About Us...

Our boutique eco-adventure guiding organisation started in 2004 by Barnaby Marris and Michaela Flood.

After a long and successful career in outdoor adventure guiding and group facilitation within the education sector, they decided to base themselves in magnificent Port Douglas, the heart of the tropical region of sunny North Queensland. They now aim to provide a unique style of personalised adventure tour for the decerning guest to the area.

Some of our exciting range of activities include... River drift snorkelling, mountain biking, sea kayaking, bushwalking, 4x4 sightseeing and we specialise in designing personalised tours to suit your holiday and budget requirements. We can even incorporate rafting and kite surfing! Many of these activities have been showcased in various travel publications, newspapers and TV shows around the world including the hugly popular travel show 'Getaway' (Click Here) . We can also be found in the latest Lonley Planet guidebook.

Back Country Bliss Adventures prides itself on its selection of remote and semi-remote wilderness locations, quality equipment, exceptional staff and the highest safety standards. We are also a fully accredited World Heritage Tour Operator.

To ensure that you get the most from your adventure package we make it a priority to provide you with the most cultural and environmental experience available. This is why we endeavour when possible to have a member of the local indigenous community accompany us on our tours and we highly recommend partaking in a cultural experience with an indigenous guide some time during your stay.

Our strong environmental philosophies and desire to educate and protect the natural world are second to none. We hope that you too will share this unique experience and help in protecting this wonderful part of the planet well into the future!

We look forward to your company on another blissful adventure!
