Our Story

Triphibian Adventures was founded in Far North Queensland, born from our passion for the outdoors. Living between the islands of Vanuatu and the wild landscapes of Far North Queensland, we’re constantly surrounded by nature’s raw beauty.

Where did it start?

We began filming and sharing our journeys with the hope of inspiring others to reconnect with nature and embrace adventure.

Our name, inspired by Amphibian, reflects our connection to land and sea. As our adventures grew across sea, air, and land, Triphibian was born

What is ‘Triphibian’?

OUR MISSION

Our oceans won’t stay full of fish forever. Sustainable fishing and learning to truly live off the land are vital to ensure future generations can enjoy nature as we have.

We believe in more than just promoting a simple, sustainable lifestyle — we’re committed to doing our part. From beach clean-ups to conscious choices that reduce plastic use, we aim to protect the environments that give us so much.

Support Small Local Businesses

We believe it’s incredibly important to support small, family-run businesses like our own. That’s why all our merchandise is proudly printed locally in Port Douglas, QLD, through a sustainable printing company — keeping our community strong and our environmental impact low.

Through our content, including YouTube, we aim to inspire people to reconnect with nature and spend meaningful time with friends and loved ones — rebuilding the human connection that’s often lost in today’s technology-driven world.

By sharing our adventures, we want to show that life is about more than screens — true happiness often comes from living simply, as we’ve witnessed in places such as the villages in Vanuatu.
