Escape to the Pristine Beaches

Envision yourself on the powdery sands of Boracay, where the pristine waters create a mesmerizing blue horizon. This island paradise is famed for its beautiful sunsets and lively nightlife. Meanwhile, Palawan—often dubbed the last frontier of the Philippines—enchants with its stunning limestone cliffs and crystal-clear lagoons of El Nido and Coron. These destinations are prime choices for custom vacation packages to the Philippines, offering idyllic settings for relaxation or adventure.

Dive into the Philippines’ Marine Wonders

The Philippines is a diver’s paradise, with world-renowned spots like Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and Apo Reef. Adventurers can explore these underwater marvels, teeming with diverse marine life and vibrant coral gardens. Whether you're an experienced diver or a snorkelling enthusiast, the warm waters of these reefs promise an unforgettable aquatic journey.

Embrace the Rich Cultural Heritage

Cultural travellers will find delight in the Philippines’ rich history and traditions. Visit the historic city of Vigan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to wander its cobblestone streets filled with Spanish colonial architecture. In Manila, the dynamic capital city, you can step back in time at Intramuros, a 16th-century walled city that reveals glimpses of the country’s colonial past.

Savour the Flavours of the Philippines

No tour of the Philippines is complete without indulging in its culinary delights. From the savoury-sweet balance of adobo to the rich, coconut-infused kare-kare, Filipino cuisine is a remarkable fusion of flavours. Be sure to try the fresh seafood in coastal areas, and for the adventurous palate, a taste of balut—a unique local delicacy.

Trek the Majestic Landscapes

For those seeking adventures beyond the beaches, the Philippines offers lush landscapes and thrilling hikes. The Banaue Rice Terraces, carved into the mountains of Ifugao over 2,000 years ago, offer breathtaking views and a testament to the ingenuity of indigenous peoples. Head to Mt. Pulag, the highest peak in Luzon, for an awe-inspiring trek above the clouds, a perfect addition to any tours of the Philippines.

Explore Vibrant Festivals and Events

Join in the exuberant celebrations across the islands, where Filipinos' joie de vivre is on full display. Events like the Sinulog Festival in Cebu or the Ati-Atihan in Aklan showcase lively parades and indigenous traditions, infused with colourful costumes and rhythmic dances. These festivals offer travellers an authentic glimpse into the nation’s spirited culture.

I have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime! Kayla Covello

I have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen
