      TravelerWritten May 2024

      We are 2 female friends looking for driver/guide, transport, accommodation and some meals in East Timor. We are interested in Com, Jaco Island and Atauro Island for an overnight. We definitely would like to do a whale/dolphin watching excursion. Can you share accommodation options at different standards?

    • Crooked CompassOperatorWritten May 2024

      Let me speak with our local team in Timor and put this together for you. As this is a private tour, we need to manage this outside of the Tour Radar system.
