The 50 Most Unforgettable and Hilarious Vacation Experiences

What a view

This is what you’d describe as an ideal photograph. A stunning girl in a stylish bikini, flaunting a perfect beach body, set against a beautiful natural backdrop are the essential elements for a remarkable photo. This picture could easily be featured on a holiday card. It gives the impression that the girl has just resurfaced after enjoying a refreshing dive in the water. With such crystal clear water, who wouldn’t be tempted to dive in? Let’s hope the water wasn’t too cold and definitely not shark-infested. The girl hasn’t removed her breathing apparatus, suggesting she might be planning to dive back in soon.

What’s going on here?

There are so many things wrong with this picture. The girl is literally riding the man like he’s a horse. The guy is wearing a weird horse costume, but honestly, that outfit seems more like something from the movie Fifty Shades of Grey. We aren’t sure if other people at the beach would get this couple’s sense of humor. They will surely be afraid of them. The girl might remember this photo for many years, but we are sure this is one photo the guy will want to forget in the future.

Discovering Treasure

We must acknowledge this woman’s creativity. She dug a hole at the beach, placed the camera inside, and it appears that she is standing upside down over the hole. Although it might seem challenging, this has resulted in a fantastic Instagram-worthy photo. It’s a stunning and attractive picture featuring a beautiful woman and an ideal background. Everyone should learn from her about taking beach photos from now on. We’re sure that the next time we’re at the beach, we’ll definitely try something similar.

May I get you a drink?

This dog seems to be having a wonderful time at the bar. It’s unclear whether it’s just the camera angle or if the dog’s owners actually positioned him like this, but it looks both amusing and sophisticated. This dog truly seems to be quite the character. The drink in the picture adds to its comedic appeal. No one ever said that holidays are only for humans; animals can also have fun and enjoy themselves, and that’s exactly what this dog appears to be doing.

Beach Acrobats

If we had known this is what acrobats do at the beach, we would visit more frequently and join them. It appears to be a unique and enjoyable way to spend time at the beach. It’s evident that this girl is excellent at balancing her body on her hands and isn’t concerned with others’ opinions. We can only imagine that spectators were impressed by her performance. She has an ideal beach body and it seems like she works out, so it’s no surprise she can balance herself like that.

Proceed at Your Own Risk

Europe’s largest street festival will culminate today with hundreds of thousands of party-goers and brightly-costumed performers gathering in the capital for the highlight day of the Notting Hill Carnival.

Before we explain this picture, it’s very important for us to note: “please don’t attempt this; EVER!” These officers seem to have a sense of humor, but not all officers will be as forgiving as these two. If you start dancing provocatively next to an officer, there’s a high chance you could be arrested. We believe this girl may have informed the officers of her intentions before the picture was taken. She has created a moment she can share with friends for many years to come.

This photo seems as if it were taken from a Baywatch trailer. With flawless skin and a perfect beach body like that, it wouldn’t surprise us if she were actually from Baywatch. This surfer is getting ready to tackle the waves. Perhaps a big wave is coming, and she doesn’t want to miss this opportunity. Whatever the reason, this moment was captured and turned out to be a poster-worthy photo. We can only hope that her surfing skills are as impressive as this picture.

Let’s Sunbathe Together

It is clear this wasn’t an organized activity between friends. Judging by the scene, it looks like the sea lion was enjoying a wonderful sunbathe when the woman attempted to befriend it by joining the sunbathing session. Their positions show great symmetry. Both are lying on the sand with their heads turned to one side in an almost uncanny resemblance. This certainly seems like the beginning of a new friendship, and we hope they went out for drinks after the sunbathing concluded.

The monkey is aware of the situation.

That bikini is one of the most stunning we’ve ever seen, but we’re certain that the monkey isn’t focused on the lovely bra but rather what’s behind it. Not to stereotype, but that is definitely a male monkey. The woman in the photograph is very beautiful, and her uniquely designed bikini adds to the picture’s appeal, but it’s the inclusion of the monkey on her shoulder that steals the show. She appears to be at ease with it. How many people can claim they made friends with a monkey upon first meeting?

The Blurry Backflip

What is the main subject of this photograph? Is it the man performing an adventurous backflip into the clear blue water, or is it the woman sitting atop the hill? It’s certain that different individuals would focus on different aspects of this photograph. Beyond the two people in the picture, one can’t help but admire the scenery. The water appears immaculate, resembling a private pool that is cleaned daily, but it’s not actually a private pool. The touch of greenery in the background also enhances the aesthetics of this photograph.

The Perfect Shape

Have you ever seen a more ideal beach physique? This photo seems to be taken spontaneously rather than staged. The girl in the picture is trying to take a selfie with her phone. She’s sitting on her toes with her heels lifted to avoid the hot sand. She’s wearing a black bikini with a blue top, making for an amazing color combination. Her flawless skin and stunning hair are worth noting as well. It wouldn’t be surprising if she were a model visiting the beach for a professional photo shoot.

When a Sea Lion Has More Luck Than You

Vacation photos can sometimes turn out quite odd, and this one fits that description. While most people might find it amusing, others could view it as inappropriate. It’s evident that the girl has a unique bond with the sea lion, or perhaps she’s a zoologist who is skilled with all kinds of animals and marine life; we can’t be certain. However, it’s apparent that this sea lion is more fortunate than many men. The girl appears to be at ease, which might indicate she is the sea lion’s trainer. Regardless of the reason, we’re sure this picture has made many people envious.

The Camel Will Recall This Summer

It seems like all the camels are arranged to kiss her. Something about this feels off. We aren’t exactly sure what’s happening, but it appears to be a professional photo shoot rather than a private one. It seems more like a desert than a beach, and since there are camels in the picture, it’s likely taken in a desert. Whatever the case, it’s an excellent photo. The setting is impressive, the backdrop is set, the girl is in a beautiful dress, and everything is just right.

The Ostrich Agrees With This

We believed this could only be seen in cartoons, yet here we are. This person is genuinely riding an ostrich. There’s even a saddle with support to ensure he doesn’t fall off. Nonetheless, it’s all fun since the ostrich seems to agree with it. They are both making the same expression, and we’re thankful the photographer captured this moment. The guy certainly appears proud of this moment, and we’re sure he would display this picture in a frame at his office.

The Iconic Titanic Stance

Anyone who has ever been on a ship or cruise knows the temptation to recreate the Titanic pose with a partner. But what if you’re traveling solo? Rose needed Jack for that famous pose, but you don’t need Jack to complete your Titanic pose. Although this girl is facing the wrong way, we would still count it as a Titanic pose because she’s standing at the front of the boat, and we assume that’s what she was trying to achieve. Regardless, she pulled it off really well. We absolutely love this photograph.

Inverted

This woman was demonstrating her backflip abilities at the beach when one of her friends decided to take a picture. What’s special about this photograph is that it captures the girl in midair during the backflip. She is completely upside down, and you can see another woman standing to the side, feeling proud of her friend’s acrobatics. We just hope the girl didn’t get hurt while backflipping. Regardless, she would have become the most popular girl on the beach that day. With talents like being able to do a backflip in a bikini, we can only imagine how skilled she might be at bikini rock climbing.

Rock climbing in a bikini

As the name implies, bikini rock climbing is rock climbing while wearing bikinis, enjoying a great time. It typically takes place on hills near beach areas. In this photograph, there are three girls attempting to climb rocks, but it seems like the girl already climbing loves the adventure, while the girls at the bottom appear more worried about her falling. Or they might be waiting for her to reach the top so they can follow her up. Regardless, it looks like a very fun activity.

Attack by a Shark

It appears to be the prop shark from the movie JAWS, but it still seems like a risky move. What if the shark’s mouth closes? The girl could get hurt. We can only hope she knows what she’s doing. She looks very attractive in that bikini, so maybe the shark thought he had a chance. Nonetheless, it certainly resulted in a great photograph for her to frame and display. It would make for an excellent conversation piece.

He will regret this.

There are numerous potential problems here, not only for the girl but also for the guy. The guy appears to be suspended in the air with the aid of a small balloon or parachute, but his actions could land him in serious trouble. He is tugging on the string of the girl’s bra. We hope they are acquainted; otherwise, it would be a situation ripe for legal action. Regardless, the guy is in a precarious position, and if he falls after pulling the string, we can’t even speculate on the girl’s reaction.

Naughty Dog

Always be cautious of your surroundings, especially at the beach. I’m not just referring to people stealing your belongings, but also to situations like the one shown in the picture above. This couple appears to be enjoying a romantic afternoon or perhaps they were simply posing for a photo. Regardless of their intentions, their moment was disrupted by a dog. Not only did the dog photobomb their romantic picture, but it did so in the least desirable way. For those who don’t have dogs and might not understand the picture, the dog is about to relieve itself on the couple.

Constructing a high-rise building

We aren’t quite sure what these girls are attempting to achieve, but it appears they are trying to construct a tall building similar to the ones in the background. Summer is a season for fun and entertainment, and people often go to the beach to enjoy themselves with friends and family. This is typically when people have fun as if there’s no tomorrow. We can only guess that this was one of those times when these girls were just enjoying themselves and having the time of their lives. We just hope the girl on the bottom can still breathe.

Return my glasses.

We generally advise against having animals that close to your face, even if they are not wild. There are numerous instances where pets can become aggressive, but this monkey appears to be very friendly and in a good mood, seemingly enjoying the moment captured in the photo. However, it seems he may have overstepped his boundaries by taking the girl’s sunglasses. From the picture, it’s clear that the girl is surprised; she certainly didn’t anticipate that. It’s definitely a story worth sharing with friends and family. We just hope the monkey returned the sunglasses undamaged.

Are you able to surf in this way?

There’s no doubt that this girl possesses incredible skills, and she’s flexible enough to create a bridge pose on a surfboard in the middle of the water. While it might just be our guess, we suspect that this photo was captured from a different angle. From another perspective, it might appear as though she’s created a bridge between two small rock formations in the background. Regardless, this is an impressive photo, and with talents like these, we can only wonder what other pictures she might have taken on that surfboard. This photo might indeed be the highlight of her vacation.

Spray for Elephants

Discuss experiencing the time of your life. This woman and the elephant seem to be having a wonderful time. Is this what all friendly elephants enjoy doing? When you try to get on their trunk, they lift you up, and if there’s water nearby, you can be sure that they will spray you with it from their trunk repeatedly. This is just the elephant being friendly, so you don’t need to feel bad about getting soaked. It seems like this girl understands it’s all in good fun, which is why she’s laughing and enjoying a holiday moment that’s worthy of a great story.

That’s not the way to take a photo with the Eiffel Tower.

This is another great vacation photo when it comes to holiday antics. However, that’s not the usual way to take a photo with the Eiffel Tower. Perhaps this girl was traveling alone or with friends. If she was traveling with someone special, it would have been the perfect moment to kiss under the Eiffel Tower and create an everlasting memory. That photo could have been displayed in your living room, showing everyone how romantic you and your partner are. As for this picture, it seems the tongue aligns perfectly with the line of the Eiffel Tower, indicating that the photographer did an excellent job.

Perfect for Instagram

This picture might not be one you’d display for future grandchildren, but it’s a work of art. It resembles a beverage advertisement. If there was one photo I’d recreate with my partner, it would be this one. It has action, romance, a stunning backdrop, splashing water—everything. We’re not sure if it was staged or spontaneous, but it certainly looks choreographed. Or perhaps it’s just a couple enjoying their summer vacation to the fullest. We just hope the guy wasn’t injured performing that stunt.

Top Rope Leg Drop

This truly resembles a move that a daredevil wrestler might perform from the top of a cage while their opponent is lying on the ground. We’re unsure of what was going through this guy’s mind before he jumped, but we hope the girl doesn’t swim directly beneath him, as this might lead to her getting hurt, which would undoubtedly result in the guy being injured as well. Furthermore, the water doesn’t appear to be very deep, and the way the guy is diving is quite unconventional, so it’s unclear how poorly he might land in the water.

You’re on my land.

The water appears very clean and beautiful, yet the turtle doesn’t seem very happy with the photographer. You would expect a turtle in such pristine waters to be content. However, judging by the way it looks at the photographer, it’s clear that it is displeased with the intrusion. It wants the photographer to leave quickly. It also seems to be expressing something stern with its left limb. We hope the photographer respected the turtle’s warning and departed from its habitat promptly.

That’s an Unusual Method for Diving

These are the kinds of photos we expect from people having fun on vacation. This is the ideal holiday picture that captures a youthful vibe. Even though this couple looks older than teenagers, they are enjoying their vacation like there’s no tomorrow. We just hope the guy didn’t hurt his back with someone else on top of him while diving into the water. It looks like the girl is also getting ready to dive, so it would have been interesting to see what happened the moment after this photo was taken.

When the Grim Reaper Acts as Your Lifeguard

Taking holiday and vacation pictures is always enjoyable, but it’s even better when you can add a touch of creativity. This beach photo exemplifies that perfectly. The lifeguard is dressed as the Grim Reaper, which certainly brings some excitement to the scene! However, some might find it inappropriate. We understand that the lifeguard has a sense of humor, but it’s probably not best to dress as a Grim Reaper when your job is to save lives. Honestly, we aren’t sure if this is actually the lifeguard or just a visitor sitting in the lifeguard chair.

Caring for Your Shark

If you’ve ever asked your parents for a pet, they might have said that it’s a significant responsibility. You must feed them, care for them, and keep them happy. However, we are certain that this girl’s parents would not approve of her new ‘pet.’ Although it’s not exactly her pet, the way this girl seems at ease around the shark makes it appear as though they have formed a friendship. We’re not sure what this girl is trying to achieve here, but it seems like she’s attempting to pet the shark with that net.

Pong on the Beach

If you’ve ever attended a teen party, you’ll know that beer pong is one of the most enjoyable activities at these events. However, you can also play beer pong at the beach, calling it beach pong. If you’re concerned about needing a table to play, the picture above demonstrates that you don’t. You just need to transform the beach sand into a large table for your pong game. Considering that small children can build castles out of beach sand, creating a flat table should not be too difficult.

That is not how I imagined my holiday turning out.

This person was having a great time water gliding when a shark decided that it had enough of people entering its waters. Although we can’t ascertain from the photograph, it looks like the person is trying to move faster, but it all hinges on whoever is pulling him. We hope that they sped up too and saved this person from an impending shark attack. The shark appears hungry and aggressive, but the person seems somewhat confident, possibly because he has encountered similar situations before.

Is that you, Tarzan?

This child could be considered a modern-day Mowgli or Tarzan, characters known for their friendship with animals. While we wouldn’t advise letting a monkey get that close to a child, it appears they have a friendly relationship, and the monkey isn’t aggressive. The monkey, with its dad bod, seems to be enjoying its time at the beach too. It’s a fantastic photo, partly because both the monkey and the bird paused to pose for the camera.

When the GPS Instructs You to Make a Right Turn

We’ve all experienced it. You’re heading to a new place, relying on your GPS directions, when suddenly it tells you to take an odd turn or drive down a suspicious road. Often, we follow Google Maps’ guidance without question. But what if it leads you in the wrong direction? If you’re fortunate, you might just arrive at your destination later than planned. If not, you could find yourself in a river like this driver did. However, we’re not entirely certain that Google Maps is at fault here, as it seems the driver should have been able to see the water ahead from several yards away.

It’s Pouring Vomit

It’s unfortunate when moments that have the potential to be the best in your life turn sour due to situations like the one depicted in the image above. When this woman considered gliding through the air, she probably envisioned how thrilling it would be. What she likely didn’t foresee was her stomach rebelling against the adventure. The man’s expression tells the whole story. He is clearly not enjoying the situation, and we sympathize with the people on the boat below who are about to experience their first vomit rain.

Eager Sea Lion

Talk about bad timing. This guy was posing for a photo with his impressive catch when a sea lion decided it would be a fun idea not only to photobomb the picture but also to take a bite out of the fish, which we bet the fisherman was planning to enjoy with his friends and family later. We’re not sure if the sea lion swiped the fish, but the man is quite lucky the photographer managed to capture the moment. At least he has a story to share with his fellow fishermen or, even better, he could frame the photo and hang it in his home as a great conversation starter.

He Elevated Relaxing at the Beach to an Entirely New Level

Imagine the most laid-back and easy-going person among your friends and then compare them to the person in this picture. We’re certain that this person would be the winner every time. He has taken relaxing at the beach to the next level. We’re not sure if he arranged for the couch to be on the beach, but he’s certainly making the most of it. Whoever brought this couch to the beach definitely earns the title of coolest person ever, and we’d love to spend time with them.

Beach Resident Without a Head

If we were to give an award for creativity, this photo would definitely be a leading contender. The amusing beach picture shows a man buried entirely in the sand except for his head, next to a friend who has his head buried with the rest of his body sticking out of the sand. It creates the illusion of a single person with a detached head. Remarkably, this is one of the funniest beach photos we’ve encountered. It’s all in good fun until an unsuspecting onlooker sees it and faints—unless, of course, they share our dark sense of humor!

Wishing That the Sharks Know English

The concept appears more humorous than inventive. If sharks could comprehend English, this surfer would be protected from their attacks. Clearly, this is just a surfboard belonging to someone with a good sense of humor. It seems the surfer obviously enjoys life and also doesn’t want his beloved surfboard to be harmed. For all we know, he’s doing the sharks a favor by advising them not to consume something that might upset their stomachs. Perhaps the surfer should also sign up all the sharks for a foreign language class.

These People Have No Fear of Heights

If this photo isn’t edited, my first question would be how these people managed to reach that spot. It looks like a challenging climb, and it’s something I would never want to attempt. It was probably the highlight of their trip, and this photo might serve as an excellent conversation starter with friends and family, but it’s not something I would ever want to try. It seems very risky, and the person on the left appears to be standing on the edge. Not to mention the steep incline of the hill. One small mistake and both would fall. We can only hope they were able to get down safely.

Thrill-seeker

Some might claim this photo is edited, and honestly, we can’t confirm its authenticity either. However, if this photo is real, we have to commend this man for being a daredevil. Many people incorporate such activities into their workout routines to reach specific mental or physical fitness goals. This person appears very confident in what he’s doing. Still, we wouldn’t ever want to be anywhere near that hilltop.

The True Greatest Surfer of All Time

In the surfing world, here’s the real GOAT—not the greatest of all time, but an actual goat. We think this was the idea behind this guy bringing his goat along for a surfing session. Both deserve credit for their impressive performance. The man is holding the goat, yet the goat is also managing to balance on the surfboard, so it deserves recognition too. This will definitely make for a great Instagram post and is sure to become a popular photo. We can already imagine the likes and comments flooding in on his profile.

Do Not Consume Her Gulliver

We all read “Gulliver’s Travels” in our youth. It was a very unique concept for its time, and this person must have been quite a fan of the book. This couple thought it would be amusing to create this photo while enjoying the beach, and we must credit them for executing it perfectly. It looks like the man is about to swallow the woman whole. However, it’s clearly an impressive camera trick. We’re sure they attempted it several times before posting the one that turned out well. It likely required some trial and error to get the photo just right.

Elevating Sun Protection to a Whole New Level

That’s not just a sombrero; it’s a Super Sombrero. What should you do if you forgot your sunscreen at home? Well, don’t worry, you can always pull out your large beach hat, just like this boy did. The hat appears to be bigger than the boy himself. So, we’re not sure if he’s wearing it for practical reasons or for comedic effect, but either way, he’s succeeding. The hat is amusing and, as it turns out, it also provides sun protection. Not to mention the attention he might be attracting from everyone on the beach.

Yelling Llama

The background by itself is sufficient reason for us to feature this picture on the list. It’s a stunning view and creates an ideal photo opportunity. However, what’s occurring in the foreground is noteworthy as well. This llama evidently wasn’t pleased when the photographer attempted to take a picture. In the photo, it’s evident that the llama let out a loud orgle, which frightened the nearby girl. It might appear as though the girl and the llama are simply screaming for the picture, but the girl is genuinely scared and screamed because of it.

Attractive Stone

We are unsure where people come up with these ideas, but they are amusing. During a fun holiday at the beach, someone took the time to arrange rocks into a very unique formation. They stacked the rocks to resemble a human being with exaggerated features having fun at the beach. We are confident that everyone at the beach found this amusing because we certainly find it creative and funny. We hope that no one dismantled it later on. It should remain there so others can also appreciate this creativity.

The Monster Who Eats Cookies

The Cookie Monster has finally retired. It appears to us that it might actually be a fishing net or maybe the fishing net caught it in the ocean. Either way, it’s a great discovery. The way it’s positioned on the boat makes it look like the Cookie Monster is sad. For the newer generation who aren’t familiar with Sesame Street, they might not recognize what they’re seeing, but people born in the 1980s or 1990s knew to stop and take a photo. Sometimes, your travels abroad can lead you to such moments.

We Sympathize with the Car Owners

When you head out on a safari, the idea of an elephant crushing your vehicle isn’t usually on your mind. Many individuals who prepare for safaris advise their family members to remain in the car at all times, as there could be wild animals around that might pose a threat. Nonetheless, in this scenario, I would have exited the car and fled to safety. We can only hope that everyone left the vehicle before this incident occurred, as no one wants to see someone get crushed. However, since the front of the car doesn’t appear to be damaged, it’s possible that the driver intentionally attempted to maneuver his small car from beneath the elephant.

The Shark King

With water that clear, it’s understandable to feel afraid of all the sharks below. However, if you’re this guy who considers himself the ‘king of sharks,’ you’re not intimidated by a few sharks waiting for a wrong move. This person seems to be having fun in shark-infested waters, but we can only hope he has thought this through, because the sharks could still flip his small inflatable boat even if he doesn’t do anything. This wouldn’t end well for him. Thus, we can only assume he came to his senses and left the water as quickly as possible.
