Intrepid back to East Timor
MELBOURNE – Intrepid Travel will again operate trips to Timor-Leste in 2010 after a four-year hiatus.
The move has been welcomed by the country’s president, Jose Ramos-Horta.
Co-founder and CEO of Intrepid Travel, Darrell Wade said, “Timor-Leste is a close neighbour and we feel it is important to support the Timorese people in their efforts to grow their economy.
“We will again be visiting a country that our passengers very much enjoyed travelling in. It has a great blend of Portuguese and Indonesian influence that creates a fascinating cultural experience.”
The average customer rating for the trips Intrepid Travel previously ran in Timor-Leste was 4.8 out of 5. This rating comes from the passenger feedback at the end of the trip.
East Timor trip highlights include Balibo, a guided city tour of Dili and its markets, a trek to Mt Ramelau, lush rainforest around Suai, a stop at Atauro Island to support the local community, and a visit to Manututo where former Timor-Leste president Gusmao was born.
The small group adventure is 15 days in duration and priced from A$1740 plus local payment (or a total price of approximately AU $1979 subject to exchange rate fluctuations).
There will be two departures from July 2010. To register interest agents can call Intrepid Travel on 1300 360 887 or visit www.intrepidtravel.com/trips/pst
