6 Islands About to Blow Up on TikTok—Go Before They Do

First came Iceland’s Blue Lagoon, then Zakynthos’ Shipwreck Beach. One drone shot, a catchy sound, and suddenly you need elbow pads to take a photo. If you crave that “I was here before it hit a million likes” feeling, pin these six islands now—because the algorithm is circling.

1. Lord Howe Island — Australia

View south over the stunningly beautiful Lord Howe Island from Malabar lookout. Lagoons on both sides of the island are visible, as well as the peaks of Mts Lidgbird and Gower at the far end of the island. The sky and ocean are brilliant blue.

Two hours off Sydney by prop plane, this UNESCO-listed crescent caps visitor numbers at 400. Neon-blue lagoon, twin volcanic peaks and reef snorkelling that feels like a Pixar short.

2. Holbox — Mexico

Over-water hammocks at Isla Holbox

A car-free sandbar north of Cancún where streets are crushed seashells. Every June–August, whale-shark snorkels flood #fyp feeds. The real sleeper reel is the midnight bioluminescent plankton.

3. Sifnos — Greece

White monastery of Chrysopigi on Sifnos

While Santorini sets up ring-lights, Sifnos bakes chickpea stew in clay pots. White villages spill down olive hills; Chrysopigi monastery sits on its own rock like a wedding-cake topper.

4. Flores Island — Azores, Portugal

Waterfalls cascading down green cliffs on Flores

Jurassic cliffs draped with thirty waterfalls plus crater lakes the colour of sports drinks. Only one daily flight from São Miguel means zero crowds—for now.

5. Isabela Island — Galápagos, Ecuador

Most Galápagos tours base on Santa Cruz; Isabela is the wild sibling with penguins at the equator. Marine-iguana snorkel clips are already teasing TikTok.

6. Príncipe — São Tomé & Príncipe

Golden Banana Beach on Principe Island

Africa’s second-smallest nation hides chocolate farms, black parrots and beaches so empty the sand keeps secrets. Drone footage through Roça Sundy’s cocoa ruins will put it on everyone’s feed.

Pro tip: When you post your own clips, tag quietly (#travelvids instead of #bucketlist) and switch to airplane mode before geotagging. Save the serenity for the next explorer.
