TripAdvisor
TripAdvisor is one of the most (if not the most!) popular travel guidance platforms. It's a one-stop shop for best honeymoon destinations, accommodation deals, booking experiences, reserving tables and discovering great places nearby. Moreover, TripAdvisor offers millions of reviews and recommendations from seasoned travelers and other honeymooners that can help you plan your perfect trip with confidence.
TripIt
Once you have all of your honeymoon bookings on hand, download TripIt. It’s yet another great app that makes travel planning fast and easy. In just a few clicks, TripIt puts together all the elements of your travel plan to make up a cohesive travel itinerary. You just need to forward all your confirmation emails (flights, hotels, etc.) to the app - and that’s it! The service also offers check-in reminders and real-time alerts, so you can always stay informed of any delays or cancellations.
PackPoint
Packing bags for a long trip can be quite the adventure in itself. There's just so many things you have to think of, that it makes you worry about forgetting something important. PackPoint takes the stress out of packing! All you have to do is enter your destination, travel dates and activities, and the app will create a customized list of what you'll need for your honeymoon. PackPoint easily syncs with the TripIt app, which makes the packing process even quicker.
Timeshifter
Heading off for your honeymoon is so exciting! But dealing with jet lag that comes with travel? Not so much. If you don't want it to ruin the experience, Timeshifter might be a great service to try. The app helps travelers start adjusting way before their departure. Timeshifter uses neuroscience to create highly personalized jet lag plans based on your age, gender, chronotype, specific sleep patterns, itinerary, and personal preferences.
AllTrails
For an adventure-filled honeymoon, use AllTrails. A perfect companion for everything outdoors, the app provides the best hiking, biking and running trails with photos and reviews written by a community of experienced hikers and enthusiasts. With a paid subscription, you can use maps offline, get wrong-turn alerts, and access extra planning features. AllTrails recommends what to pack for your adventure and suggests the best scenic spots to check out.
Notion
With Notion you can write, plan and get organized in one place. It's a versatile service that offers a variety of tools such as task managing, project tracking, to-do lists, and bookmarking.
