Organised Tour Options
If you would like to visit the Tiwi Islands, you need to be accompanied by a host who arranges your visitor's permit.
There are two companies that run organised tours:
- Tiwi Tours: 1-day tour to Bathurst Island (via air) or 2-day camping safari (via air). For more information: http://www.aussieadventure.com.au/titours/ti.html
- Tiwi Islands Adventure 1-day tour to Bathurst Island via the Arafura Pearl ferry. For more information: (08) 8941 1991 or email seacat@bigpond.com
Art Buying Trips
- As the Tiwi Art Network is a small non-profit organisation, it wil not run regular tours to the Islands. However, we have scheduled 9 buying trips to the art centres in 2008. (scroll down the page to see the dates)
- The buying trips are not a packaged tour, but are a way for keen collectors and enthusiasts of Tiwi Art to visit the three community art centres and view the artwork available for sale (at island prices).
Costs
The price is $600 per person and includes:
- your seat in a twin-engine charter plane (departs Darwin at 8am and returns approx. 6.00pm)
- approx. 2.5 hours at each art centre: Jilamara Arts & Crafts at Milikapiti, Munupi Arts & Crafts at Pirlangimpi and Tiwi Design at Nguiu.
- refreshments and lunch
- a Tiwi Art representative to accompany you for the day
The minimum number of clients for a trip is 4 and the maximum is 8. If you would like to join one of these trips, you will need to make your booking and pay 2 weeks in advance.
