East Timor - Díli

Overview

Timor-Leste, also known as East Timor, is located in the eastern half of the island of Timor and includes the small islands of Ataúro and Jaco as well as Oecussi – a small enclave on the north-western side of the island.

There is a feeling of untouched wilderness and natural beauty to Timor-Leste, with its coffee plantations, rice paddies, rugged mountain ranges, tropical rainforest and hundreds of kilometres of coastline.

The fringing reefs of Timor-Leste lie within the Coral Triangle. This area is the vital hub of coral and fish diversity, and the reefs are immaculate, teeming with a vast array of marine creatures. It has recently been discovered that the most bio-diverse waters in the world in terms of reef fish are in Ataúro.

Get lost in the incredible world of whales and dolphins, which can be spotted year-round, but are particularly abundant between October and December. If you are going to Timor-Leste for the whales, keep an eye out for blues, humpbacks, short-finned pilots, beaked, orcas and melon-headed and pygmy killers. While you’re there, see if you can spot the various types of dolphins that grace the waters.
