• University of Ontario
• George Brown College
• Payment Services

We love road trips! Planning them can be fun but, let's be honest, also stressful. The right road trip planner apps can take some of that stress away by helping you plan, organize, and manage travel before and during your trip. We've researched and tested these apps to help give you peace of mind so that you can spend more time enjoying your trip.

The Ultimate Map App for Planning Your Route: Roadtrippers

Access to free and convenient travel guides.

Share-ability so friends can join in on the planning process and suggest places to visit.

The app can use up the battery life of your device quickly. Take a car USB charger with you.

Built for travelers, Roadtrippers helps you create your route while allowing you to discover great places as you plan it out. Add a new place to your itinerary to work it into your trip.

The app features an easy-to-use interface. In addition to covering the U.S., it also covers Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Automate Your Trip Planning and Organization: Google Travel

Automatic trip organization via Gmail integration. 

Offline access so you can see your trip information even when you don't have an internet connection.

Limitations with customizing some day trips exactly the way you want.

You can count on Google to make your trip planning a breeze. Pre-constructed day plans are available for hundreds of the world's most popular destinations, which you can customize to your liking.

It's one of the most versatile travel planner apps out there, giving you one convenient place to see your hotel, rental car, and restaurant bookings.

Find and Book a Last-Minute Place to Stay: Hotels.com

A fast, easy-to-use booking feature.

For every 10 nights you book through Hotels.com, you get one night free, provided it's the average daily rate of those 10 nights.

No option to easily cancel if you change your mind.

Whether your road trip itinerary changed, or you haven't decided on a place to stay yet, Hotels.com can help you find a place and book it when you're on the go, even when it's super last-minute. You can sort and filter hotels, see the amenities they have to offer, compare prices, and catch a glimpse of how many rooms are available.

This is the app you'll want to have handy if you want to see in-depth hotel details at a glance and need to find a place to crash ASAP without breaking the bank.

Find Local Restaurants, Read Reviews, and Make Reservations: OpenTable

Lots of great filter options and suggestions.

Access to gorgeous, high-quality images of menu items and informative reviews from other users.

Reported problems and inconveniences with their built-in reward system.

Searching for specific restaurants is more difficult than simply looking at what's around in the area.

Deciding on a place to eat in a new area is quick and hassle-free with OpenTable. See what's nearby, filter restaurants by cuisine, see photos of what's on the menu, make reservations, and get personalized recommendations based on your preferences.

OpenTable is known to be one of the top  location-based food apps  available, so you know you can trust its information when you're dying for something to eat.

Navigate Like a Local: Waze

Hands-free navigation with voice commands.

Alerts-only mode for road hazards and police.

Share up-to-date ETA with friends.

Spotify and Apple Music widgets get in the way.

Cluttered maps can be confusing.

Higher battery usage than Google Maps.

Waze  is a community-driven travel app that shows you the shortest possible route to your destination. Like Google Maps, Waze makes real-time adjustments for traffic jams and other obstacles—but Waze is often more accurate since it caters specifically to drivers.

The app syncs with your Google Calendar and can tell you when you should leave for appointments based on traffic. There's also a cool option to record your own voice and use it for directions .

Know Exactly When and Where to Make a Pit Stop: iExit Interstate Exit Guide

Access to detailed summaries of what's at the next exit (including gas prices at nearby gas stations).

Search for the next 100 exits from your location.

The app can only be used on major U.S. exit-based highways.

No offline access, so you'll use your data plan while you're on the road.

Making a pit stop for food, gas, or a bathroom break is easy when you have the iExit app. Using your device's GPS, the app offers helpful suggestions for when and where to stop based on your location along the highway.

Whether you're looking for well-known franchises like Starbucks and Walmart to convenient amenities like free Wi-Fi and truck or trailer parking, this app has you covered.

Find the Cheapest Fuel Nearby: GasBuddy

An in-app gas payment feature.

Opportunity to save 10 cents per gallon on your first fill-up and five cents per gallon on every fill-up after.

The app can take up a lot of data and battery life as it runs in the background.

GasBuddy is an app specifically designed to find nearby gas stations and save money on gas. Use it to find the cheapest gas in your area and filter gas stations by amenities like car washes, restaurants, and bathrooms.

It's the app you want to have if you're serious about finding the cheapest gas around. Information comes from users like you, so you have the most up-to-date prices.

Never Forget an Item: PackPoint Premium Packing List

Access to a built-in library of items to pack with the ability to add or remove items as needed. 

An elegant, intuitive app interface.

Can't input multiple destinations for a single trip.

Not a free app.

PackPoint helps you make sure you have everything you need based on where you're going and what you're doing. In addition, the app takes into consideration the length of your trip and the expected weather conditions. Perhaps best of all, this app turns a mundane chore into something that's actually quite fun.

Find Out Where to Park and How Much It Will Cost: Inrix ParkMe

ParkMe is the only app that also includes street parking and parking meter rates where available, in addition to parking lots.

Real-time updates on available parking spots.

Rates and hours may be inaccurate in some areas.

ParkMe claims to be the world's largest and most accurate parking database. It allows you to purchase your parking spot through the app and compare prices across parking providers to help you save more money.

If you're road tripping around major cities in the U.S., Canada, or Europe, this app can be a huge help. You can even compare parking options and prices so that you always get the best deal.

Automate Your Itinerary: TripIt

Automatically creates itineraries from your inbox.

Widget displays trip details on your home screen.

Annoying amount of alerts by default.

If you're planning a trip, you'll likely have a lot of confirmation emails for hotels, appointments, restaurants, and attractions. TripIt syncs with your inbox and uses that information to compile an itinerary so that you don't have to scramble for it.

The free version is fine for road trips, but if you ever fly, the premium version gives you the option to upgrade seats and track reward miles.

In addition to your phone, laptop, and tablet, other travel tech essentials include chargers, headphones, travel adapters, cameras, luggage trackers, and off-grid communications

Yes. You can use Google Maps as a trip planner through the “Places” and “My Maps” features. Both the Google Maps website and app let you save locations to lists and get directions.

Always wanted to travel across US but were not sure if you have enough time for that? Did you ever try to figure out how long it takes to drive from Yosemite to Yellowstone or from Lisbon to Rome?

Start clicking on the map. Choose your destination and have Furkot calculate how much time you need to get there. Set daily limits on the travel time so none of your sightseeing has to be done under moonlight — unless, of course, that's what you want.

Don't worry about putting stops in order. Furkot attempts to plan a route for your trip in the most efficient way. If you don't want efficient, you can drag your stops around or even reverse your itinerary .

Tell us how long you want to drive every day, and we will show you where to stop for the night Furkot suggests overnight stops along the route based on your schedule and preferences.

Furkot can help you with all your travel plans: a day trip, a weekend getaway, or a continent-crossing road trip. And driving is not the only option . You can also schedule motorcycle rides, biking excursions and walking tours with Furkot.

It's not just about driving

It's also about all the things you do on the way. Leave your car parked for a couple of hours and hike one of the trails from the vast Everytrail collection.

Need some hints? Make sure to check interesting places described on Wikipedia . They are one click away from ending up on your road trip stop list.

If your car resembles ours you can't drive on water, but Furkot will route you to the closest dry land point for those spots that do require a boat ride. You can drive and dive with Furkot.

Are you after fresh powder? Or maybe shredding corduroy is your thing? Trees or bowls? Skis or snowboard? Regardless of the answer, you can use Furkot to find ski resorts — courtesy of Liftopia .

You can even plan meal stops and add gas stations to your itinerary. Not to mention biking paths, museums, monuments, climbing routes , national parks, scenic views — add as many as you want. Furkot will keep you on track. You just need to show up.

Campgrounds? Motels? Hotels? Staying with friends?

Whatever your lodging preference is — hotel, campground, apartment — Furkot will show you scores of accommodations on the map and will help you find the perfect place for every night of your trip.

Furkot makes it easy to decide which hotels offer the best combination of cost, amenities and convenient location. Whenever available, Furkot displays exactly what you are going to pay (including taxes and service fees). You are in charge of what they charge.

When you are ready to book, Furkot will take you directly to your favorite booking site and pre-fill the check-in and check-out dates so that you don't have to worry about reserving that hard found lodging on the wrong night.

Booking all hotels for your trip can be a daunting experience: multiple cities, multiple booking sites and many dates and details to mistype? Let Furkot help with that. We will take you through the whole process page by page and hotel by hotel. All you need to do is to keep pressing Next until you are Done .

7 Free Travel Planning AI and ChatGPT Apps to Get an Instant Itinerary

Quick links.

• PLAN by ixigo
• Trip Planner AI
• Vacay Chatbot
• Layla, Wonderplan, and PLAN by ixigo are AI travel planning apps with customizable itineraries.
• iplan.ai offers detailed itineraries for popular tourist cities based on interests and budget.
• Curiosio plans road trips on all continents, while Trip Planner AI helps with activity selection and cost estimation.

You can tell a travel agent your preferred dates, the place you want to visit, and your budget, and expect a full itinerary of what to do there based on your preferences. But can AI do the same job?

These free travel planning apps use AI and machine-learning tools like ChatGPT to prepare an itinerary for you in a few seconds, and we took them for a spin.

Layla describes itself as an AI trip planner, meaning you can use it to decide your vacation destination, create itineraries, and find suitable hotels and flights.

If you are uncertain about your destination or would like suggestions, you can ask Layla for advice regarding your trip. Otherwise, enter your destination and ask Layla to create your itinerary. Within a few seconds, you'll get a detailed plan for your trip.

As Layla is a chatbot, you can enter a prompt to ask it to change your itinerary. For instance, ask it to focus more on outdoor activities or include local restaurants. If you're unsatisfied with the activities planned on any particular day, you can give instructions and ask Layla to regenerate that part only.

Once you've perfected your itinerary, you can share it with your friends via a URL or add it to your bucket list.

2. Wonderplan

Wonderplan is a wonderful AI tool for planning your trip. To create your itinerary, Wonderplan first asks you to enter your destination country and city, your budget, the number of days you'll be staying, and your interests.

It then creates a travel plan within a few minutes, displaying various places to visit, their descriptions, and the time usually spent at each location. Although Wonderplan doesn't show the trip map, it does provide a link to Google Maps for each place.

It also displays different types of accommodation available (like Airbnb, hotel, or hostel) and their respective costs. Similarly, there are details about transportation, food, and activities. This way, you can estimate the potential cost of your trip.

In addition to your itinerary, Wonderplan also shows essential information about the country you're visiting. These include the currency conversion rate, electricity plug type, languages spoken, weather, and popular conveyances.

3. PLAN by ixigo

PLAN by ixigo starts by asking you about your dream destination. Then, it provides an option to describe the type of experience you want to have. This is just like a ChatGPT prompt, so you can enter anything you wish.

For example, you can specify the duration of your stay, your interests, the kinds of activities you're looking for, whether you have a family with you, and so on.

But if you can't think of any prompts, PLAN by ixigo provides a few trip ideas, so you can always select those. PLAN by ixigo then shows a day-wise plan, showing what you can do in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

However, if the suggested itinerary doesn't sound appealing, you can again enter a prompt to edit it.

4. iplan.ai

While iplan.ai doesn't mention which AI or machine-learning algorithm it uses, the results are fantastic enough to gloss over that. The app works beautifully on phones to give you a full itinerary for any one city at a time, depending on how many days you have there.

The app first asks you to name the destination city. As far as we checked, iplan.ai works best for popular tourist cities, not offbeat or obscure travel. Next, note how many days you will be there, and then choose your free time each day—a cool step to ensure a better itinerary if you already have some plans, but not a whole days worth.

Tell iplan.ai if you're traveling solo, as a couple, with family, or with friends, and then choose your interest among topics like history, art and culture, nature, entertainment, shopping, food, sports, relaxing, etc. Finally, choose between an economy, normal, or luxury budget.

After a few minutes, iplan.ai gives you a day-wise itinerary for your trip. It's plotted on a map so you can see all the locations, and each point of interest has a brief description along with estimated travel time.

The app has both free and paid plans. With a paid account, you can share the trip plan with your friends and access it offline. Another limitation of iplan.ai is that you can't get an itinerary for a multi-city trip. For now, you'll need to make a plan for each city you're visiting, one at a time.

Download: iplan.ai for Android | iOS (Free, Paid)

5. Curiosio

The easiest last-minute travel plan is to get into a car and drive. Curiosio specializes in helping you plan an itinerary for a road trip to several major countries on all continents. It doesn't cover every single place, but the existing collection is impressive enough.

Curiosio uses its own AI engine, Ingeenee, which is trained on several crowdsourced travel-based resources, such as Wikivoyage, Wikipedia, Wikidata, Freebase, DBpedia, GeoNames, OSMNames, and OpenStreetMap. Through this dataset, it can chart an itinerary that meets your requirements across various parameters.

You can set options for a round trip or a one-way trip with starting and finishing points. If there are any places you want to visit on the way, add them in. Then set the number of travelers, dates of the journey, what vehicle you're using, total budget, and whether you want to visit places that spark curiosity or are obscure. The AI will usually give you multiple plans and routes for these options.

The itinerary includes a map of your route and a day-wise breakdown of where you'll be going and what you'll be seeing. Each point of interest is clickable to find more information about it. There are easy ways to share your itinerary with co-travelers, print it out, or even export it to Google Maps. Curiosio is one of the best road trip planners for your next adventure .

6. Trip Planner AI

Trip Planner AI plans a perfect trip to your dream destination. Begin creating your itinerary by entering the city you wish to visit and traveling dates. You can add multiple destinations here.

Then, select the kinds of activities you prefer, the number of people, and whether you're traveling with friends or family. Trip Planner AI asks you about your dietary preferences and budget.

As an optional step, you can specify the place where you'll be staying so that it creates an itinerary accordingly. If you haven't decided on your lodging yet, you can explore hotels suggested by Trip Planner AI.

Finally, Trip Planner AI generates a detailed itinerary, a map, and basic information about the city you're visiting. For each destination, it provides the details of the place, expected traveling time, and cost. Though it provides a complete plan for your trip, you can manually add or remove activities from your itinerary. You can also invite your friends to edit the itinerary and download it as a PDF.

7. Vacay Chatbot

Vacay Chatbot is not a dedicated itinerary maker but an AI chatbot that acts like your travel advisor. So, you can ask it to give travel recommendations, compare different destinations, and, of course, create an itinerary. If you've previously used AI chatbots like ChatGPT, you'll find this trip planner easy to use.

Just enter a prompt specifying your destination and trip details and ask Vacay Chatbot to create an itinerary. You can include details like your trip duration, budget, preferences, number of travelers, etc. The more details you provide, the better your itinerary will be.

One of the downsides of using Vacay Chatbot is that it doesn't provide a map for your trip. However, you can use these apps to plot your itinerary on a map .

All these travel planning AI apps urge you not to use the itinerary as-is and only treat it as a template or guide to begin planning your trip. This is because they currently have several limitations, like databases that aren't recently updated or require specific prompts from the user.

A real human travel agent will still give you a more customized itinerary, but it will cost you a few bucks. If you want a free base guide, more basic travel planning apps are a good starting point.

Summer adventures await: flo introduces personalized ev road trip planning in the flo app.

New app update allows drivers to personalize their EV journey

QUEBEC CITY and AUBURN HILLS, Mich. , May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - EV owners can now easily charge up for summer adventures with FLO's new trip planning app feature. The new FLO trip planner feature simplifies EV travel, enabling drivers to plan their journey with efficiency and accuracy, factoring in vehicle make and range, passenger count, luggage, and personalized stops, all while pinpointing essential charging stations along the way. Once a journey is planned, drivers can use their preferred map app to navigate their trip via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

"There are more than 1.5 million new EVs on the roads in the U.S. and Canada this year vs. last year," said Nathan Yang , FLO Chief Product Officer . "As drivers begin to plan summer adventures and where they will charge on the road, FLO is offering personalized trip planning and seamless integration into the FLO app and our extensive charging network."

The new trip planner feature on the FLO app is now available for iOS and soon for Android.  FLO's highly rated app can be downloaded free of charge in the Apple and Android store.

"Once drivers open their FLO app and tap plan, they are able to customize their journey, including selecting their specific EV make and model, setting precise charge levels for departure and arrival, and accounting for occupants, climate control, extra weight, and weather conditions," said Yang . "EV drivers can then start their journey with a clearer sense of how their range is expected to evolve between departure and arrival points and where they can expect to charge along the way based on their inputs and the feature's estimates."

Once all the information is entered, the trip planner calculates the best route using more than 100,000 stations across more than 30 charging networks. It suggests charging stops and locations when needed and estimates the cost and amount of charging time required for the journey. EV drivers can then send the route to Apple Maps or Google Maps for easy navigation.

The new update is the latest feature by FLO to provide EV drivers with the best charging experience. Last summer, FLO announced a new unique convenience feature  that allows users to view their charging session on their phone's lock screen without having to unlock the phone or open an app.

FLO is a leading North American electric vehicle (EV) charging network operator and a smart charging solutions provider. We help to overcome climate change and accelerate EV adoption through a vertically integrated business model and by delivering EV drivers the best charging experience from curbside to countryside.

Ultimate Perth to Exmouth Road Trip: 14-Day OR 7-Day Itinerary + FREE Map + Planning Tips

Doing a road trip from Perth to Exmouth is a bucket list item for most. There’s over 1,300 kilometres of Western Australia’s rugged coastal scenery and top attractions on the way.

With some of the most ancient lands in the world, Western Australia boasts rich landscapes, wildlife interactions, dinosaur footprints, living Aboriginal culture and history making it like nowhere else on Earth.

Our road trip itinerary includes all the best sights you simply cannot miss, take a drive through the Pinnacles, swim with seals in Jurien Bay, hike ancient gorges in Kalbarri and go swimming with whale sharks on the abundant Ningaloo reef.

The journey to Exmouth is over 13 hours of driving from Perth. But there’s many of Western Australia’s most iconic sights on the way, expect to leave inspired and forever changed from this experience of a lifetime.

We’ve been living on the road since 2020 and have driven through this coast more times than we can count. So, believe us when we say – if you don’t have at least 1 or 2 weeks available for this, it’s best to do a shorter road trip like a 5-day trip from Perth to Kalbarri .

On your way to Exmouth and back, you’ll stop by some of Western Australia’s gems including, Lancelin, Pinnacles, Jurien Bay, Hutt Lagoon, Kalbarri, Geraldton, Monkey Mia, Shark Bay, Carnarvon, and Coral Bay.

Careful planning for this road trip is crucial. It’s a lengthy trip and you need to be strategic in the stops you make. You don’t want to miss anything or be so worn out from driving that you can’t fully enjoy each destination.

You can swim with whale sharks in Exmouth, book your tickets in advance because they do sell out.

That’s why we’ve put together two itineraries – the perfect 14-day itinerary with a downloadable map, and a shorter, 7-day itinerary for those short on time.

We’ll tell you where to stop to stretch your legs, the best places to stay each day, things to do, as well as recommendations to help you plan this trip while saving money.

Let’s get started!

Arrive in Exmouth on day 5, stay there through days 6 – 9, and start the journey back on day 10! There’s so much to see and do in Exmouth and just as much on the way there and back too!

We recognise the traditional owners of this land that we are exploring from Perth to Cervantes, Whadjuk and Yued.

Day 1: Perth to Cervantes (2 – 3 hours)

The drive from Perth to Cervantes is pretty straightforward, as you’ll drive along the scenic Indian Ocean Drive. The Pinnacles is one of the most iconic stops along the way.

Some awesome stops to make on your way to Cervantes include:

Yanchep National Park , about 45 minutes from Perth. Stretch your legs with a walk among the koala boardwalks, go kangaroo spotting, and explore the limestone caves.

• Ledge Point , a small coastal town popular for camping

Lancelin sand dunes , a 1.5-hour drive from Perth. Have fun sandboarding or driving an ATV down the massive dunes! This 2-hour tour includes all the equipment you’ll need plus free pictures .

• Wedge Island , a quirky coast community known for its shacks on the beach. Also popular for camping and the beach with pure white sand here. 4wd accessible only.

Then, head to The Pinnacles Desert to see as the sun sets on these ancient limestone formations. It’s a surreal experience! There’s an entry fee of $17, as this attraction is in Nambung National Park.

And if you fancy a bit more exploration, take a short 3-minute drive to Lake Thetis to see the stromatolites.

Note : If you’ve already visited The Pinnacles and Lancelin Sand dunes, then consider going to Jurien Bay instead! More on that on day 13

Kalbarri has rich landscapes to explore from Pink Lakes to ancient gorges.

Here are some recommended stops to do on your way to Kalbarri to stretch your legs:

Jurien Bay . You’ll explore this place further on day 13, but you should definitely stop here to stretch your legs with a walk on the beach, or even a snorkelling session! There’s a bakery here too.

Geraldton . You’ll explore this town further on Day 12 , but it’s the perfect pit stop to stretch your legs midway to Kalbarri. Walk on The Esplanade and grab lunch at RT’s Restaurant and Café before going back on the road.

Pink Lake . This lake is bubblegum pink and makes for the ideal stop to snap some pictures and walk around! The water is too salty to make for a good swim, though. Here are all our tips to plan your visit there .

The coastal cliffs get more spectacular as you approach Kalbarri. The Natural Bridge , Red Bluff Lookout , and Pot Alley are truly special places to watch the sunset.

But if you’re feeling fancy, take this sunset cruise tour along the cliffs . Keep an eye out for whales in the season! (June – November)

For dinner, you can go to Finlay’s for a nice meal before heading to your accommodation. Other popular places to eat are The Gorges Cafe , Upstairs Restaurant and Red Bluff Bakery Cafe .

We 100% recommend spending at least one full day in Kalbarri, which is why we included it in your itinerary. Day 3 is all about this gem of the West Coast!

Note: Kalbarri honestly deserves its own road trip. It’s shorter than Exmouth’s (5-days long) but jam-packed with activities. It’s a great alternative if you want to explore the Coral Coast but don’t have 2 weeks to spare. Check the full 5-day itinerary here, it also has a free map included !

You can’t beat the scenery in Kalbarri, don’t miss the Skywalk!

That said, we recommend starting your day in Kalbarri National Park. After paying the entry fee ($17 per vehicle) you can explore all of it! At bare minimum try to visit the following:

Nature’s Window , a natural rock formation that looks like a literal window, framing the Murchison River below. It’s the perfect photo opportunity.

You could also snorkel at Blue Holes or go surfing at Jake’s Point . There are a few beaches as well to check out, like Chinaman’s Beach or Red Bluff Beach .

If you get time, or can afford to spend another day in Kalbarri then don’t miss the coastal cliffs hikes and sightseeing. Some top sites here include, Island Rock , Natural Bridge , Red Bluff Lookout and the Bigurda Trail .

Day 4: Kalbarri to Carnarvon (4h 40m)

We recognise the traditional owners of this land we are exploring from Kalbarri to Carnarvon, Nhanda, Malkana and Yinggarda .

Today you’ll drive along the North West Coastal Highway. The famous Shark Bay and Francois Peron National Park is along this drive, you can stop a night there on your way up or way back from Exmouth.

The first 2 hours from Kalbarri, are quite monotonous as the landscape is pretty much the same, but you can make a pit stop at the Billabong Roadhouse for a classic Aussie roadhouse experience. It’s perfect for a meal or just to stretch your legs.

You can either drive the remaining 2.5 hours to Carnarvon for the night or visit/stay at:

• Hamelin Pool take a small 20-minute detour to Hamelin Pool and check out the ancient stromatolites!

Once you reach Carnarvon, take a stroll around the Fascine to stretch your legs from the long drive while enjoying the best views of town.

The Carnarvon Space and Technology Museum is worth checking out as well.

Note : At the time of writing, the stromatolite boardwalk is under maintenance and can’t be accessed, so double-check before visiting ( here ).

We recognise the traditional owners of this land we are exploring between Carnarvon and Exmouth. Known as the Maya, Payungu and Thalanji land and/or people.

Carnarvon is famous for its delicious local produce, so you could start your day by doing some of the Fruit Loop Trail. You’ll drive through some of those spots anyway on your way to Exmouth!

Grab the trail map here . Pick up some Banana or Mango Icecream at Bumbaks !

The trip from Carnarvon to Exmouth will be a bit monotonous at times, but you can stop at Minilya Bridge Roadhouse to grab a bite and stretch your legs.

From there, you can either drive the remaining 2 hours to Exmouth or stop in the small but beautiful town called Coral Bay for a night or two!

Things to do at Coral Bay:

• Go swimming with Manta Rays and turtles
• Go paddleboarding, take a sand dunes tour or watch sunset at Bill’s Bay
• Visit Five Fingers Reef and Oyster Bridge (4wd only)
• Visit the baby shark nursery a short walk from town
• Eat at Fin’s bar, Coral Resort Bakery or the Reef Cafe.

If you have a 4wd vehicle and want to go off the beaten track, check out the dirt road drive from Coral Bay to Exmouth. There are many remote campsites you can stay at but book in advance as they fill up in the busy season.

The stunning scenes of Coral Bay and Exmouth

If you follow this itinerary, you will spend a full day in Coral Bay ( Day 10 ) but you can break up the drive to Exmouth, stretch your legs, snorkel the Ningaloo Reef, and/or grab a bite at Fin’s .

Then it’s just a 1.5-hour drive until you reach Exmouth!

You’ll probably get there by evening. If you’re able to catch the sunset, definitely head up to either the Vlamingh Head Lighthouse or Charles Knife Canyon for some of the best views in the area.

Both spots offer panoramic vistas of the coastline and are the perfect place to watch the sky change colours as the sun dips below the horizon.

Day 10: Exmouth to Coral Bay (1h 30m)

You’ll start your journey back to Perth, but not before spending one more day enjoying the Ningaloo Reef from Coral Bay.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Christopher Dinham and Rebecca Davies (@salt.and.charcoal)

If you want to swim with manta rays, Coral Bay is the place to be. They are permanent residents of these waters! There are a few epic tours to choose from , too, including quad biking and snorkelling.

That said, this town has more tourists than residents at any given time. This makes it quite expensive compared to Exmouth, so here’s a list of free things to do in Coral Bay .

Also, make sure to book any tours you want to do as well as accommodation ahead of time.

Where to stay in Coral Bay?

Best Caravan Park: Peoples Park offers comfortable and well-equipped accommodations perfect for families or groups. It’s a 4-minute walk from the town centre and sleeps 4 to 6.

S&C Travel Tip

Day 11: Coral Bay to Shark Bay/ Monkey Mia (5h 50m)

Your journey back to Perth officially starts today, with an almost 6-hour drive to Monkey Mia, a popular destination nestled in Shark Bay Heritage Area and famous for its resident dolphins.

You can break the drive in Carnarvon or in any of the roadhouses along the highway. However, here are a few spots you can also check out:

Hamelin Pool if you didn’t visit it on your way to Exmouth.

Shell Beach, one of the few beaches in the world made entirely from shells. It’s a great spot to stretch your legs, take photo memories or go for a swim ( it’s right here ).

If you have a 4WD, visit Francois Peron National Park (entry fee of $17)

Day 12: Shark Bay / Monkey Mia to Geraldton (4h)

You can start your day in Monkey Mia to check out the dolphin experience. You can see the dolphins up close during their feeding session, near the jetty .

This wasn’t our favourite place it felt like an overhyped zoo, but it is very popular for families and the kids absolutely love it.

After meeting the dolphins, you can rent a kayak or paddleboard to explore the calm waters of Shark Bay on your own.

The area is great for hikes too, there are several trail starts near the visitor centre with beautiful views and opportunities to spot local wildlife.

Once you’re ready, it’s time to start your drive back down to Geraldton. You can either stop at the mutliple rest stops on the way or take the detour back to Kalbarri for a night.

Shark Bay is not to be missed on your road trip

It would add an extra hour to the total driving time, but it can be worth it if you want a cool spot to stretch your legs and grab a bite. Plus, it’s another opportunity to check out Pink Lake!

You’ll probably reach Geraldton by the evening, so consider going to the HMAS Sydney II Memorial for a nice sunset view.

Where to stay in Geraldton?

Best Caravan park: Belair Gardens Caravan Park is perfect for recreational activities. It has an outdoor pool and playground. It’s a 7-minute drive from the town centre and sleeps 7.

Have breakfast and explore more of Geraldton before heading to the gorgeous Jurien Bay, famous for its top-notch snorkelling, beautiful beaches, and the resident sea lions!

If you have a 4WD, do not miss Sandy Cape … It’s stunning! Plus you can rent a sandboard there to have some fun in the dunes.

Then have lunch/dinner and have a good rest, because tomorrow is the grand finale!

Where to stay in Jurien Bay?

Day 14: Jurien Bay to Perth (2h 30m)

As the last day of your trip, why don’t kick it off with a sea lion tour or a skydiving experience? You can’t go wrong either way.

If you want to do a sea lion tour, you’ll hop on a boat to nearby islands so you can swim and interact with these beautiful and friendly creatures up close.

As for skydiving, you’ll have the absolute best views of the bay and the islands. It’s one of the most popular activities to do in Jurien Bay for a reason!

Both tours take place in the morning, so you’ll be in Perth by evening.

7-day Perth to Exmouth road trip itinerary

If you only have 1 week for this road trip, cut the previous itinerary in half by doing this instead:

Day 1: Perth to Kalbarri via Hutt Lagoon (6 h)

Day 2: Kalbarri to Carnarvon (4h 40m)

Day 3: Carnarvon to Exmouth (3h 45m)

Day 4-5: Spend 2 full days in Exmouth.

Day 5: Exmouth to Coral Bay (1h 30m)

Day 6: Coral Bay to Geraldton (7h 15m)

Day 7: Geraldton to Perth (4h 20m)

What’s the quickest way to get to Exmouth by car?

Let’s say you don’t want to fly from Perth to Exmouth or vice versa. You want to go there by car and want to spend as much time as possible in Exmouth.

In that case, you could be there in two days , breaking the trip to Hamelin Pool.

It would be tough. Just be very careful when driving at dawn or dusk, as wildlife tends to be more active during those times.

The itinerary would look like this:

Day 1 – Drive from Perth to Hamelin Pool. It’s a 7.5-hour trip, ~730 kilometres. You’d go inland via National Route 1. Stop at Badgingarra and either Geraldton or Northampton to stretch your legs and grab a bite. There’s a caravan park in Hamelin Pool where you can stay overnight without having to drive the extra 1.5 hours into Monkey Mia.

Day 2 – Drive from Hamelin Pool to Exmouth. It’s a 6-hour trip, ~588 kilometres, still on National Route 1. Stop at Carnarvon and Coral Bay before the final 1.5-hour stretch to Exmouth.

If you can’t find accommodation in Hamelin Pool, then it’s best to break the trip in Kalbarri. It’s a bit of a detour, but it’s not as bad as the detour to Monkey Mia.

Once in Exmouth, we recommend spending a few days in Cape Range National Park, which is a 1-hour drive from Exmouth. There are a few great campsites there and that’s where most of the epic beaches and hikes are!

Have more days? Add these spots

Western Australia is absolutely stunning but massive . It would take around a month and a half to do an entire road trip of it ( here’s the full itinerary of a Western Australia road trip if you’re keen ).

So if you can tick off a few bucket-list destinations during your visit to Exmouth, definitely do it! Particularly Karijini and/or Broome:

Return to Perth via Karijini (4WD only)

If you have 5-6 extra days and you’re travelling between April to September, definitely consider extending your trip to Karijini. It is one of the best sights to see in Australia!

The park is famous for being a desert oasis, with dramatic gorges ( here are the best ones ), crystal-clear rock pools, and stunning waterfalls, making it an ideal spot for hiking, swimming with waterfalls, wildlife spotting and photography.

The most incredible landscape here!

The trails here cater to all levels, from easy walks like the Fern Pool to more challenging treks like Weano Gorge .

We recommend staying at Karijini Eco Retreat .

Keep reading: Top 10 things to do in Karijini

Continue to Broome

This is 100% worth doing if you have an extra 5 days and you’re visiting between June -September.

Broome is a laid-back town with a rich history and some seriously stunning natural scenery, making it a top spot for any traveller.

Cable Beach is unmissable with its 22 kilometres of soft, white sand and clear turquoise waters. It’s perfect for a day of sunbathing, swimming, and camel rides at sunset – an iconic Broome experience.

If you’re keen to explore more, take a trip up to Gantheaume Point . At low tide, you can spot 130-million-year-old dinosaur footprints preserved in the reef rock!

There’s also Coconut Wells , a group of rock pools that only show themselves at low tide.

A good place to stay is RAC Cable Beach , with caravan spots and cabins to choose from.

Keep reading: 15 epic things to do in Broome

Planning your road trip from Perth to Exmouth

Keep this in mind to make the most out of your road trip:

Buy a park pass

You’ll visit a few national parks during your journey. For some of them, you have to pay an entry fee of around $17 per vehicle which can quickly add up.

It might be best to purchase a holiday park pass. These give you unlimited entry to any WA park for 5 days, 2 weeks, or 4 weeks depending on which option you choose. Get them here .

You’ll have to print it and display it on your vehicle window.

When are you going to visit?

The best time to visit Exmouth is between March and October, within this time is the whale shark (March – July), humpback whale (June – October), and wildflower season (July, August and in some areas of WA May – October). Plus the weather this time of year is excellent for hiking.

But regardless of when you visit, always check out the Parks Alerts System website for any active alerts (fires, jellyfish warnings, etc).

How many days to spend in Exmouth?

The bare minimum we recommend is 3-4 days, when we went here we stayed 2 months and still didn’t want to leave!

For a holiday, we honestly recommend spending 1 full week in Exmouth. This will give you ample time to explore the town, the reef, and Cape Range National Park.

Getting there by plane

This is an excellent option if you want to spend as much time as possible in Exmouth.

There are direct flights from Perth to Exmouth, so you can be there in under 2 hours! We recommend booking your flights through Trip.com because they always find the best deals. Check the current deals here .

That said, you need a car to get around Exmouth. Thankfully, you can conveniently rent one at Learmonth Airport via Rental Cars .

Is there public transport from Perth to Exmouth?

No, there’s no public transport at the moment to take you from Perth to Exmouth. The furthest you could go is to Kalbarri, as TransWa has a few routes available ( more info here ).

You still need to rent a vehicle to finish the trip and there aren’t many car rentals in Kalbarri. So it’s best to either rent a vehicle from Perth or fly to Exmouth and rent one at the airport .

Do you need a 4WD for Exmouth?

You don’t need a 4WD to Exmouth unless you want to go off-road or plan on going to Karijini National Park at some point in your trip.

If you’re not bringing your own vehicle, you can rent one in Perth. Rental Cars can help you with that, as they scan through all the rentals available to find you the best deals. Try it out here !

Should I rent a caravan for this road trip?

We recommend renting one as it can be more cost-effective in the end. You won’t have to rent a car and book accommodation separately, plus you can stay in free or cheap campsites along the way.

It also gives you more freedom in your itinerary!

But if you want to camp at Cape Range National Park, you will have to book it months in advance. Factor that in.

With that in mind, here are a few great caravan rentals to check out:

Travellers Autobarn is the cheapest caravan rental out there, without sacrificing quality. Check Autobarn rentals here .

JUCY campervans is the middle ground. Their caravans are often bigger than Autobarn’s while still keeping good prices. Check JUCY rentals here .

Star RV is the best for premium campervans. If you want to go on an adventure without sacrificing comfort, go straight to Star RV. Check Star RV rentals here .

Don’t want to drive? Do this instead

You can still do a road trip from Perth to Exmouth without having to do all the driving – with a tour!

There are a few epic tours available. The main advantage is that they take care of pretty much everything, including accommodation and most meals, plus you’ll be with a tour guide at all times.

Some take you to Exmouth and back to Perth while others are one-way so you can spend more time in Exmouth. We reviewed them all here , but if you want a quick answer, here are the best ones:

Be extra careful at dawn and dusk, as wild animals are at their most active and can cross the roads suddenly.

Also, take regular breaks to avoid fatigue and share driving if possible. This is particularly important if you’ll do this in summer (December-February) as temperatures get very high.

Did you know?

The region around Exmouth is home to the Learmonth Solar Observatory and is part of the worldwide network monitoring the sun’s activity.

There’s also a nearby naval communication station, the Harold E. Holt Station, which hosts one of the world’s most powerful transmission stations, used mostly for communication with submerged submarines.

Can you drive Perth to Exmouth in one day?

You could drive the 13 hours from Perth to Exmouth, but that doesn’t mean that you should! It’s a very long trip. You could do it in two days, breaking the trip in Kalbarri or Hamelin Pool.

Do you need a 4WD to drive to Exmouth?

No, you don’t need a 4WD to drive to Exmouth as all roads are sealed and well-maintained. But you need one if you want to go to Francois Peron National Park in Shark Bay.

The bottom line

Road-tripping from Perth to Exmouth is an absolute must for anyone looking to take in some of Western Australia’s most stunning coastal views and marine life.

There is SO much to see – the vibrant colours of Pink Lake, the rugged landscapes of Kalbarri, the charming vibes of Jurien Bay, the unspoiled landscapes of Shark Bay and Monkey Mia…

No wonder you need 2 weeks to truly take it all in.

Even though it’s a long journey, you won’t regret any of it. Hopefully, this itinerary helps you plan the trip easily, so you focus on enjoying the ride!

Where can you charge your electric vehicle in Rhode Island? Here's a map.

PROVIDENCE – Rhode Island has seen a big increase in the number of electric vehicles on its roads.

Just in the last year alone, the total has jumped by more than 50% to nearly 12,000, according to the latest data from the state Department of Environmental Management. 

If you just bought an EV in Rhode Island, you may be wondering – what about charging stations?

Are there enough to power up all those new EVs? 

Give up your gas car? What to know as RI moves to phase out sales of gas-powered vehicles

Are there enough charging stations in Rhode Island for EVs?

The short answer is yes, if you’re going by federal guidelines.  

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends a level 2 charging port (the standard charger that takes several hours to recharge a battery) for every 25 electric cars.

With 310 charging locations, totaling some 730 level 2 and fast-charging ports, Rhode Island is well beyond that mark. The state has at least one level 2 port for every 16 vehicles. 

How many EV charging locations are there in Rhode Island?

• There are currently 310 charging locations and 730 Level 2 fast-charging ports

Rhode Island EV charging station map

The state's Office of Energy Resources has a map of all charging locations in the state and beyond

• The map also has information on the type and number of chargers at a location, and cost

Are more EV chargers coming to Rhode Island?

Because other policymakers recommend a higher ratio of charging ports to help encourage drivers to switch to emissions-free cars and trucks,, Rhode Island is using $23 million in federal funds to add more chargers in key parts of the state. 

The aim is to build out the charging network along Interstate 95, the state’s main transportation corridor. 

To start with, the state is building two new fast-charging ports at the Ashaway Park & Ride location off I-95, and another two at the Warwick Park & Ride, also just off the highway.

The ports can charge EVs to 80% of their battery capacity in 20 to 40 minutes.

All told, under the plan being coordinated by the state Office of Energy Resources, a nother 400 level 2 ports and 100 fast-charging ports could be installed across Rhode Island over the next few years. 

A map of the charging locations can be found online at energy.ri.gov/transportation/ev-charging/electric-vehicle-charging-station-locator
