3. Ecuador’s Balta (South Seymour Island)
The Galapagos Islands’ most abundant and accessible island is on the remote travelers’ bucket lists; only the most discerning travelers have access to the Galapagos’ secluded islands and archipelagos, including the island of Balta.
Famously, the Galapagos Islands are home to the giant tortoise, among other unique inhabitants, and were once impossible to reach. Today some islands are only accessible by private jet, and then a boat making Ecuador’s South Seymour island on our list of faraway destinations.
It would take a stunning 8,996 miles to get you from South Seymour Island to Australia.
4. Australia’s Kure Island
The farthest north coral atoll. This pacific island, which has only had 200 visitors in the last decade, is a bird watcher’s paradise with only a tiny unmade runway on which to land. You must not expect a trip to the gift shop at the end of your visit.
It is impossible to remain overnight on Kure Island unless you wish to try wild camping; it is strictly a day trip location and 8,507 miles away from our next stop Anodon.
