    Buffy was a most stunning guide! What a wonderful representative of this spectacular island and people! It was relaxed and fun and informative . Lunch was delicious and our yarns were life changing. A great ferry trip on the way over and back too! Don’t miss this tour.

    Tiwi by Design day tour to the Tiwi Islands Had a great day immersing ourselves and learning about the culture and art of the Tiwi Islands. We all enjoyed screen printing our own Tiwi design tea towel. Thoroughly enjoyed the smoke ceremony and welcome dance, the locals so friendly and welcoming. The tour of the church (featured in the movie ‘Top End Wedding’) was really interesting and Vivian our guide for the day was fantastic a wealth of knowledge! Lunch was a selection of of sandwiches, fruit and little tasty bites was fresh and delicious. A long day but well worth it! I’d suggest making sure you have charged devices & extra battery block (especially if traveling with children), to keep them entertained on the ferry there & back as it’s a long cruise over and back.

    This is a tour for people who wish to explore the art of this area. You are straight off the ferry and into the day. The 'Welcome to Country was wonderful, it was respectful, inclusive and beautifully done. The guides were friendly, welcoming, informative and help with any issues of respect. We loved seeing how the art was created and hearing the story behind each piece.A visit to the church was a good addition to the day. Lunch was fresh and filling. Creating the screen printing was fun but ran on island time. The ferry was clean with coffee and facilities, it was bumpy both ways but we were promised by locals this is not a regular occurrence.

    Take a step out of your routine , see how it’s done Tiwi style. Learn some history on the walking tour around the community , produce your own screen print or buy some art , or do it all !

    This trip was very disorganised and wasn't what I was expecting. Screen Printing my own tea towel was fun. It gave me something to remember my trip.

    It was an interesting visit to Tiwi islands today. Ferry takes 21/2 hrs each way. It was choppy and rolling seas on way out but not as rough on way back sutting upstairs in a/c enclosed lounge was great. Welcome to country smoke dance good. The Tiwi people we met were very welcoming and friendly. Morning tea and lunch provided nice basic food. The rest of tour was something you could do yourself. Museum and church interesting. Screen printing a bit disappointing very disorganized and not really a participatory activity. I would recommend visiting the Tiwi Islands but not on tour.

    We had always wanted to visit the Tiwi Islands. This tour is not for tourists but is for travellers. This tour is for people who are prepared to experience the reality of a remote community. It is not for people who want to visit a resort style setting and have a ‘cabaret’ style performance of culture. I did the Tiwi by Design tour and my husband was self guided. At the moment the self guided options are limited due to the lack of eating options so if you goose to be self guided pack a lunch. After a welcome smoking ceremony I participated in screen printing with one of the older artists. He talked as he worked and I enjoyed hearing about his family lineage and art experience. After a fresh boxed lunch we walked to the Museum and Church with Nicolas. The museum was really interesting and the Church is a true treasure. The painting and decoration around the altar area is astounding. Tiwi Art has a big selection of carvings, painting and fabric for sale. The prices represent the skill and time invested in the work. The long ferry ride is comfortable and is a good indicator of just how remote the islands are. The Tiwi people were very friendly and welcoming and shared their knowledge. The operators of Tiwi Art were really accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.

    Waste of time and money! After a 2 1/2 hour ferry ride we hopped off walked to the nearby cultural centre where we were divided into two groups by a confused woman. After which one group did a screen print while the other group did a brief! walking tour lasting max 30 mins. Other than that we sat in the cultural centre all day doing nothing! Morning tea was freshly made damper (nice!) but highly disorganised! Lunch was adequate and consisted of boxes of sandwiches fruit and a drink. Due to poor communication between a ‘couldn’t care less’ manager and Sealink we were informed that the recently renovated museum was closed for the day and we weren’t able to visit this. Apparently the manager wasn’t informed until that morning. Seriously….! It’s a joke! A complete waste of your time don’t bother. Our strong advice would be to do your own walking tour! There’s little to see anyway.
