1. Torres Strait Islands, Australia

The collection of 274 islands in the Torres Strait forms a culturally unique and incredibly diverse region of Australia – a tribal culture. This area boasts the world's largest coral islands. Modern amenities such as air travel and hotels are only available on the two main islands, Thursday Island and Horn Island. Access to other islands requires permission from the tribal council due to certain areas being considered sacred and restricted to outsiders.
