105 Vacation Instagram Captions To Use This Summer

Did you even really take a vacation if you didn’t upload several (hundred) vacation photos to your Instagram? We all know the answer, because let’s be real: One of the most fun things about going on a trip is taking great photos to share later on, and those photos aren’t complete without the perfect vacation Instagram caption. You want to add a summer vacation caption that shows just how much fun you’re having — something that kind of makes everyone jealous of your summer getaway, but also comes across as lighthearted and cute. And of course, makes for great documenting as you enjoy these memories with your family and friends, because vacation Instagram posts are basically the new scrapbook.

It’s also fun to pick out a vacation caption for Instagram that is specific to the kind of vacation you’re going on, so we’ve rounded up some of the best options for you so that you have minimal thinking to do when posting your pic — especially when you’re on vacation, the last thing you want to do is wrack your brain for some witty caption. You just want to snap, share and get back to the beach. Whether you’re heading to the beach for relaxation, hitting up a theme park for all the rides, camping for a good dose of nature, going on a girl’s trip with your besties, or staying put for the ultimate staycation, there’s a caption for you below.
