I booked a private tour to do snorkelling in Atauro Island on June. The tour fee is US$124 per head (very expensive). When we got to Atauro, did some visits and waited to do snorkelling. The staff said it was dangerous to do snorkelling so they can't let us to go as we were not a good swimmers. They asked us to get on the boat immediately (!) and went back to Dili. The guide was emotionless and he said we could discuss the refund issue with the owner. We waited for three hours to get on the boat ( no idea why urge us on board so early) . And when we got back to the Tour office, they said it was because of the weather so they can't give us any refund! OMG. What an excuse. At least they should give back us the cost for snorkeling. So we pay $124 just for the transport, a simple lunch and unprofessional guide, the tour even stopped early than it promised! What if everyday bad weather? The management is super irresponsible! The worst experience for a local tour I have ever had so far. Please think twice before you book any tour on them.

Four of us took booked this tour as a day trip from a visit by the cruise ship Maasdam. After booking, I corresponded with Mrs. Miller and she found us a birding guide, Jafet Potenzo Lopes, for our trip--in addition to our excellent driver, Andre. Potenzo took us to good forest habitat in the mountains above Dili (over 4400 feet), but the hard rain on the day made for difficult and frustrating birding. After a good lunch in Ailou, the rain subsided and we were able to find birds in various patches as we descended from the mountains. If I come to Dili again, I would do this again.
