NavWhale
How it works

From a few details to a whole trip.

Tell NavWhale where you’re going and how you like to travel. It drafts a personalized day-by-day plan in seconds — then it’s all yours to edit, map, share, and export.

The NavWhale trip composer with destination, dates, travelers, budget, and a style note filled in.

Tell NavWhale where you're headed

A handful of quick fields — destination, dates, who's coming, a daily budget — then a line or two on the vibe in your own words. Skip whatever you don't know yet; borrow a starting line if you're not sure where to begin.

  • One or many destinations, in the order you'll visit
  • Trip length, travelers, and a budget that fits
  • A clarifying question only when it actually matters

NavWhale builds the itinerary

In seconds you get a day-by-day route — real places, neighborhoods, restaurants, transit notes, and timing — researched from the live web and shaped around how you actually like to travel.

  • Real, current places — not generic filler
  • Sensible timing and routing between each stop
  • Costs and travel legs worked out for you

  • Swap activities, add notes, fix the details

Common questions

Do I need an account?
No — you can build your first trip without signing up. We hold onto it and save it to your account the moment you do sign up, so nothing is lost.
How long does it take?
Usually under a minute. Longer trips take a little more time because there's more to research and lay out, day by day.
Is it free?
Yes. NavWhale is free to try, and free during early access — every feature is unlocked. See the pricing page for what Pro will cost down the road.
Can I change what it makes?
Completely. The first draft is just a starting point — drag things around, edit any detail, swap activities, or describe the change you want and NavWhale adjusts the plan.
Can I share or export it?
Yes — share a read-only link, download a PDF in one of four styles, add it to your calendar with an .ics file, or publish it to the community gallery.
Where do the recommendations come from?
NavWhale researches the live web while it plans, so you get real, current places — restaurants, neighborhoods, and sights that actually exist — rather than generic suggestions.
