The Philippines, an archipelago of over 7,000 islands, beckons travellers with its incredible natural beauty, vibrant cultural tapestry, and welcoming spirit. Perfect for crafting custom holiday trips to the Philippines, this destination offers an unparalleled array of experiences, from sunlit beaches to bustling cityscapes.

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. These festivals offer travellers an authentic glimpse into the nation’s spirited culture.

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
