Before visiting the island, please read our Traveler Pledge to learn more about what you can do to keep Ataúro pristine and respect local cultures and traditions. Avoiding single-use plastic, refraining from purchasing handicrafts made from turtle shells or mangrove roots, and dressing respectfully in public and on beaches are just a few of the things we ask visitors to adhere to. Ataúro has one of the most unique local marine protection systems in the world—called tara bandu—that locals use to protect reefs from over-fishing by charging snorkelers and divers $2 for swimming in the protected area. The people of Ataúro work hard to keep the island a perfect paradise, and we ask that you do so too!
