Discover the Charm of Dubrovnik

Begin your Croatian adventure in Dubrovnik, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Adriatic." Walk along the city’s iconic medieval walls, offering panoramic views of the shimmering coast and terracotta rooftops below. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Old Town of Dubrovnik is a maze of cobbled streets, each leading you to quaint cafes and historic landmarks. Don’t miss the chance to explore the Franciscan Monastery, which houses one of the world's oldest pharmacies, still in operation since the 14th century.

Kayaking in the Adriatic

For those who crave a bit of adventure, consider a kayaking tour around the city's fortress-lined shores. This immersive experience provides a unique perspective of Dubrovnik's majestic skyline and offers opportunities to discover secluded caves and hidden beaches. Such tours of Croatia enhance the beauty of this coastal nation from a different angle.

Explore the Natural Beauty of Plitvice Lakes National Park

No visit to Croatia is complete without venturing into the ethereal landscape of Plitvice Lakes National Park. This natural wonder features a series of cascading lakes and waterfalls set against a backdrop of lush forests. Well-maintained wooden footbridges wind through the park, providing scenic walking routes across turquoise waters. Opt for one of the best travel packages to Croatia that includes a guided tour of this park to learn about its diverse ecology and history.

Stunning Flora and Fauna

The park is home to a variety of animal species, including brown bears and rare birds, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts. Visiting during different seasons offers a spectrum of colours, from the green hues of spring to the fiery autumn foliage, ensuring you witness the park's dynamic beauty.

Indulge in Istrian Gastronomy

Food lovers will find a haven in the Istrian Peninsula, renowned for its gourmet cuisine. Enjoy a culinary journey sampling local dishes, from fresh seafood risottos to truffle-infused delights. Wine tours offer tastings of Istria's acclaimed Malvasia and Teran wines, reflecting the region's unique terroir.

Truffle Hunting Adventures

Take your gastronomic experience further by joining a truffle hunting tour. Walk through serene oak forests with trained dogs, searching for these underground treasures. This hands-on activity not only enriches your palate but also deepens your appreciation for Croatia’s culinary heritage.

Sail the Dalmatian Islands

The Dalmatian coast is dotted with idyllic islands, each with its own character and charm. Set sail from the historic port of Split and explore the vibrant nightlife of Hvar or the tranquil beaches of Vis, often regarded as Croatia's most beautiful island. Sailing tours are among the best Croatia tours, offering intimate glimpses of secluded bays and coastal villages.

Cultural Festivities

Don't miss local festivals, like the annual Summer Festival in Hvar, where you can dance under the stars to live traditional music. Engaging in local festivities provides an authentic experience, giving insight into the region's vibrant culture.

Navigating the wonders of Croatia can be as laid-back or action-packed as you desire. From historic cities drenched in culture to serene natural landscapes, creating your personalized itinerary with the best travel packages to Croatia ensures an unforgettable escapade.

One of the most memorable traditions travellers should experience in Croatia is the Sinjska Alka. Held every August in the town of Sinj, near Split, it’s a centuries-old knights’ tournament where horsemen in traditional uniforms gallop at full speed trying to spear a small iron ring (“alka”) with their lances

One common misconception travellers have about Croatia is that it’s only about Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian coast. Inland regions like Zagreb, Istria, and Slavonia offer wine routes, truffle hunting, castles, and cultural festivals. Nature is also often overlooked. Beyond the famous Plitvice Lakes, there are mountains for hiking, rivers for rafting, and even thermal spas.

In early fall, the sea is still warm from the summer heat, making it perfect for swimming. Fall is also grape and truffle harvest season, which is ideal for food and wine lovers.

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

Everything was planned perfectly. The excursions were so small and personal. Ask for Mark! I have already planned another trip back to the Oregon wine country with Mark. Claire
