Why There is More to Atauro Island Than Just Diving

If you are looking for great dive spots in Asia, Timor-Leste's Atauro Island will undoubtedly make the list. It is home to a number of dive sites that offer a peek at its diverse marine life. These dive sites include Haruina, Watuai, the Coral Garden, Adara Wall, and Vila.

The highest point of Atauro Island, Manucoco Peak is 995 meters above sea level. A mountain considered sacred by the locals, those who are interested to hike and reach the peak must do so with a guide.

It is likewise a good place to do some bird watching. This is because 14 restricted-range bird species call the place their home.
