marches très sympas, et partir explorer le reste du pays! C'est aussi très réputé pour la plongée et le PMT (les coraux sont superbes et incroyablement préservés)
C'est aussi l'endroit idéal pour se relaxer en bord de mer avec un livre dans un hamac ;)

Hi! May we please ask you where you rented the car and how much you paid per day? We are looking to hire a car to go around Dili a few days before heading to Atauro, local tours are too expensive. Thanks a lot!

[@clemandflav]

Hello! We didn’t rent a car in Dili, we actually used the microlets which are local vans you can take for 25-50 cents to get around. We didn’t go outside of Dili but we heard from friends it is better to hire a driver as roads can be tricky and they will know where to take you! You could share with other travellers too!

[@HalaTimor]

You can hire a motorbike wich is more cheap, you need to ask the local they are willing to help. Car is a bit expensive as they only have 4x wheel drive due to the terain a bit challenging if you never experienced driving in hills and nerrow road.
