Everything on the list was rounded up to the closest price. Total expenses while we’re there is Rp 482,000 including everything you need. It’s more than enough.
Without meals it costs us Rp 413,000.

I said that was not the cheapest way to do the trip. There are still some points where you can cut off to make it a lot more cheaper. For example :
*day2 :
·         Snorkling set, we only rent 3 sets of snorkling set so each two person of us use it alternately.
·         Transit fees, you can visit another island that is free of charge instead. That ways you’ll cut off about Rp 30,000 expenses.
*day3 :
·         I suggest you not to use the guide service. Karimunjawa is a small island and I can assure you that you’ll never get lost in here. You’ll cut off another Rp 50,000.
*day4 :
·         Again about the snorkling set, as in day2 you just need about half amount of the member in your tour.
·         This is the crucial part, you’ll cut off another Rp 150,000 if you get rid the underwater camera part. I suggest you to brought your own Camera, it would be better if it is an underwater camera.

That way you'll have a 5 days trip in Karimunjawa cost less than...
Rp 400,000!!! How is that not amazing?
