50 Best Travel Captions

Jul 03, 2023

"Take only pictures, leave only footprints." 📸

From breathtaking mountainous landscapes and charming countrysides to lively cityscapes and beautiful beaches, travel offers endless opportunities for that perfect shot. Ree Drummond once said of a throwback photo, "My tiny girls (and my tiny arms, ha) in Yellowstone in...2003? Or maybe it was 1947. Either way, it was forever ago," adding, "The girls both got sick (stomach bug!) while we were in Yellowstone, but by golly, I wasn’t leaving without this photo!"

That's the power of a picture! No matter where you roam, you'll always have the ability to look back on that moment and cherish the experience you had. And what better way to capture and share your incredible adventures than through the lens of Instagram? But let's be honest, finding the right caption to complement your travel photo can sometimes be a challenge.

That's why we've curated this list of travel Instagram captions that will take your posts to new heights. We've included nature quotes to caption your mountain (and other scenery) photos as well as beach Instagram captions. There are plenty of cute captions and funny captions for wherever else you go, too. Plus, find inspiration from song lyrics! And if you happen to grab an image at just the right time, there are even options that will work as sunset quotes and rainbow quotes.

No matter the view, these words of wanderlust will become your passport to sharing your journeys with the world. Just grab your ticket and best travel outfits and let the adventure begin!
