Constantly looking up new hashtags for Instagram takes time. Too much time. But finding the best hashtags for likes on Instagram is absolutely crucial to Instagram growth.
Thus, I took the time to research 500+ travel hashtags myself over the time, constantly adding them to a grouped list. And I now decided to share the full list of travel hashtags with you so that you can easily use them for your posts!
They are sorted into smaller chunks of 10 hashtags each, so that you can easily mix&match according to your picture without having to count a lot!

How to choose the right hashtags
I won’t go too much into detail as I have already described the importance and basics of a successfull hashtag strategy in another post – so let me just briefly sum up!
Read the full guide: Hashtags on Instagram 101 – How to use them properly
There is a few basic rules about how to use hashtags on Instagram:
- You can use up to 30 hashtags (and should)
- Hashtags belong in the end of your post or in the first comment – everything else is ugly or Twitter style!
- DO NOT USE huge hashtags. No one is going to see your post under #Instatravel! Go for smaller ones like #letsgoeverywhere
- Mix up your hashtags – Instagram penalizes overuse of the same hashtag
- Include as many specific hashtags as possible
This picture is from Thailand, or more specifically, from James Bond island in the bay of Phang Nga. First, you want to use some specific hashtags, in this case something like: #jamesbondisland #phangngabay and #phuketthailand. Try to find at least 3-5 specific hashtags for your location.
You can then go a bit broader and add something from the country – check if the tourismboard has an official hashtag. In this case, I would use #AmazingThailand and stuff like #visitthailand #thailandonly or #thailandinsider.
Next step, think about the setting of the post. You want to fill up the 30 hashtags you got. In this case, from my list of best travel hashtags, I could use hashtags from the following lists:
- General travel hashtags
- Girl travel hashtags
- Nature hashtags
- Travel blogger hashtags (this trip was a blogger trip)
#jamesbondisland #phangngabay #phuketthailand #AmazingThailand #visitthailand #thailandonly #thailandinsider #thailandtravels #thailandia #bloggerlife #lovetheworld #Instatravelgram #wanderlusting #traveljunkie #traveldeeper #passportready #postcardplaces #mytravelgram #travelholic #passionpassport #nomadgirls #femaletraveler #wearetravelgirls #sheisnotlost #GLT #girlsabroad #travelwoman #cntraveler #travelgirl #solofemaletraveller
Done! So now let’s have a look at the travel hashtags I sorted for you!
Travel hashtags for Instagram sorted by topics
General Travel hashtags
So, here we go – some general travel hashtags that you can always use in the end to fill up to 30 travel hashtags. I’d suggest you first look for specific ones though – like beach hashtags or city hashtags and add a few of them. If you are a girl, definitely check the girl travel hashtags too!

Girl Travel Hashtags
Travel girls of Instagram – unite! 🙂 There is quite a good number of hashtags dedicated towards female travelers.
Generally, these tend to give me the most impressions and thus, I use a lot of those girl travel hashtags myself. Just make sure to also add a few about the location and not only tackle those! 🙂

City Travel Hashtags
If you go on a City Trip, it is usually a good idea to use location specific hashtags like #prettylittlelondon or #berlincity. On top, you can add some generic city travel hashtags I collected for you.
Researching the city travel hashtags is a lot of work? Well, luckily for you, I created a list of location specific hashtags for some important European cities already!

Beach Travel Hashtags
Who doesn’t love a nice beach vacation? Beach pictures perform really well on Instagram as people simply can’t get enought of beaches. So in case you got a nice shot at the beach – definitely throw in some of these hashtags!

Eco travel hashtags
If you are posting something about eco travel or sustainable travel – make sure that it gets noticed by people who care about these topics as well by using some dedicated eco travel hashtags!
I think it is really important to show the industry that Instagrammers really care about the environment – because this way, we can help shape the future of travel!

Sunrise hashtags
And if there is sunset hashtags, you won’t be surprised that there is sunrise hashtags as well! Some are identical to the sunset hashtags – but that’s not a surprise, given that the difference can be difficult to see anyway!

Mountain Hashtags
This is probably closely related with the hashtags for hiking above – but sometimes you might not be hiking but just enjoying the mountain panorama. In this case, why not adding a few mountain hashtags to your post?

This was wildly helpful. I had started a similar list, but just couldn’t keep up with it. The categories are a really nice touch too.
Hi Ryan! Thanks a lot! I really want to improve this list further after the input I got on Reddit!
