Overview

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.

I enjoyed the entire experience - the ferry ride, welcome ceremony, morning tea, tour and history of the islands, lunch and the screen printing. All of the people involved in the tour were fantastic. The artists spent a lot of time ensuring our screen prints were works of art.

I did this tour today and it was fantastic. The tour combined a great mix of experiences including the history of the island, the cultural background and making our own screen prints. Everyone involved in delivering the tour experience was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We had enough time to choose and create our screen print with fantastic input and guidance from several screen printing artists. It was interesting to see the different items produced by our tour group. I thoroughly enjoyed the day.
