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.

Allan Birkett at Goway has been an absolute godsend! Over the past year, he has helped me plan numerous vacations—especially honeymoons—and has been an incredible partner every step of the way. He is always quick to respond, patient with my clients' frequent changes, and goes above and beyond to help whenever an issue comes up. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
