Discover Croatia’s Breathtaking Destinations

Croatia is a land of diverse beauty, where each region tells its own story. In the north, Istria boasts an Italian flair with its hilltop villages and truffle-rich forests. As you head south, the glow of historic cities and the azure sea surround you. A visit to Croatia isn't complete without strolling through the ancient alleyways of Dubrovnik, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Adriatic." This UNESCO World Heritage site enchants with its medieval walls and timeless views of the sea.

Further inland, the Plitvice Lakes National Park presents a spectacle of cascading lakes and vibrant flora, standing as a living testimonial to nature's beauty. Here, you can wander through lush forests and witness the splendour of turquoise waters flowing over limestone barriers. Customized travel packages to Croatia often include guided tours of these national wonders, offering travellers an up-close look at the country's natural splendor.

Immerse in Unique Cultural Experiences

Embracing its rich history and diverse influences, Croatia’s cultural tapestry is as enthralling as its landscapes. From traditional klapa music echoing through coastal towns to mouth-watering feasts featuring fresh seafood and locally sourced produce, each experience leaves an indelible mark on your journey.

Zagreb, Croatia’s bustling capital, effortlessly blends historical charm with modern vibrancy. It's a city where you can sip coffee at quaint cafés, explore contemporary art galleries, and enjoy the spirited atmosphere of street festivals. Tailored travel packages to Croatia ensure you experience the essence of local life, whether through a cooking class in a family-run restaurant or an exclusive wine tasting in the renowned vineyards of Pelješac Peninsula.

Unwind with Culinary Delights

Croatia’s cuisine is a delightful amalgamation of flavours, drawing from Mediterranean, Central European, and Balkan influences. Along the coast, indulge in dishes like grilled fish drizzled with olive oil and accompanied by local herbs. Inland, savour hearty stews and pastas, paired with fine Croatian wines or rakija, a traditional fruit brandy.

Beyond the well-trodden paths, personalized travel packages Croatia introduce you to lesser-known culinary gems. Picture yourself enjoying a private dinner aboard a sailboat as the sun sets over the Adriatic, or perhaps sampling fresh oysters from the bed of Mali Ston.

Practical Travel Tips for Your Croatian Adventure

  • Perfect Timing: For the best weather and fewer crowds, visit in late spring or early autumn.
  • Getting Around: Croatia has an efficient transport network. While buses and trains are convenient for long distances, renting a car provides flexibility to explore off-the-beaten-track destinations.
  • Currency: The Croatian Kuna is the local currency, though Euros are widely accepted. Credit cards are commonly used in cities and tourist resorts.
  • Language: Croatian is the official language, but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas.

Embark on your journey with one of the bespoke Croatia travel packages, each carefully crafted to match your interests and pace. From sipping wine in sun-drenched vineyards to exploring cobblestone lanes lined with history, every moment in Croatia promises to captivate and enrich your soul. Let these personalized experiences unveil the hidden gems of this Adriatic paradise, beckoning you to create unforgettable memories.

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.

Bijal and Martin (tour guide in Kenya) made this the trip of a lifetime. I felt safe every minute of the trip. I did not care for the travel from the Serengeti to Ngorogoro Crater. I felt the last hotel was too far from the crater i was exhausted not wanted to travel to the crater. The travel was absolutely brutal for 6 hoursKathie Becker

Our safari in Tanzania was excellent. Brooke Theron, our Goway representative, was easy to work with, responsive and knowledgeable. Our guide in Tanzania, Anwar Razak, was outstanding. His knowledge and his driving ability was impressive. He was also engaging. We enjoyed our time with Anwar. The camps that Goway recommended were comfortable, welcoming and surprisingly luxurious while capturing the essence of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had a wonderful trip. Jack B.

I am so happy to use Goway for my tour experience while visiting Vietnam during Oct 15 through October 29, 2026. We had 3 very good, thoughtful, and caring guides in Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City. They were very knowledgeable for each of their respective areas. they all fulfilled every part of our itinerary. I wish to give an extra acknowledgment to my guide in Danang and Hoi An. Mr. Phung Van Hung was very friendly and caring for me. During my stay in Hoi An, I became sick and required a visit to the local hospital in Hoi An. I contacted Mr. Phung, and he graciously offered to take me and stay with me to interpret during my visit for medical care even though he was not working that day. I really appreciate his extra above and beyond service he provided. I really must let Goway know, he is a wonderful guide!George C.

Suzzette and her team provided exceptional support throughout our year‑long planning process for our Bali group. Despite multiple changes, updates, and last‑minute cancellations, she remained organized, responsive, and solution‑focused. Asia Trails Indonesia delivered a seamless experience from arrival to departure, and our guides, Dayu and Adit, were outstanding; prompt, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The coordination across multiple departure cities, the curated excursions, and the overall flow of the itinerary were executed beautifully. My group thoroughly enjoyed the trip and is already asking about returning. I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories Travel

Mike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip. We added in a few complex details and he maneuvered around them creating smooth transitions. Planning an overseas 11 day trip can be overwhelming and Mike made everything feel easy. I highly recommend!Amy Challgren

Goway staff was available to us throughout our entire trip to Costa Rica. Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours. We have been totally impressed with their involvement with our travel agent and their complete resolution of the only problem we had during the 2 different international trips that we have taken.Diana McCrory

Thank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYD

This was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce Robinson
