The 100 Best National Parks in the World for Travelers to Visit – Part 1

In this installment of the 100 Best National Parks in the World for Travelers to Visit, I am going to cover the first group of parks that I think travelers should have on their radar. Even though these are the 81-100 ranked parks on my list, it doesn’t mean these parks are any less spectacular than the parks that I have ranked higher. In fact, there are several parks in this group that I have enjoyed visiting multiple times because I love them so much. Without further ado, let’s get into the beautiful parks that I think travelers should add to their bucket lists.

The Complete Kuranda Rainforest Guide for Visitors

The Complete Kuranda Rainforest Guide for Visitors

Tucked into the mountains of Tropical North Queensland, the village of Kuranda sits surrounded by one of the oldest tropical ecosystems on Earth. Any good Kuranda Rainforest guide begins with the sheer wonder of this landscape—lush canopies, ancient plant species, and wildlife found nowhere else. It’s a place where the rainforest feels alive in every direction, from the mist drifting over Barron Gorge to the vibrant butterflies and birds that flash through the trees.
Guide to Seeing the Phillip Island Penguin Parade

Guide to Seeing the Phillip Island Penguin Parade

If you’re visiting the Melbourne area and want a fun, memorable half‑day outing, the Phillip Island Penguin Parade is a standout choice. Along this small stretch of Southern Australia’s coastline, the world’s smallest penguins have become the region’s biggest attraction. These tiny birds spend most of their lives at sea, returning to land each night to rest and feed their young. They come ashore after sunset, when predators have poorer visibility, making their nightly “parade” both predictable and safe.
The Definitive Great Ocean Road Guide for Visitors to Australia

The Definitive Great Ocean Road Guide for Visitors to Australia

When most people think of Australia, two of the most common things that come to mind are Koalas and breathtaking coastline. If visiting Australia is on your bucket list and seeing these two things are dreams of yours, then you will absolutely love the Great Ocean Road in Southern Australia. I mean, how can you not with the word “great” right in the name! Seriously though, the Great Ocean Road is much more than a coastal road, it is a national treasure. Not only does the road pass thru Australia’s iconic Shipwreck Coast and provide a look at some of the country’s most stunning coastline, but it also allows visitors to get up-close to some of Australia’s most beloved wildlife in the wild.

Your Aoraki National Park Guide: Adventures Await

New Zealand has an abundance of breathtaking national parklands, especially on the country’s South Island.  This is what has made the South Island of New Zealand one of the top destinations for travel photographers and travel adventurers from around the world.  Out of all of the beautiful parklands the country has, the most well-known may be the stunning Aoraki\Mount Cook National Park.  In addition to being the home of Mount Cook, which is New Zealand’s tallest mountain, it is also home to the Tasman Glacier, which is the largest glacier in New Zealand.

Guide to New Zealand Helicopter Sightseeing and Hiking Tours

Guide to New Zealand Helicopter Sightseeing and Hiking Tours

There are a lot of amazing adventures to be had on New Zealand’s South Island.  Milford Sound and the Milford Track is something that every traveler should experience, the city of Wanaka is home to quite a few of New Zealand’s most infamous hiking tracks, and the city of Queenstown is known across the globe as the “adventure capital of the world”.  However, none of these adventure locations in New Zealand are quite as unique or as special as the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers on the west coast of the South Island.

The Essential Wanaka New Zealand Guide

The Essential Wanaka New Zealand Guide

Wanaka’s glacier‑fed lake, wide‑open skies, and mountain silhouettes create an immediate sense of calm, making it one of the South Island’s most inviting destinations. This Wanaka, New Zealand guide begins in a place where nature sets the tone—where the stillness of Lake Wanaka meets the rugged drama of the Southern Alps. Visitors often arrive for the scenery but stay for the slower rhythm that settles in as soon as they step into town.

Rudyard Kipling, the acclaimed writer of the jungle book and travel adventurer, once called it the Eighth Wonder of the World.  That is a sentiment that is shared by almost everyone who visits Milford Sound on New Zealand’s South Island.  Famous for its towering mountains that meet the ocean to form one of the most beautiful ocean sounds that you will find on this planet, Milford Sound continues to attract droves of tourists each year.

The Ultimate Milford Track Hiking Guide for Visitors to New Zealand

The Ultimate Milford Track Hiking Guide for Visitors to New Zealand

The Milford Track may not get the press that the Inca Trail gets, but from someone who has visited both Machu Picchu and Fiordland National Park, I can assure you that both of these hikes go thru some equally stunning landscapes.  Both of these landscapes involve epic mountain ranges that are bordered by rainforests.  Just like the Inca Trail, the Milford Track takes you thru the mountains and rain forest and leaves you speechless at the beauty.
