Our 20 Most Popular Travel Photos on Instagram
We’ve become big fans of Instagram over the past year. We like it’s simplicity. We like being able to snap photos with our smartphone and instantly share them with our social networks. It really is a game changer for travellers who don’t have the time to download, edit, crop and upload photos while on the road, especially with limited or sketchy WiFi.
We know that some of our readers are on Instagram, but many are not. So we wanted to take a moment to share a few of the most popular travel photos we’ve posted on our Instagram.
If you’re on Instagram, let’s connect! Our profile is “TravelingCanucks” and can be found online here. Leave your profile name in the comments section below so we can find you as well.

Which one?
Wow! Such a great collection of photos! The Mighty Mount Pilatus in Lucerne, Switzerland is by far my favourite one!
Thanks Agness! We like that one too. It’s an incredible sight!
Beautiful photos you guys!!!
Thanks Kim! We’re glad you like them 🙂
Nice selection! We’ve been considering adding Instagram to our social media stable. Nice that you’ve found convenience and a community there!
Careful – it’s highly addictive! We’ve actually found ourselves on instagram more than facebook and twitter lately. 🙂
Sorry, it’s just way too hard to choose!
I can see why these are your most popular instagram pics:-)
Thanks Sofie! We’re happy you like the photos! It’s been fun taking them 🙂
Who knew Instagram photos could look so good? What a wide range of destinations you’ve been to since you started sharing pics on Instagram! I’m going to sound like a real stalker but Hawaii and Whistler are right at the top of my travel wishlist at the moment! I might need to bend your ear at some point on the logistics of Whistler with a toddler!
Absolutely – anytime! We go to Whistler quite often, so we can certainly help you out.
Thanks for the kind words! 🙂
Stunning! I can’t even decide which one I like best — but these photos definitely made me look forward to visiting Strasbourg next week 🙂
Thanks Julika, we’re glad you like the photos!
You’re going to love Strasbourg! It’s become one of our fav cities in Europe.
Here are some photos from La Petite France – https://travelingcanucks.com/2013/01/strasbourgs-cutest-neighbourhood-le-petite-france/
Stunning shots guys. It’s amazing what you can do with a smartphone and a decent app!
Thanks Monica! It really is amazing what a smartphone can do. We’ve come a long way since the pager!
I especially love the one of the gondola in the Swiss Alps. The rest are fantastic too, obviously!
Thanks! We like that one too.
I was put off instagram by the TOS issue that everyone was upset about awhile ago but the photos look so good! Definitely going to try it soon.
Yeah, it was a pretty sensitive issue for many. We are not photographers and do not sell our photos, so it didn’t bother us too much. We like Instagram. It’s super easy and we like the photo editing feature.
I love the Sunset before the storm shot! But all of them are amazing!
Thanks so much Christa. We happy you like the photos!
I’m so pleased to have found your blog! I’m a fellow traveling Canuck (living out of a tiny RV) but I don’t own a cell phone so sadly no Instagram. I do post photos on Facebook (facebook.com/vanessaruns) and blog about our travels (vanessaruns.com). Great post, we’ll be following!
Thanks for stopping by Vanessa! We’re glad you like the blog!
Wow that first shot of Paris is just incredible. I’m amazed some of these are taken with a phone (or tablet). I have to update my Instagram more often!
Thanks Liz! Yes, all of the photos were taken with our iPhone. We’re constantly amazed at the quality of smartphone photos. Gotta love technology!
The B&W of Strasbourg France is my fave – though not an easy decision.
Great photos!!! Check out my instagram — (amtraveltimes). I would love to follow you guys!
this is very nice photos.
Loving the Easter Island shot! Wish we were going to make it there on our RTW trip this round. We’ll get there… Next time!
Isn’t it crazy the photos you an capture with an iPhone! Sometimes I think our iPhone photos are better than our DSLR!!
Gorgeous photos! My favorite is the gondola!
Great shots guys, really like the Mount Pilatus and Easter Island…and others..ha! I should use Instagram more, definitely missing out on some cool stuff…
Wow….Really nice photos ! especially Gondola & Banff National Park 🙂
Amazing photo’s! Got the travel bug last year when I visited Bejing and can’t wait to set out on some more adventures! Peru and Egypt are on the top of my list. Haven’t read through enough of your blog yet… have you been to New Zealand?
Fabulous photos, how can I pick a favourite? Okay , I will…the Paris shot. The Galiano Island ones are pretty fabulous too. Oops! They’re not in there (^;
Seriously though…they are all gorgeous and so interesting.
Love the collection…so many fun shots! Not sure why, but I seen to have filled my instagram with food and drinks while on the road! Most of my fave travel photos are still on my big camera, but having fun with instagram! Here’s some of my travel and yummy foodie shots from the road! http://instagram.com/traveldestinationbucketlist
