Curated Australian journeys
by air, land and sea

From island reefs to the Australian outback, Morris Escapes invite guests to experience the diversity of Australia’s landscapes in one seamless itinerary. Connected by Nautilus Aviation helicopter and private jet transfers, and Morris Nautical ‘s fleet of luxury yachts, each journey is individually tailored for guests seeking rare access, privacy and a deeper connection to place.

Morris Escapes Journeys invite guests to experience the extraordinary diversity of North Queensland through curated itineraries spanning six, nine or twelve nights.Begin with private island seclusion at Pelorus Private Island within the Palm Island archipelago, where days are spent snorkelling vibrant coral reefs, exploring neighbouring islands and enjoying the privacy of an exclusive-use residence.

A short helicopter flight brings you to Orpheus Island Lodge, where guided snorkelling, diving and reef exploration reveal the extraordinary biodiversity of the Great Barrier Reef.

“A journey with Morris Escapes represents a new trend of Australian luxury travel. We have created an itinerary that connects Queensland’s reef and outback by air, land and sea, all with Morris Groups’ private jet, helicopter fleet and luxury yachts, allowing travellers to experience authentically Australian experiences in one itinerary.”

– Ross Penegar, CEO Morris Escapes

Tailor Your Journey

Every Morris Escapes Journey is entirely bespoke, allowing guests to craft an itinerary that reflects their preferred pace of travel, destinations and experiences.

Choose to explore the reef aboard a Morris Nautical yacht — from M.Y. Flying Fish, M.Y Beluga to the 41-metre Benetti Oasis, M.Y. Northern Escape.

Explore the newest Luxury Lodges of Australia, Orpheus Island Lodge, immersed in the biodiversity of the Great Barrier Reef, or the complete privacy of Pelorus Private Island, an exclusive-use residence within the Palm Island archipelago.

Travel inland to Mt Mulligan Lodge, where the vast landscapes of the Australian outback offer a striking contrast to the coral reefs and tropical islands of the coast.

Journeys can be curated across six, nine or twelve night itineraries, with travel seamlessly connected by private jet, helicopter and yacht.

Morris Nautical Yachts

Calling Cairns, Tropical North Queensland home, the Morris Nautical fleet roams unspoiled waters of Queensland and the South Pacific. Offering extended overnight charters, a bespoke itinerary will highlight the best sights and experiences of these wondrous regions; allowing you to indulge in an experience like no other. From scuba diving the World-Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef, to unparalleled luxury and fine dining, Morris Nautical’s three luxury superyachts await your next ocean expedition.

Private Jet Expeditions

Seamlessly connecting Morris Escapes’ most extraordinary destinations, Morris Aviation’s Challenger 604 private jet transforms travel across Australia into part of the journey itself. With a range of up to 7.5 hours, the aircraft offers direct access between Australia’s major capital cities and international airports with North Queensland, linking Morris Escapes and Morris Nautical seamlessly.

Configured for up to 10 guests, the Challenger 604 provides a spacious cabin designed for comfort on longer journeys, including four single beds, onboard WiFi and a dedicated cabin attendant to ensure every detail is taken care of. From Brisbane or Sydney to Townsville and Cairns, guests travel directly to the gateway of their Morris Escapes journey — maximising time immersed in Australia’s most remarkable environments rather than navigating the complexities of commercial travel.
