Honeymoon in Karimunjawa that is Affordable Yet Still Romantic
For newly married couples, what short-term dream could be better than going on a honeymoon in Karimunjawa? However, during this pandemic, when savings need to be tightened because everything is difficult, it’s not possible to splurge on honeymoon expenses, right? Well, for friends who want to have a honeymoon but are still budgeting, you can go to Karimunjawa Island.
Why Karimunjawa?
Karimunjawa is a tropical paradise in Indonesia with such exotic views. This island located in Central Java has many tourist destinations that can be fun and romantic! How could it not be romantic when there are so many beaches where you can enjoy the sunrise or sunset with your partner? Oh, how romantic!
Besides the beaches, Karimunjawa Island also has adrenaline-pumping tourist destinations, such as swimming with sharks. This destination is located on Menjangan Besar Island. A little fear is okay, right, as long as your partner is by your side?
There is also Love Hill which has many Instagrammable photo spots. Quite nice to beautify your Instagram feed while showing off a little that you’re having fun with your partner after getting married! This hill is located in Jati Kerep Hamlet, Karimunjawa Village.
Through Tour & Travel Services or Backpacking, Just as Romantic
A honeymoon indeed needs to be well-prepared so that both feel comfortable, right? Well, in the midst of this pandemic, when it turns out that blessings are still flowing, both partners must be busy to increase future savings. Perhaps, buying a honeymoon package from a tour & travel provider could be a solution.
Usually, they will provide packages with options for how long, and of course, the longer it is, the more expensive it gets. However, practically, they have everything arranged. From accommodations, destination choices, to meal menus during the honeymoon! In fact, tour & travel providers also offer photography services to capture those honeymoon moments. So, couples just need to enjoy it.
Now, for those who are budgeting, there are certainly other solutions. Access to Karimunjawa Island is quite easy. For couples coming from outside the city, they can take a train to Semarang and then a bus to Jepara. The stopping point before heading to Karimunjawa Island is Kartini Port in Jepara, friends.
Once you are at Kartini Port, it means you are safe. From there, you can take a ferry which is cheaper than the express boat. You only need to spend around Rp70,000 per person, which means for a couple it’s no more than Rp150,000, right? Economical!
Accommodation Options in Karimunjawa and Their Prices
For accommodation, you can choose a guest house for more privacy starting from Rp250,000 per night. With accommodation sorted, it’s time to think about what other tourist destinations can be visited to add to the romance? Oh, there are many! From diving and snorkeling so couples can take photos underwater, to taking pictures on the hill, and chatting while waiting for the sunset on the beach! At night, when you feel reluctant to return to the accommodation because you’ve come all the way to Karimunjawa, you can have a simple dinner at the Karimunjawa square. It’s usually crowded, though. However, for newlyweds, that’s not a problem at all. Because when you’re in love, this noisy world feels like it belongs to just the two of you, right?
Actually, whether using tour & travel services or backpacking with your partner, both are economical and romantic. Because, of course, a honeymoon in Karimunjawa doesn’t cost as much as a vacation to Hawaii. Love local tourism too!
