Creative Travel Hashtags
If the earlier hashtags weren’t speaking to you, these are some more creative travel hashtags to use. Here’s a tip: the smaller the hashtags, the easier it is for people to find your photo.
These hashtags are a little bit more niche and consequently, are less popular. But sometimes small means mighty! A creative travel hashtag means your shot will be shown for longer then it would with a more popular tag. Be sure to always use your destination hashtag and tag the tourism board for where you are travelling. You never know, maybe they’ll even repost your photo. You can also try to find the PR company that represents the destination and tag them, too.

Beach hashtags
If you’re lucky enough to be heading out on a beach vacation, make sure you throw a few of these hashtags onto your IG posts. People definitely want to see your beautiful water shots – especially if those ocean or lake shots are turquoise.
Pink and teal perform really well on Instagram. And don’t forget about wave boomerangs, even if it’s just so your followers can complain that they aren’t there with you.

Sper useful list, thank you! Hashtags are always a headache for me, I am saving this for reference!
I hate hashtag research so this is great!
It’s so loathsome, isn’t it? But finding the best hashtags does help those travel posts on IG get noticed.
This is a great list! I need to be more organized with hashtags – I tend to just post and add whichever ones come to mind!
You have a ton of hashtags listed I’ve never used. I gotta get better about using them!
It’s hard knowing which are the best travel hashtags. I think it’s good to be relevant, but also to mix them up.
