Below, you’ll find a step-by-step video and an easy-to-follow text guide.

Step 1: Pick Your Destination

The first step in planning your day trip is choosing the right destination. Head over to Let’s Trip AI and type in what you’re looking for, like “Best day trips from Sedro-Woolley, I want to visit an authentic small town.”

Let’s Trip AI will provide you with a list of great options, complete with short descriptions and recent social media videos to help you decide.

Step 2: Create Your Itinerary

Once you’ve chosen your destination, the next step is to create your itinerary. Go to Let’s Trip AI’s itinerary creator and request a one-day trip. For example, you might type in, “1 day trip to Anacortes, WA, with my wife.” The AI then gets to work, scanning social media for trending spots and videos, and within moments, you’ll have a fully crafted itinerary.

The itinerary gives you an overview of the day, including a list of recommended places to visit. Each location comes with a video preview, helping you decide if it’s worth adding to your day trip. The itinerary also includes local events, a curated playlist to set the mood, and restaurant recommendations.

Step 3: Personalize Your Itinerary

One of the coolest features of Let’s Trip AI is how customizable the itinerary is. If you want to add more places, simply click “Add More Places” for additional suggestions from the AI. For instance, I spotted a cool lighthouse and added it to my list. You can also search for specific types of locations—like museums, Instagram-worthy spots, or hidden gems—and easily add them to your itinerary.

If you already have a specific place in mind, you can add it by name, making the itinerary truly your own.

Step 4: Map Your Route

With your itinerary complete, Let’s Trip AI provides a visual map of your trip. You’ll see all the places you plan to visit laid out on a map, and with just one click, it generates a driving route on Google Maps. This makes it super easy to jump in your car, follow the route, and start your adventure without any hassle.

Step 5: Share Your Itinerary

Finally, if you’re planning your day trip with friends or family, you can easily share the itinerary with them. Just click “Share,” and your personalized plan is ready to be sent to your travel buddies, ensuring everyone is on the same page.
