Tiwi Island Day Tour from Darwin

Visit a traditional Aboriginal community on the Tiwi Islands, off the coast of Darwin.

You can choose to take an art workshop taught by Aboriginal artists, or share a traditional morning tea with Tiwi Islanders. Tourism is limited on the island, making this a rare chance to visit this Aboriginal community that holds on tightly to its traditions.
