Timor-Leste has a tropical environment at all times of the year, so light and loose clothing is best. The activities are active, with a lot of walking, hiking, and snorkeling. The weather will likely include warm days, time spent in the water, and cooler temperatures at night or higher elevations.
The essentials you should pack include:
- A small daypack for excursions.
- Swim.
- Reef-friendly sunscreen.
- Wear sunglasses and a sunhat.
- Comfortable walking shoes or runners with good grips.
- A reusable water bottle.
- Insect repellents.
- A quick-drying towel.
- Reef Shoes or Waterproof Sandals.
- A light sweater, which can be needed in the evenings or when ascending Mount Ramelau.
