Nature-forward getaways dominated travel planning on Plantrip.io on January 28, 2026, with Kangaroo Island emerging as the standout choice among 144 new itineraries. Travelers are mapping five-night stays anchored in Baudin Beach, timing flights into and out of Kingscote in late May, and packing days with coastal landmarks and wildlife encounters.
The South Australian island’s signatures—Admiral’s Arch and Remarkable Rocks—are frequently paired on the same day, while lighthouse circuits to Cape Willoughby and Cape du Couedic, cemetery stops, short coastal walks, the historic Frenchman’s Rock, Salt Lagoon, Seal Bay Conservation Park tours, and even beehive visits round out detailed plans. Several users note dietary planning with gluten-free options, underscoring practical, family-friendly trip design.
European city breaks and rail routes also feature strongly. Venice sees tight two- to three-day cultural stopovers in May, while multi-country rail loops connect France, Switzerland, and Austria in 10–12 days, and Zurich-to-Italian-lakes journeys highlight Jungfraujoch and the Aletsch Glacier. Italy itineraries multiply—from Rome–Naples–Amalfi Coast fall escapes to art-focused Milan arrivals with Lake Como add-ons and food tours in Bologna—alongside Amsterdam city stays and extensive Europe grand tours spanning Sicily to Budapest and Dublin via river cruise.
Across the Americas and Africa, plans range from Cincinnati-to-Key West November getaways and Lisbon–Porto October runs to Costa Rica–Ecuador pairings and Johannesburg month-long stays. Asia-Pacific interest remains broad: Bangkok four-day couples’ breaks with massages and dining, 6–7 day Thailand party circuits through Bangkok, Phuket, and Krabi, 10-day Switzerland trips from India, and a Hyderabad-to-Iceland March adventure. South Asia road and rail pilgrimages are prominent—Mumbai links to Omkareshwar, Ujjain, and Puri with cross-border overland routes to Nepal—while domestic India circuits cover Gujarat’s Dwarka–Somnath–Diu–Gir, Ekta Nagar’s Statue of Unity, Ranthambore safaris, Varanasi weekend worship, and fast-track hill escapes to Kodai via Munnar.
Beach and island fever rounds out the board: St. Thomas long weekends, Havelock Island interest, Bali week-plus honeymoon-leaning retreats, Sharm El Sheikh seven-day sun stays, and Mexico City party weekends signal varied appetites—from nightlife to reefs. Closer to home, micro-itineraries bundle Toronto layovers, Ben Nevis summit days from England, Side (Türkiye) short breaks, and U.S. road trips across Oklahoma City, Nashville, and Virginia. The throughline: concise, purpose-built plans that prioritize iconic sights, efficient transport, and immersive day tours.
