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

I was looking at a month holiday in New Zealand and Australia and Natasa Jaric who is located in the Toronto area helped to make it happened by combining 2 already designed holidays in Oceania. From the beginning to the end, Natasa was "hands on" by explaining and providing everything I needed for our trip. During our trip, there were few bumps on the road that had nothing to do with Goway Travel as it was the airline company that cancelled our scheduled flight and created chaos. And the other problems (they were light) was because of the way hotels described their rooms. It should definitely be better worded! Db to me means double bed ... what does it mean to you? ;-) Anyhow, we ended up having two beds but with some arguments at one hotel only. The others accommodated us at no extra cost. I should also add that NZ and Aus. know how to treat tourists. I was particularly impressed with the transfers services offered by different companies both in NZ and Aus. Wow! No waiting at the airports, hotels or terminals. They were there ready to pick us up and drive us where ever we needed to be! Well done!!! It's the kind of service that I will have a hard time not to use again as it comes with a $ sign but definitely worth spending it! :-). I received a very good response from the "Help office" when the flight was cancelled and other inquiries I had made. Very good service once again. I live quite a few experiences during that month and all thanks need to go to Natasa and her team. So Natasa: Thank you very very much for a very well organized travel! Carole Ouellet

This was my first time planning a tour wth Goway Travel. I am truly delighted with the professionalism and personal relationship I had with the Goway Travel consultant Christine. She gave attention to every details I requested to curate my tour to Hong Kong and Bali. She addressed all my needs, answered thoroughly my questions and concerns. She is a touch of class in every respect. I will definitely recommend Goway Travel group. Excellent Hotels. Perfect guides in both countries. LE Asia Tour

Ingrid did a phenomenal job creating a 22 day trip beginning in with 3 days in Turkey, that included a Turkish Bath and a private tour of the mosques, we then took a 10 day cruise through the Mediterranean, Greece, Croatia, plus a couple of other stops. We got off the cruise in Ravenna Italy our transportation was spot on picking us up (I would have to stay all of our transportation was impressive, always there, on time, very helpful) we traveled from Ravenna to Venice where we stayed for two nights. Venice is the only place we had a hiccup, we weren't sure if someone was meeting us at our Hotel to take us to the water taxi to get to the train station, we figured it out, made the train and all was good. Traveled to Florence, had the best time there with one of our most favorite excusions, stayed in Florence for two nights and then completed our trip with three nights in Rome. Rome is BUSY, I was not prepared for that but should of expected it. This is our second big trip planning through Goway Travel, I can not recommend enough, they are so detailed and take care of everything you need and everything you didn't know you needed.

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
