A preview of our honeymoon in Pulo Cinta Resort, Gorontalo, Indonesia.

Updated (16th December 2018): How to get there:

a. Make reservation, email to heaven@pulocinta.com or go to their website
www.pulocinta.com. Their package is around 3.5mil Rupiah per night currently, that's
about 240usd today. This includes seaside rooms, all meals, airport transports, and
even beers. :)
b. To reach Pulo Cinta Island
- Fly to Gorontalo, Sulawesi Indonesia (Jalaluddin Airport). If no direct flight to
Gorontalo from your place, fly to Jakarta, Indonesia first.
- Then from Jakarta, choose Batik Air or Garuda to Gorontalo diretly. Personally I
would recommend using Batik Air to go. Batik Air flight time will be 2.10am, it will
take 3 hours for you to reach Gorontalo in a direct flight, 6.10am local Gorontalo
time (Jakarta time is UTC+7, while Gorontalo is UTC+8).
- From Gorontalo, the resort will send a van to pick you up, it will take 2 hours village
drives for you to reach the Jetty (called Dermaga in Indonesia).
- From Jetty, the island is just across the sea, 15 minutes on boat.
c. To go back from Pulo Cinta Island.
- Resort will prepare boats and van to fetch you back to Gorontalo Airport (Jalaluddin
Airport)
- There are few local flights that can bring you back to Jakarta, but the best timing
flight would be Garuda Airline, flight time is 1.50pm. It will give you enough time to
wake up, have a proper last day breakfast, spend some time saying good bye to the
Island and friendly staff, and depart from the Island at 10am. You will be able to
reach Airport at around 12.30 noon. This flight will stop-over at Makasar but it's not
a transit, so you just sit tight in the plane, continue your in-flight movies while
waiting for the plane to fly back to Jakarta.

Tips:
1. There is no Wifi in the resort. The only internet or mobile lines you get there is
Telkomsel. For those who traveled from abroad, please get a Telkomsel or if you
prefer roaming using your original line, get connected to Telkomsel, not others.
2. Prepare additional or enough Rupiah or IDR. There are few activities you can do in
the island, and those comes with cost:
a. Island Hooping - Around 800k rupiah for two persons. And please bring Rupiah
when you are going for Island Hooping, why? go to "b" below.
b. Buying Lobsters - Around 500k Rupiah to get two decent big Lobsters. The tour
guide will help you bring back to resort's restaurant and they will grill or cook for
you for free. :)
c. Fishing Trips - Around 600 Rupiah per trip. You get to experience the traditional way
of fishing using just strings, on the wide seas. Whatever you managed to get in the
trip, that will be your additional dish for your dinner. :D
d. There are also Discovery Scuba Diving trip, which cost around 1mil IDR if not
mistaken. I didn't went for this, but they showed me photo of the corals which only
existing in two places in the world, the big trumpet corals, not sure how true is that
but from the photo, it's about more than 1 metres high.

Let me know if you have any questions. Or let me know if you found the information above useful. :D
