Worldwide, some 80 million images are posted to Instagram every day, making the platform a huge canvas for New Zealand and here are the top ten Kiwi visitor attractions for 2015.
Instagram has named New Zealand’s top ten visitor attractions for 2015, based on the number of images geo-tagged to specific locations.
Kiwis and international visitors shared the most pictures from Waiheke Island.
Tourism New Zealand General Manager, Australia Tony Saunders said New Zealand scenery is unparalleled so travellers love to capture the spectacular surroundings and share it with their friends and family on social media.

“Thousands of Australians head over to Waiheke Island each year to view beautiful vineyards, olive groves and beaches so we weren’t surprised to see it named the most Instagrammed spot in New Zealand.
“We get a huge amount of people sharing their photos of Waiheke Island and the rest of the country via @purenewzealand and the hashtag #NZMustDo. We love that travellers want to share their journey and the stunning landscapes.”
