Exploring a new destination is all well and good, but it definitely comes with its share of hassles.

Lengthy airport queues, delays, cramped seats and bad airport food and then there’s all the little inconveniences when you finally arrive at your destination. Whether it’s battling crowds of selfie-stick wielding tourists, trying to order from that confusingly translated menu or tackling that four-hour bus in 35-degree weather – let’s face it, travel can leave you feeling just a little bit fatigued.

But what if we told you there is a better way? Introducing KAYAK Virtual Holidays, the first fully immersive Virtual Reality trip. Not only will you be able to see and hear the sights and sounds of some of the world’s best destinations, but you’ll even be able to touch and taste them too.

But how does it work?

We’ve taken a crack team of technical geniuses to research the tools required to bring Virtual Reality into the homes of anyone hoping to escape the daily grind. Our clever tech will allow you to download one of three holiday packages that can then be accessed through a 360 VR headset, Ultra-VMX headphones and a neural scanner that we’ll send straight to your door.

From there, what you do is up to you.

See and hear… sure. But touch and taste!?

Yep, you read that right. Not only will you be able to see and hear what’s happening around you as if you are really there, but you’ll also be able to feel and taste it too. So yes, that means you’ll be able to taste that traditional Neapolitan pizza, feel the sand between your toes and enjoy the sun without the risk of being frazzled.

Who can take a Virtual Holiday?

Absolutely anyone! Groups, couples or solo explorers can enjoy the benefits of a virtual trip. The beauty of Virtual Holidays is that it’s accessible to absolutely everyone.
