Timor Leste is an ocean paradise. Out of the water, beaches are varied and beautiful. In the water, colorful tropical fish abound, making Timor’s coral reefs some of the most biodiverse in the world. Snorkeling and scuba diving are a dream, here.

And the mountains aren’t bad, either. Adventures in the hills include climbing peaks, visiting remote villages, wandering to waterfalls, attending yoga retreats, and biking scenic ridgelines.

Down on the plains in Dili, a small-but-vibrant arts and culture scene keeps the capital creative. And if you have a hobby or a sport you love, you’re sure to find someone to share it with.

But really, if you didn’t come here for the ocean, you’ll love it by the time you leave. Getting in the water is one of the top things to do in Timor. A variety of dive companies facilitate scuba and free diving for experts and beginners alike, and walk-in snorkeling is easy and rewarding.

Dili might be small, but there are plenty of opportunities to find leisure-time companions, try a new activity, or create something bold.
