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.

This was my second time working with Taha Colombowala, Group Specialist. Our journey to Ghana was top notch! 🇬🇭 The accommodations, curated tours, and coordination with the team on the ground made the this trip quite amazing. Taha was very supportive throughout the entire process. Goway makes me look like a superstar with my clients!! I am already planning new itineraries. Denise Watkins

I booked this trip to Adelaide with Goway, after using them before when we explored the 'big' sites of Australia. This time, we went to Adelaide to go to three of the top wine growing areas for wine tastings. We were a small group of 4 people. It was made better as the vendor used Small Batch Wine Tours for all of our excursions. They were fantastic making us the only travelers on these tours. Matthew, the owner, even adjusted our wineries on the last day to go to different place. This place totally marked off everything we were looking for in wine. Ended up buying a couple of bottles. Between Goway setting it up and Small Batch Wine Tours running the actual tours we had a beautiful and seamless trip. not applicable

Land Package booked was for Bora Bora. The Goway Agent priced out 3 different resorts in the same area. Before making a final decision, she even obtained the menus at the Resort so the clients could decide if they wanted to purchase the 1/2 board meal package. With extreme patience, the agent obtained answers to all of our questions. It was so nice to have this package inclusive of all taxes and resort fees and to have a local agent meet the clients upon their arrival in PPT. EMD

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Shalini. From the very first conversation, she was warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in helping me plan the perfect trip. she took the time to understand what I was looking for, offered thoughtful suggestions, and shared incredibly helpful insights that only someone with deep knowledge and passion for travel could provide. What really stood out was how easy she made everything feel. Every question I had—big or small—was answered with patience and clarity. her recommendations were spot‑on, and I never felt rushed or pressured. Instead, I felt supported, informed, and excited about my plans. If you’re looking for someone who is friendly, attentive, and truly committed to creating a great travel experience, I can’t recommend Shalini highly enough. She turned what could have been a stressful process into something enjoyable and inspiring.enzo r reda

I would like to recognize the outstanding support provided by the Goway Travel team, and especially Yael, during a very challenging situation involving my customers who were stranded in Dubai. From the moment the issue arose, Yael and the team were incredibly supportive, working through multiple options to secure flights and ensure my customers could return home safely. Their persistence, professionalism, and willingness to explore every possible solution made a stressful situation much easier to manage. Throughout the process, communication was clear, timely, and reassuring. It was evident that the team was fully committed to the well-being of the traveler and to resolving the situation as quickly as possible. I truly appreciate the dedication shown by Yael and the Goway Travel team. Their actions reflect a strong commitment to customer care and partnership, and I’m very grateful for the support they provided in getting my customer home safely. Thank you Goway.

Our trip to Asia was fantastic! From the beginning of registration, working with Ameet Duggal, to the actual trip, the service Goway provided was outstanding! Ameet was great to work with. He was kind, professional and answered all my questions whenever they arose. Our guides in all four locations (Hong Kong, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Siem Reap) were all exceptional. All were very well informed, spoke English very well, had a great sense of humor, were always on time, and paid attention to all the details so as to make our trip absolutely problem free and enjoyable. We were picked up at all locations at the airport, and returned there, in a punctual manner. The drivers were great, especially Bros in Siem Reap. All had lots of water for us because is was pretty hot everywhere we went. Food was wonderful and all the sites we visited were interesting and beautiful. I was especially impressed with how our guides knew how and when to navigate certain sites to avoid large crowds. They situated our visits so we would avoid the intense heat. All in all, I would definitely consider doing another independent tour with Goway. I would also recommend your services to anyone who wished to travel abroad, especially to Asia! Jamie Ferbezar

I had the pleasure of working with Erin. It was my first time booking something in Europe and let me tell you Erin made everything easy and very simple for us to follow. She booked everything for us from our plane tickets private transfers and all of our tours that we did in Ireland. She nailed it. I would definitely recommend booking with GoAway travel and if you have Erin as your travel agent she make sure everything is covered. 10 out of 10. Ness Hedge

The organization for this trip was outstanding, everything went really smoothly. Really nice hotels and great tours and guides. GoWay chose beautiful places for me to see and things to do, jet boat rides, a cruise on Milford Sound, numerous beautiful hikes. I don't think I could have planned all this alone. Great job!
