We are more than happy to accommodate children; however, some restrictions may apply. There is no minimum age on the day tours, however, we do recommend that people travelling with children consider whether the itinerary is suitable, in particular the activities involved and the duration of the tour, to ensure the comfort of small children. For all tour types children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

On the day tours, the fleet can vary, and mini-coaches are sometimes used to accommodate smaller groups. These mini coaches do not have a restroom or reclining seats. However, regular stops are made so you can access facilities.&nbsp;

We pride ourselves on having the finest fleet of fuel-efficient, fully air-conditioned coaches, with onboard Wi-Fi for our guests&rsquo; convenience.

Hear about the colourful history of the early mission days and learn how the Tiwi people have blended their culture with Christianity.

&nbsp;

Spend time with some Tiwi Ladies while they work on their weaving and painting. Your guides and the ladies also demonstrate their totem dances and perform a smoking ceremony to bless the visitors and explain the meanings behind them.

&nbsp;

Be taken through the successful Arts &amp; Crafts Centres and see where the artist&rsquo;s work. You also can purchase Tiwi arts and crafts and screen-printed fabric at Island prices.

&nbsp;

Learn some of the complex rituals associated with the Pukamani (burial ceremony) before being taken back to the ferry landing to re-board your vessel, departing Bathurst Island for Darwin at 3.15 pm.

&nbsp;

Wurrimiyanga Ferry Terminal

Unique learning opportunity from local guides about Tiwi culture, language, song and dance. Gained insight into the way Tiwi survives as an indigenous cultural and embracing the Christianity alongside its third religion AFL. Tiwi Islander people are very kind and generous with sharing information about their Tiwi way of life.

Tiwi Islands Aboriginal Cultural Tour

It was great seeing the culture of the Tiwi people but we ran out of time to see the museum which was a disappointment. It didn’t feel very well planned.

Good experience

Great day learning something from locals about their culture. Presenters were very friendly.
Nice mix of town tour, museum and design.

Informative day out

Lovely people on Tiwi island, we had a great day out getting to know a little about their culture 😊

Great
