Imagine a place where the sun kisses the sea, and sand cradles your feet on an enchanting journey through India's coastal beauty. Welcome to India, a land of vibrant contrasts where India beach holidays promise more than just sun and surf. Get ready to discover picturesque shores, diverse cultures, and culinary delights that weave an unforgettable tapestry...

Goa: The Quintessential Beach Destination

For anyone picturing India beach vacations, the pristine shores of Goa with their endless stretches of golden sand often spring to mind. Known for its quirky beach shacks, aromatic seafood curries, and alluring nightlife, Goa is a feast for the senses. Explore the palm-fringed Palolem Beach for a tranquil escape or dive into the bustling energy of Calangute, where the thrill seekers meet against a backdrop of splashing waves and rhythmic beats.

Offbeat Bliss at Gokarna

If solitude under the sun is what you seek, Gokarna on India’s west coast offers intimate coves and a laid-back vibe unfound elsewhere. Unlike Goa's lively spirit, Gokarna's vibe is serene, perfect for a contemplative escape. Om Beach, shaped like the spiritual symbol 'Om', offers a tranquil retreat while Half Moon Beach invites you on a scenic trail, unveiling coves that are yours to discover.

The Heritage Coastline of Kerala

Kerala’s backwaters may steal the limelight, but its beaches like Varkala and Kovalam offer an enchanting glimpse into coastal India’s soulful character. The sheer cliffs of Varkala, replete with spiritual resonance, form a stunning belvedere, inviting visitors to imbibe both the vista and the vibrant cultural life below. Relax at the cliffside cafes before venturing into the ancient Janardhana Swami Temple, blessing your trips to India with spiritual tranquility.

Kovalam’s Iconic Lighthouse Beach

Meanwhile, the iconic Lighthouse Beach in Kovalam stands as a beacon for beach-lovers seeking the perfect blend of sun, surf, and seafood. Take in the panoramic views from atop the lighthouse or indulge in holistic wellness at local Ayurvedic spas, infusing your beach escape with rejuvenation.

Tamil Nadu’s Tranquil Shores

The southeastern state of Tamil Nadu, dotted with sublime beaches like Mahabalipuram and Marina, offers a rich cultural interweaving with its sun-drenched coastlines. Stand in awe before the ancient shore temples of Mahabalipuram, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as they whisper tales of a bygone era.

Pristine Marina Beach

Chennai, Tamil Nadu’s capital, hosts the stately Marina Beach – the longest urban beach in India. An evening stroll along its expansive sands, dotted with local vendors selling aromatic roasted peanuts, is simple yet invigorating. These beaches epitomize India beach holidays with an array of sensory experiences.

The Spellbinding Andamans

For those desiring true seclusion, the Andaman Islands present a paradise replete with adventure and tranquility. Known for their biodiversity and turquoise waters, Radhanagar Beach on Havelock Island is often hailed as one of the world’s best beaches. Dive among dazzling coral reefs, explore the lush jungle interiors, or simply bask in the serene beauty that defines these untouched shores.

India’s coastal charm is a vibrant tableau beckoning travellers from all walks of life. Each shore tells its unique story – a diverse spectrum representing the multifaceted heart of India. Whether you're venturing out for India beach vacations or embarking on broader trips to India, the call of the country's beaches promises experiences of unparalleled beauty and discovery, offering the traveller an unmissable chance to savor the rhythm of the tides alongside the pulse of its rich cultural tapestry.

What I love most about visiting India is how alive everything feels. The colours, the food, the people. Every place has its own vibe and story. One moment you’re in a quiet temple, the next you’re in a bustling street market. It’s chaotic in the best way

We were just back from an ambitious 42-day grand circle through seven of the ASEAN countries! An itinerary gestating over a period of time, carefully planned and pore over intently all the way through proved satisfying as expected, but the amazing "embarras de richesse" in six weeks such as we've never experienced before truly went beyond our imagination, both in terms of scenery and culture! Here we owe our destination specialist Taryn a profound gratitude for her insight and for her coordination efforts. When our debit card was not retrievable in an airport ATM Taryn again went out of her way to approve a small loan through transfer to our local guide's bank account, who then withdrew cash from an ATM while we simply paid Goway Travel by credit card through an online payment link. This helped us tremendously through that difficult moment. We will always treasure this kindness on her part.Yuan Lin

Alice was most helpful - full of insider suggestions. She was a good listener and able to provide tours, routes and guides tailored to our interests. She made our February trip to New Zealand entirely wonderful. Marlene

We did a 19 day NZ Rail and Cruise Discovery Tour and then a 12 day Australian tour put together by out specialized travel operator Joanne Palanuik. New Zealand- ABT Tours ran the actual tour and did a fabulous job. The Guide Sharon was great and worked very hard coordinating 32 people. Mostly all Australians and we has so much fun with them! Our driver Chris (a retired policeman) was especially great- he knew so many interesting things about NZ and shared them while driving throughout the trip. We loved him! So many highlights...overnight on a ship in the Milford Sound...cable car to a nature reserve then a Gold Class train ride back...Queenstown adventures..excellent meals along the way...all drivers and transfers were excellent too. Oceana Tours in Melbourne were great as well. A morning city tour and afternoon tour were wonderful. Then the next day to Philips Island for the Penguin moonlit march was sooo special. And the Ocean road cruise too!! Sydney was gorgeous...Bondi Beach...Barrier Reef...Ayers Rock (Uluru) Both Australians and New Zealanders were so helpful and friendly... In short I wish I could do it all over again..highly recommend. Every day was a new adventure :) Kathleen Reardon customer

Katie was a dream to work with. We made many changes to the standard itinerary to customize our trip and she never missed a beat. Her responsiveness and humor made working together a joy and her most common response to our very packed activities was, “can I help with that?” Hotels, car rental all went smoothly and were very much to our liking. The super long flights were laid out to minimize travel time and maximize comfort. Katie and GoWay made this dream trip happen. Faye

Its all about the journey, isn't it? And our journey through Kenya, Africa was amazing and we have Bijal Kana of Goway Travel to thank for it. From the start when we first discussed a true Safari adventure, Bijal was being helpful. Her suggestions were helpful in where to go and how we could save a few dollars when possible. Never trying to be cheap but simply, cost conscious. This was the beginning of what will continue as a forever working relationship in travel. Bijal gained our confidence and trust. And that is a rare commodity these days. Then too there was the staff from Goway and Sense of Africa like Ruth, Wilson and Francis who allowed us to see the non tourist side of Nairobi and became fast friends. The wonderful selections made by Bijal as to where we would stay and all the Serena locations were marvelous. And at the last minute, when a bridge got washed out and we could not get to the last lodge camp, Bijal responded to our whatsapp call immediately and we were placed in the Sorova lodge. True not the same, but in the middle of a game area, who complains? It was great and we had so much fun. The tour selection took us through parks, reserves and conservancy locales. We saw the big 5 and much more. Lions fighting, Hyenas making a chase and ultimate dinner selection, A leopard resting on tree branches, A cheetah stalking and then at rest. Hyena pups and Honbeast babes being birthed. Hippopotamus in the water, Zebra grazing, Elephants crossing rivers en mass. You'd think we hit the National Geographic channel. Great job Bijal. Good deal Goway.customerBram L. Bottfeld

Goway Travel helped us set up a Venice to Athens cruise on Viking and it was fantastic! Our agent (Kimberly) was responsive to all our questions and helpful navigating all the options for excursions, etc. She also gave us a cruise credit we could use while on the ship to help pay for extras. Overall great experience would use Goway again.Stanley

For the past four years, we have travelled to Perth, Australia to visit family. As part of our travels to Perth, we have had stays in Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. This year, as part of our trip, we are staying in Melbourne and Adelaide. Each year, we have contacted Joanne at Goway to arrange our trip. She has booked all our flights and accommodations. She has been a wonderful source of travel locations within Australia and New Zealand. Joanne has always been very helpful. She checks on the best flights, give us ideas on airplane seat selection and locates great places to stay. She also provides ideas about what we might want to see or do at each location. Every time we contact her she is willing to provide information and answers any questions we may have. She listens to our requests, explains reasons for her suggestions, and answers any concerns we have with patience and understanding. We are so fortunate to have such a helpful, friendly individual as our travel advisor!Bob and Sue

Paul at GoWay made this first GoWay trip a breeze from start to finish! He was very quick to respond and created an incredible itinerary that my clients absolutely loved. From the incredible hotel location to the private tours led by knowledgeable tour guides who show that they love their jobs, it couldn't have gone better. Can't wait to Yesenia Rodriguez

Once again, Goway Travel has provided us with an amazing travel experience, and the customized itinerary prepared by Joanne Palanuik was second to none. She was the main reason that Australia is a "trip of a lifetime" for us. Her attention to detail and recognizing what would make this a special trip for us is noteworthy and much appreciated.Wally

I would recommend GoWay for travel anytime. I had a private tour of India built for me, after I was invited to my friend's wedding. I travelled around northern India with my driver for 10 days. I had a new guide most every day, for the trip, as we went from location to location. Absolutely everything was amazing!! I honestly can't say there was a negative moment in any of it. I felt 100% safe travelling alone with GoWay's experts. My lodgings were excellent and someone was always available for support, if need be. This was one of the best experiences of my life!!! Thank you so much GoWay!!Trudy Buelow
