Do you have a strange hobby of creating imaginary figures out of cloud formations, shadows, and maybe even cookie crumbs? Then, you might like doing this out of the different angles of islands around the world. So far we’ve seen islands that resemble random objects such as sea horses, helicopters,hearts, and even a man’s down under. Are you ready to have fun in discovering oddly-shaped islands? We promise they’re all natural and not photoshopped!


1. Helicopter Island, Philippines
Dilumacad Island found in El Nido, Palawan catches the eye of island hopping tourists because it looks like a helicopter – without the propeller. Going near the helicopter’s body will give you a clear sight of the towering cliffs and dark green rainforests. Trace your eyes down from the helicopter tail to see the white sand beach waiting for you to come over.


2. Turtle Island, Taiwan
The huge turtle floats but never swims, Taiwan’s Guishan Island is actually a volcano and the only active volcano in Taiwan.

4. Crocodile Island, Philippines

The Philippines can be known for its giant crocodiles and there’s also an island that looks like one. It’s more surprising to see onenear the country’s most popular beach destination, Boracay.

From Malaysia’s Kota Kinabalu, you can fly to see the aerial view of the Manukan, Mamutik, and Sulug Islands that form a welcoming smile. If you see the smiley, then you’ll know you’re above the islands known to possess great beaches and coral reefs made popular for their scuba diving and snorkeling. These islands are three of the five islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park between 3 to 8 kilometers off Kota Kinabalu.

Mavuva sits in a protected coral lagoon with a variety of marine life and belongs entirely within the world’s third largest barrier reef, the Great Sea Reef.

The Islet of Vila Franca do Ocampo is just off shore the larger island of Sao Miguel.
