Movies and dramas make it appear as simple as hopping onto a plane after the wedding, you have to put in some effort in planning.

Well, are you looking forward to a perfect Hawaii honeymoon but feel skeptical about how to create it the trip of a lifetime? Then, worry not because we have articulated the most efficient and easy-to-follow tips below. Read more to unravel!

1. Plan Everything Ahead

Never plan a honeymoon trip at the 11th hour, especially if you want to make it a trip of a lifetime. You see, a good honeymoon trip demands attention and concentration when planning. You have to consider the location, procedures, budget, availability, and much more. Hence, we strongly recommend planning every single aspect of your honeymoon trip at least 1 to 3-months ahead of the big day.

2. Be Expressive

While planning, it is of utmost importance to discuss things with your partner. Both of you can conduct research, articulate lists, and then cross-check for ideas. Indeed, the situation might be different if you are planning a surprise honeymoon. However, it is still wise to indirectly learn about your partner’s preferences before putting the plan into action.

Besides, you can also seek advice from family and friends. Discuss the matter with them to learn about the trip procedures and efficient ways to handle them. If you are sure about traveling abroad, then it is recommendable to involve a travel agent to deal with the trip procedures. With the pandemic, a professional travel agent will be able to guide you better.

3. Select an Enjoyable Place

Yes, it may sound exciting to follow a honeymoon schedule you saw on the internet, but please don’t. Remember, this trip is all for you and your partner. So, it must be unique, dynamic, and something that truly excites both of you.

Hence, when selecting a place, consider each other’s preferences. It can be a trip to France or a drive into the local suburbs. If you aren’t sure, then it is always an excellent option to explore new places.

4. Check Availability

With the prevailing COVID-19 situation, several tourist places have closed down international flights temporarily. So, once you’ve narrowed down the list of places, check which ones are open for trips. Perhaps, you may have to turn your dream Hawaii Honeymoon into a Bora Bora one.

Also, communicate with hotels and event managers within the decided location to check their availability. Some hotels and tourist spots may offer bookings of the entire day to keep your trip flawless.

5. Get Insured

Honestly, sometimes, things can be unpredictable. So, apart from having a backup plan ready, it is always better to get travel insurance set up. Nothing can get more upsetting than having to reschedule or relocate your dream honeymoon. But, at least, you will get your finances restored to try out new places to stress freely.

6. Consider the Budget & Costs

On a honeymoon trip, the last thing you would want is to get stressed about scarce finances. Hence, it is vital to calculate the expenses, allocate budget, and cover the costs before the big day.

For proper budgeting, first, calculate how many financial resources are available at hand for honeymoon purposes. Next, calculate the costs of flights, hotels, activities, and every expense included in the stay.

Once you have a figure, add a few extra dollars in it as you must stay prepared if any unseen expense sprouts up at the trip. Now, you have a budget ready! Here’s another tip; pay the hotels and other possible costs in advance so you can avoid stress on the actual journey.

7. Give it a Final Review

Once you’ve decided everything, it’s time to give it a final review. Go through the plan, and ensure you’ve completed every task accurately. When you feel confident, it’s time to put the plan into action. Grab the passports, get the visa, pack your stuff, and enjoy!

8. Don’t Forget the Safety Protocols!

Whether you’re going to another country or on a long drive for a honeymoon, do not forget about the health safety protocols recommended by authorities. Remember, it is still a pandemic, and the Coronavirus still exists. To avoid getting infected, you must be cautious about things surrounding you. Here are some safety protocols to follow even in a honeymoon;

Wear the mask

Use a hand sanitizer

Wipe public use surfaces

Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes

Well, hopefully, the tips mentioned above for creating the trip of a lifetime will prove to be beneficial for all the newlyweds out there. May your dream Hawaii Honeymoon come true!
