I loved this tour. The people of the islands gave a warm welcome and a rare opportunity to experience a smoking ceremony. Islanders shared their dances, culture and humour before morning tea. Local artists helped us screen print a tea towel or t-shirt. Such warm and expert teaching. Lunch was fresh and satisfying and later we visited the museum and the famous Top End Wedding church. It was an opportunity to visit a community where culture and language are alive. Such a wonderful experience.

The early start from the Cullen Bay Marina was well worth it and the two and half hours ocean crossing to Wurrumiyanga simply spectacular - such vast blue waters. The AAT Kings Tour with Adam (our driver) and Trevor (our tour guide) was fabulous - friendly, amusing, educational, warm and informative. Loved the church (also in Top End Wedding), museum, delicious fresh lunch, art demonstration and smoking ceremony. A truly wonderful day out. Mind you the return ferry trip was a little bumpy but still very enjoyable. All staff on the ferry and tour were truly respectful, helpful and friendly.

We were welcomed with a smoking ceremony and dancing. Vivian, our excellent guide, explained everything in a friendly and easily understood way. Vivian led our guided tour of the small town with its interesting history, he made the history come alive with his knowledge of his people and their customs as well as the war time history. Lunch was fresh and tasty, we were well looked after by the friendly team at the arts centre. We particularly enjoyed the screen printing activity after lunch. The team couldn’t have been more helpful and everyone created work they could be proud of. Overall an enjoyable and relaxing day in a friendly and welcoming environment.

It was an amazing tour in a wonderfull land with really special first nation people. Especially, we met a great guide named Buffy that helps us to discover firs nation tradition, dance, culture and painting practice. Also, reality interesting was the visit to the local church and to their museum. I highly recommend booking this tour and discovering the wonderful land of Tiwi Island with its wonderful traditions!

We’ve heard so much about Bathurst and Melville Islands but didn’t realise they were actually part of the Tiwi Islands. We had a long ferry ride from Cullen Bay but it was so worth it. Rocky and Buffy were our guides that introduced us to their Smoko ceremony followed by a trip to the museum, and historical. Lunch was later got but fresh and healthy after which we did some screen printing for ourselves for keepsakes. Some T-Shirts and some Tea towels. All in all, a long day but very informative, cultures we didn’t know and went away far more knowledgeable. Definitely worth a visit.
