Loved the fresh lunch, museum tour and after-lunch cultural activities. It all gave us a wonderful insight into the Tiwi Islands!
The Tiwi Islands Cultural Experience is excellent value.

Our only disappointment was that the booking site says the ferry trip take 90 minutes but it actually 2hrs, 15 minutes. The tour games were excellent! This tour includes being able to see the locals paint their shells and you can buy directly from them for cash (be sure to bring cash, like we did). They also sell t shirts will local designs. You have plenty of time, as they are where buffet lunch was served and the wonderful dances and smoking ceremony happens. The Design Art shop takes a commission and sells the locals’ art for much higher prices. The museum is quite interesting and the toilets are very clean! We would love to go back again! A Bucket List item!!
Culturally uplifting experience

Interesting hearing about the Tiwi cultural and history from some colourful characters. Lunch and the smoking and dancing which followed were particularly enjoyable.

Whilst it was a long journey on the boat, the hospitality shown to us by the Indigenous community was well worth it. Lunch was lovely and our guides were great. Thank you to the Tiwis for making us so welcome.
