day-trip
No overnight needed
A day-trip is an excursion completed within a single day, without overnight stay: We took a day-trip to the coast.
The term implies leisure travel to a destination close enough to visit and return home the same day.
As a verb, to day-trip is to make such an excursion.
One who does so is a day-tripper.
