Fabulous day trip to Tiwi - A wonderful day with AAT Kings . Our driver Adam was fabulous and local guide Phelan fun , informative and was generous with sharing his culture with us . The tour included the Museum , church art centre , and the most enjoyable part , an opportunity to sit with locals and talk , participate in a smoking ceremony, face painting and dancing . Lunch was a simple but delicious salad / cold meats buffet , eaten outdoors . The ferry ride is long , but it’s a large boat with indoor or outdoor seating, snacks and drinks . The best day , I’d recommend to anyone looking to explore the Tiwi culture

Fantastic - The whole day was fantastic so informative its was lovely listening to Trevor and friends and hearing about their way of living but we would have loved to hear more! We were sad we couldn't climb the stairs to get into the church and hear the history there!

Great Experience - Sensational local guide made the whole experience memorable. Would certainly recommend it to any person that wants to expand their knowledge of our great country & it's history

Glorious Tiwi Experience - Freddy, Steel and Trevor were wonderful local guides with lovely descriptions of their culture and history. The lunch was lovely and we left feeling part of their family. The museum and art gallery were also special.

NOT TO BE MISSED EXPERIENCE - Not sure if I have already reviewed our amazing experience. My wife and I are so glad we had this experience. The First Nations people involved particularly were so friendly, helpful, and good company. The main bloke, I think he might be Freddy, was humorous and great company. We learnt a lot about their culture in an entertaining way. The boat trip was a bit choppy on the way back, but, we were all comfortable and safe. Being on the Aged Pension I initially wasn't sure if I could afford this trip, but, I will never regret it and I was so happy to be directly supporting First Nations people (especially since the shameful referendum result).

Tiwi Tales - Romy, our local Tiwi guide was wonderful. Funny, knowledgable and so willing to share his wonderful culture. Thank you from this murratani. I learnt so much and am proud this culture is part of our country.

Tiwi islands experience - Have always wanted to visit Tiwi islands especially after watching a movie called top end wedding I fell in love with the island and just knew I had to go visit on arrival we met our tour guide romolo who from the very start was welcoming and made sure we got the most out of our time on the island and was very informative on not just the island but the cultural side of things as well the only downside of the day was having to leave the island but rest assured I intend to book this tour again when I return in 2 years time thank you romolo for a wonderful day was a highlight of my trip and one I will never forget

Amazing history lesson - Amazing tour. Had no idea what to expect. Learning about the islands history and culture was an eye opener.

An excellent Tiwi Island experience with guide Freddie. - This was an enlightening snd informative introduction to Tiwi Island culture and history. Huide Freddie was excellent. He shared his broad knowledge of Tiwi Islands culture and history. Driver John was helpful and friendly. A great day thank you.

How much of my $419 gets to the community? - It’s a long and fairly expensive day with relatively low reward. I’m not sure how much of the cost flows back to the local community - if it’s a high proportion then I’d hesitate to be critical but I suspect otherwise. The boat trip each way is a full 2.5h and with extensive delays at start and end we spent only slightly more than 3h on the ground of an 11h day. The local guides put in a good effort but I suspect AAT Kings is making a good quid with minimal involvement from them and very little guidance as to how to run a rewarding tour. We were met on arrival by a bus that accommodated less than half the day’s clientele so most of us were asked to walk most of the tour. The tour itself is interesting and the community works hard to give insight into their life and culture but really, for $419 dollars it’s hard to see the value. A return ferry trip is $120.
