Instagrams of the Week: Splish Splash

May 17, 2015 Mark Bonington

Whether rolling river, sparkling sea or ocean teeming with life, there can be no doubt that water serves as a truly stunning subject. From the aquatic creatures of the Galápagos to the rainbow lights of a city harbour and the bliss of a secluded Peruvian oasis, join our travellers as they take on the world's waves.

The emerald waters of the Phi Phi Islands, Thailand, wonderfully captured by traveller @jillianosaurus.

The secluded oasis of Huacachina, Peru, brilliantly captured by @elard_photography. Local legend says the lagoon was formed from the bath water of a native princess. Interrupted while bathing by a young hunter, she fled. Her flowing mantle became the surrounding sands as she dove into the newly-created waters to live as a mermaid, where she still resides.
