How the List Rankings Are Determined
By the travel opinions, reviews, insights and recommendations of many previous visitors to each destination who have been there and experienced it for themselves.
I have read through thousands of trip reviews and travel reports, forum postings and magazine/newspapers articles written by past travellers and ranked the experiences accordingly (not an easy task, here's why I do it).
I've summarized the most important nuggets of information from all those unbiased travel reviews to help you if you are planning a journey to one of these magical natural wonders yourself.
If you want a deeper insight into what each trip was like (and have the time to read through them) I provide a sampling of the full travel reviews/reports/articles for each destination.
