提维群岛被称为微笑之岛，因其土著文化、热带岛屿风光和蓝水捕鱼而广受欢迎。
提维群岛由巴瑟斯特和梅尔维尔岛（澳大利亚仅次于塔斯马尼亚岛的第二大岛）组成，位于达尔文以北 100 公里处。
作为有组织的原住民一日游的一部分，体验提维群岛，了解受波利尼西亚影响的提维人和隔水相望的阿纳姆地原住民之间的文化和语言差异。
提维群岛以其多样化和刺激的捕鱼活动以及全年一致的条件而闻名。在当地的钓鱼小屋之一预订，或参加钓鱼探险。
沿着岛屿的海岸景观，您会看到茂密的热带雨林、沙滩和岩石池。这些岛屿的孤立和极高的降雨量意味着它们支持许多在北领地其他地方（或世界上）没有记录的物种。这些岛屿拥有世界上最大的凤头燕鸥繁殖地和大量脆弱的橄榄海龟。
从达尔文乘坐轻型飞机或渡轮穿过帝汶海到达巴瑟斯特岛即可抵达。汽车渡轮在它们之间的最窄处连接两个岛屿。

Annual football & art sale
Australian Rules football is akin to religion on the Tiwi Islands. People from far and wide come each year in March for the football grand final and art. It’s a hugely popular and very special event, and the only day of the year when permits are not required for travel to the islands.
Take the opportunity and have a truly fantastic day out. The sale venue is the Tiwi Design Art Centre on Bathurst Island. Additional arts and crafts are on sale from Jilamara Arts and Crafts and Munupi Arts and Crafts on Melville Island.
Sales begin at 9am on Sunday and conclude around 1pm when the football starts.
This is a day you won’t forget and your cheeks will be hurting from so much smiling.
Art & culture
The Tiwi people are famous for their art, which hangs in galleries around the world. Everywhere you look you’ll see art decorating schools, on carved burial poles, adorning the altar of the white wooden church and in the islands’ renowned art centres.
Visit an art centre to meet the artists, watch them paint, weave, sculpt and carve and learn the story behind their distinctive pieces. You can purchase artworks directly from the artist at reasonable prices.
Sit down with the ‘morning tea ladies’ – a group of Tiwi women elders who serve damper and billy tea. Learn how to weave pandanus and get a feel for what everyday life is like. Then witness dancing and a smoking ceremony and find out the meaning behind these traditional rituals.
Adventure, Tiwi-style
Stay at a beachfront lodge or join a guided fishing trip from Darwin to experience the Tiwi Islands’ world-class fishing. Bluewater, reef and estuary options are all on offer in this pristine environment.
Diverse coastal landscapes
Join a tour led by a local Aboriginal guide to explore the islands’ different landscapes that range from tropical rainforest to clay-like cliffs, white-sand beaches, dense jungle and inviting rock pools. Swim in the clear, shady waterhole at Tomorapi Falls.
