Fish the Tiwi Islands & Apsley Strait

Discover the Tiwi Islands & Apsley Strait

The Tiwi Islands (known as Ratuati Irara in Tiwi language), located approximately 80 kilometers north of Darwin, consist of Melville Island, Bathurst Island, and smaller uninhabited islands.

Separating these main islands is the Apsley Strait, stretching about 62 kilometers long. This narrow waterway connects Saint Asaph Bay in the north to Shoal Bay in the south.

The Tiwi Islands are a remote paradise, enriched with vibrant culture, indigenous art and natural beauty.
