Tailor-Made Travel to the Arctic & Antarctica
Unforgettable Natural Adventures in the Arctic & Antarctica
Polar Wildlife
The Arctic and Antarctica are the least-populated parts of the world—at least as far as humans are concerned. With animals, it’s another matter. Despite the cold temperatures and harsh conditions, these regions are bursting with wildlife. Polar bears and penguins might be the most famous residents of these regions, but don’t forget about the seals, whales, dolphins, and endless variety of seabirds that are your company on a polar vacation.
Epic Journeys
When you explore the Arctic or Antarctica, the journey is half the adventure. Sail across the famously tempestuous waters of the Drake Passage alongside migrating humpback whales and massive albatrosses floating on the wind. Venture onto the far-northern icy reaches of Canada or Norway to catch a glimpse of a polar bear with your bare eyes. Slice through frigid waters in a kayak or ride a zodiac to remote islands and live a life most people only dream of.
Retracing History
In the past, explorers such as Ernest Shackleton charted their course into these regions and entered legend. When you head on a trip to the Arctic or Antarctica, you follow in their footsteps and uncover the history of human exploration in the farthest corners of the world. Tour remote whaling stations, ports, and scientific research stations where the fascinating human history of these regions comes alive.

ExcellentBased on 5,298 ReviewsThis was the first time we had utilized Goway. We wanted a custom itinerary for a 3 week Italy, Athens and Greek Island adventure. Edwina Brislane was receptive to our goals for the trip, had helpful suggestions and reacted well to our requested revisions. Lisa Dachuk helped "tie a ribbon" on the trip and ensured we had considered all aspects of the experience. Lisa dealt quickly with a couple of requests while on the trip and celebrated a successful trip with us.
We enjoyed working with both Edwina and Lisa. Their knowledge and enthusiasm contributed to our very memorable trip.Dan & GailI had a great experience booking Australia and New Zealand trip through Goway Travel. Lori Mezzoro was very helpful and organized. All the recommendations she made were very good. I had a great trip with my kids.LauraI recently traveled to Greece with friends, and our entire experience was exceptional thanks to the planning support we received from Avery at GoWay. Every part of our itinerary was organized with care, accuracy, and great attention to detail.
Our accommodations — Hera Hotel Athens and Sofitel Athens Airport — were comfortable, well‑located, and exactly what we needed. All airfares from Calgary and the multiple transfers (airport to city centre, city centre to Piraeus Port, and back again) were perfectly coordinated and made the trip completely stress‑free.
The 7‑night Idyllic Aegean Cruise was a major highlight. It was beautifully arranged and gave us an unforgettable way to explore the islands. Our excursions were equally impressive:
Skip‑the‑Line Acropolis & Acropolis Museum timed entry, which made sightseeing smooth and efficient
Classical Greece: Olympia, Delphi & Meteora, a breathtaking and well‑paced journey through some of Greece’s most iconic historical sites
Avery was consistently responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout the planning process. Every confirmation, transfer, and timing detail was handled flawlessly, allowing us to simply enjoy the trip without worrying about logistics.
I highly recommend GoWay Travel — and especially Avery — for anyone planning a trip to Greece. This was one of the best travel experiences I’ve had, thanks to their outstanding service and organization.LorraineMy husband and I just returned from a wonderful 2 week trip to Chile, South America arranged for us by Goway Travel. Every detail of the trip was outstanding. The hotel choices were perfect for us as were the tours Goway arranged. All the guides were prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable. Our Destination Specialist, Karen Larrota, did an fantastic job setting up the itinerary. Communication with her during the booking process was excellent. The Goway customer service team reached out to us several times during the trip (as did Karen) which was very reassuring.
We have traveled with Goway previously and will surely do so again. Regina ChaplesAn Extraordinary Tour Guide in Xi’an China Leo a blessing we will never forget
There are some people who come into your life and leave footprints on your heart that will last forever, Leo was one of those people for us.
My husband, Keith, and I dreamed of visiting China for more than 30 years and Leo helped make that dream an unforgettable blessing. He was more than a tour guide. He was a wonderful teacher, a caring soul, and a blessing from God.
His knowledge of Chinese history and culture was remarkable from the terra-cotta warriors to the ANCIENT city wall, the Monastery, and the local art gallery, Leo brought every experience to life. He taught us so much and helped us appreciate the beauty and history of China in ways we will never forget.
What touched me most was his compassion for my husband Keith, knowing Keith had difficult breathing and walking long distance and walking Leo thoughtfully arranged a wheelchair so he could enjoy the journey with everyone that kindness meant more to me than words can express
Leo patience, professionalism kindness and genuine care for our group. May every moment special. He make sure we were comfortable learned something new and enjoyed authentic Chinese food and created memories we will cherish for a lifetime
I truly believe God placed special people in our lives for a reason, and Leo was certainly one of those blessings for our group. We are forever grateful for the knowledge, laughter, compassion, and beautiful memorial. He gave us
I recommend Leo wholeheartedly, to anyone visiting Xi’an China. You will leave with more than photograph you will leave, with knowledge appreciation, and memories that stay in your heart forever
Leo may God continue to bless you, protect you, and guide you as you touch the lives of travelers from around the world. Thank you for being such a beautiful part of our China story. You will never be forgotten
With love and gratitude
Lisa & KeithLisa PaulMy wife and I have just returned from our 5th trip with Goway. Once again everything ran smoothly from first day to last. This trip was the 9 day all Ireland tour which covered both north & south Ireland. The tour was operated by Rabbies tours whom we used in Scotland and the 16 passenger van only had 6 passengers including us.Other than a couple of days the weather was prety good although the wind did get a bit wild. The pub food was delicious & i got a taste for real Guiness. We spent a few extra days in Dublin and found it very expensive, the excange rate didn't help. Our travel consultant Jaqueline personalised the trip and was very helpful. George CroomeWe were able to see the perfect amount of sites during our nearly 3 weeks in Australia. Sam Day was extremely knowledgable about every step of the travel process. He was incredibly patient with all the demand my wife and me had. We really look forward to using his services again.Alan RosenbergMy husband and I booked a tour to Portugal using Goway travel. Working with Phoebe was a pleasure. She responded promptly and professionally to all of my requests, concerns and queries. Our trip was filled with lovely details and unexpected treasures.Kristen RemsenMy trip to China was a wonderful experience, and everything was planned very well. The itinerary was well organized by Ms. Harpreet Litt. The arrangements were smooth, and the overall trip was enjoyable.
I appreciated the attention to detail and the excellent coordination throughout the journey. It was a memorable experience, and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone planning to visit China!edytaHarpreet Litt provided us with a rich experience for our week. She offered good choices for local tour companies. We had a very good guide in Osaka. She is an Osaka resident with good English skills. She took extra pains to include opportunities we requested Osaka was a beautiful city at night. My photos of restaurants and street food were colorful and fun. Food was good too.Noel Chrisman
