Jaco Island, a small uninhabited island off the coast of East Timor, offers pristine beaches and clear waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Due to its remote location and lack of facilities, accessibility can be challenging, typically requiring a boat trip from Tutuala. A guided tour is highly recommended, not only for navigation but also to respect local customs and regulations regarding the island's protected status. The dry season (May to September) is the best time to visit, as the wet season can make access difficult. Expect to spend approximately $50-$100 for a day trip, including boat transportation and guide fees. A typical visit lasts for a full day, allowing time for exploration, relaxation, and water activities. Note that camping and overnight stays are prohibited to preserve the island's natural environment.
