In evidenza
Visit a traditional Aboriginal community on the Tiwi Islands, off the coast of Darwin. Accompanied by a local Tiwi guide, you'll learn about local history and Tiwi rituals by visiting all the places of interest. Share a traditional morning tea with Tiwi Islanders before taking an art workshop taught by Aboriginal artists. Tourism is limited on the island, making this a rare chance to visit this Aboriginal community that holds on tightly to its traditions.

4A great day
We are really pleased we did this tour. We felt welcomed and loved our experience in the art centre, including screen printing. The lunch was good, including local specialties.
5This was an amazing...
This was an amazing experience. We knew nothing about the Tiwi culture and history and our guide, Trevor, explained it all very well. Loved being able to try screen printing and the girls guiding us were very patient. Lunch was delicious. The Museum was fascinating and not to be missed.
5Tiwi Islands day tour
Great day, friendly guides and staff on island, very good value for money. A very enjoyable lunch with plenty to eat. Fabulous experience screen printing a shirt. A long boat ride but comfortable.
5Great Experience with Caring and Kind People
We had a great day on the Tiwi by Design tour. It was one of the highlights of our time in Darwin. The SeaLink staff deserve a special mention for the way they handled the trip back from Bathurst Island. The return journey became quite rough, and some passengers became very unwell with seasickness. We were genuinely impressed by how caring, patient and attentive the staff were towards our fellow travellers. They stayed calm, checked on people and did everything they could to make those who were sick feel as comfortable and reassured as possible. Their kindness and professionalism really stood out and is to be commended. A very special thank you to Trevor at Tiwi by Design. Trevor was warm, welcoming and knowledgeable about his home and the Art Centre. . The screen-printing was a great way to spend a morning and one of our favourite parts of the day. It was fascinating to see how the artwork is created and to have the opportunity to participate ourselves. We loved being able to take home something that we had made as a special reminder of our day. Lunch was a real treat and was absolutely delicious! Thank you to the teams at SeaLink and Tiwi by Design for such a wonderful day. We really enjoyed ourselves and felt so welcomed throughout the experience.
5Informative and entertaining
Informative and entertaining. A great experience to visit a remote and beautiful island.
2Sorry I went.
I was incredibly disappointed with this tour. It started well going over on the Sealink, arrived at Bathurst Island to be told that the welcome ceremony wouldn't be held due to sorry business. Told that no staff were available because they all went to a funeral. Two staff did what they could with a third islander helping out with the screen printing. On leaving, one of the islanders said he would now have to go back to his community and explain why he did not attend the sorry business. I was just sorry my sister and I paid nearly $1000 to feel like I needed to apologize for being there. The organizers should have cancelled rather than going ahead and taking my hard-earned cash for a fairly poor experience. It could have been a great day but wasn't.

About Darwin
Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory, is a tropical harbour city on the Timor Sea and the gateway to Kakadu and Litchfield national parks.
Darwin lies on a deep natural harbour on Australia's northern coast, nearer to Indonesia than to most Australian cities. It was bombed by Japanese aircraft in February 1942 and flattened by Cyclone Tracy on Christmas Eve 1974, so most of the centre is modern. The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory tells that story alongside Aboriginal art and natural history.
Top-ranked sights in Darwin: Adelaide River , Magnetic Termite Mounds, Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT).
