Travel Through Virtual Reality

Want to go on a vacation, but don’t have the money or time to get away – or want to see if a destination is right for your next trip? You can travel using virtual reality. While it’s not quite the same thing and nothing can replace an actual vacation, these apps will allow you to feel like you are somewhere else even though you haven’t even left the comfort of your own home.

Virtual Gorilla

If seeing wildlife or going on safari is your idea of the perfect vacation, then check this app out. Virtual Gorilla allows you to get an up close view of everything from sea lions to elephants. You can go on a virtual safari or even view a Savannah in a hot air balloon. This experience feels so real that you just might forget that it’s actually an app.

Ascape

Take a trip to practically anywhere in the world with this virtual reality app. View 360 degree videos of an exotic place, go on a tour and have an unforgettable experience. One of the coolest features about this app is that you can tilt your phone so you can see all around you in any direction. You can use Asca[e with or without a virtual reality headset and can save videos to watch later, when you won’t have an internet connection.

Caribbean VR

Now is the perfect time to visit the Caribbean, but it can be hot and crowded during the summer months. To feel as if you’ve visited one of these islands, you can always go on a virtual reality vacation. The Caribbean VR app allows you to see some of the most beautiful parts of the Caribbean. Pretend like you are relaxing on one of the sandy beaches or touring a historical site. You can feel as if you’ve actually visited the Caribbean with even needing a passport.

VR Cave Exploration

Ever wanted to visit a cave, but not brave enough to take the plunge. Take advantage of the VR Cave Exploration app. Using a virtual reality headset, tour a cave in 3D. You will feel as if you are deeply emerged in the cave, just watch out for bats overhead! You can do all of this with even getting dirty.

While virtual reality apps really can’t replace actually going on a vacation, they are a good alternative for those that can’t get away right now. It just might be the perfect way to relax and feel as if you’ve gone somewhere and done something fun.
