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.

Try to visit during the dry season from Nov to April. The weather is pleasant, with clear skies and minimal rainfall, great for travelling around by land and sea

I can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle Labarca

I had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie Williams

We were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormack

The destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years. If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek Travel

I just returned from escorting 34 people to China with four stops. We had hotels, local guides and extensive daily sightseeing. We had flights and we had high speed rail. There were numerous components that could have gone wrong but did not. I would like to highly recommend local guide Yoyo in Shanghai as well as Kevin in Xian. Two of the best guides I have ever had anywhere in the world. Suzette Castro and her team at the Goway Group Department did an excellent job helping me put this together. I was demanding, they were totally cooperative. It went well. I will be back. Amy Fink, CTC at Blue Ribbon Travel ArrangementsAmy in San Bruno, CA
