Notes:
Due to "Bush Holidays" on the Tiwi Islands, the one day tour will be affected from 21 June - 18 July 2010. "Bush Holidays" runs for approximately 4 weeks of the year, where the Tiwi Island people take the children 'out bush' to teach them about hunting, gathering and traditional customs. This tour will not operate 21 June - 02 July 2010 due to no available Indigenous guides and minimal accessible touring content. Tours operating between 05 & 16 July will have slight changes to the tour inclusions and itinerary. Normal touring will resume from Monday 19 July 2010.
- Transfers to and from Darwin Airport are not included
- Return flight to Bathurst Island is an additional cost and must be purchased at time of booking
