There are so many wonderful islands around the planet to relax and explore.

However, there are some amazing places that no traveler has ever set foot on.

These islands are almost completely cut off from the outside world, despite their exotic beauty.

Aldabra Island

Aldabra Island is located in the Indian Ocean and is one of the coral lagoons. This island is located at a fairly large distance from the sight of people and is almost untouched by them.

Aldabra is famous for its huge number of giant tortoises, and the beautiful landscapes with unusual flowers create an attractive picture that pleases the human eye.

Everything about this island is beautiful, from the mangrove shoals to the coral reefs.

Tetepare Island

Tetepare Island, located in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands, is one of the jewels of the South Pacific.

This long, rocky island, covered in tropical forests and fringed by biological reefs, is the largest uninhabited tropical island in the Southern Hemisphere.

Uninhabited for 150 years, Tetepare is an island forgotten by time and shrouded in mystery.

There are many stories explaining why people do not visit it.

But what makes this island truly extraordinary is that in a country that has lost almost all of its forests to commercial logging, Tetepare remains untouched.

A dazzling diversity of plants and animals make their home in the island's 120 square kilometres of primary lowland rainforest.

Species found on the island and in the surrounding waters include rhinoceros, pygmy parrots, the endangered coconut crab, huge knobby parrotfish, schools of barracuda and spinner dolphins.

The island's isolation has allowed endemic flora and fauna to evolve. With minimal human intervention, these ecological processes can be clearly observed in all their complexity.

Bolla Island

Ball Island, located in Australia, is a jagged silhouette of a rock jutting out of the middle of the ocean about 23 km southeast of Lord Howe Island, reaching 551 meters in height, making it the highest island on the planet.

It was formed from an ancient volcano and has a very steep slope.

You won't be able to set foot on this island, but you can take a boat ride around it and watch the birds, weather permitting.

Phoenix Islands

As one of the most remote island chains in the world, the Phoenix Islands, located within the Republic of Kiribati in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, are an island archipelago and ocean wilderness of immense value.

It is one of the last intact oceanic coral archipelago ecosystems on Earth.

Kiribati's eight islands boast unique coral reefs and globally significant bird populations. More than 120 species of coral and 514 species of reef fish have been identified here.

The coral reef ecosystem, unlike most others in the world today, is healthy and abundant with key marine species rarely found elsewhere.

One of the reasons for such a rich diversity of marine species is the isolation of the Phoenix Islands from tourists.
