SeaLink Northern Territory - Tiwi Islands
Just a 2.5-hour ferry ride north of Darwin, SeaLink NT opens the door to the Tiwi Islands, a vibrant and welcoming community in the Arafura Sea.
Known for their striking art, strong community spirit, and passion for football, the Tiwi people invite you to experience their island home, rich in culture and tradition.
The signature Tiwi By Design Day Tour takes you to Bathurst Island, where your experience begins with a Welcome to Country, smoking ceremony, and totem dance performance. You’ll then explore Tiwi Design Art Centre, watching artists at work, learning traditional screen-printing techniques, and creating your own textile souvenir. The day includes a visit to the Tiwi Catholic Church, adorned with remarkable Tiwi artwork that offers insight into the coexistence of Catholic and Tiwi traditions.
SeaLink NT’s Tiwi experiences offer you a rare and enriching opportunity to engage with one of Australia’s most distinctive Aboriginal cultures.
