Discover the Iconic Great Barrier Reef

No journey to the Land Down Under is complete without a visit to the Great Barrier Reef. As one of the world’s premier natural wonders, the Reef boasts a breathtaking array of marine life set against a backdrop of vibrant corals. Dive or snorkel into this underwater paradise, where colourful fish, majestic turtles and elusive rays glide effortlessly through the clear blue depths. Private experiences in Australia, particularly here, offer bespoke diving tours perfect for both beginners and seasoned divers, ensuring a truly unforgettable adventure.

Revel in the Cultural Richness of Sydney

Sydney, with its iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge, is a bustling metropolis that seamlessly blends urban cool with natural beauty. Explore the historic Rocks district with its cobblestoned streets and eclectic markets. Attend a private backstage tour at the Opera House or enjoy a gourmet dining experience in Darling Harbour. For those seeking more intimate experiences, private trips to Australia can be tailored to include art tours, culinary explorations or simply enjoying a serene walk in the Royal Botanic Garden.

Venture into the Heart of the Outback

The Australian Outback, a stark but stunning expanse of red earth and endless skies, is where the true spirit of Australia can be felt. Private tours here might include a visit to Uluru (Ayers Rock), where you’ll witness its changing hues at sunrise or sunset. Engage with the indigenous cultures of this ancient land, learning about the Dreamtime stories that imbue the landscape with deep cultural significance. Personal guides enrich these experiences, offering insights that transform your trip to Australia from a holiday into a profound exploration of heritage and history.

Savour Tasmania’s Gourmet Delights

Often overlooked by first-time travelers, Tasmania is a hidden gem brimming with exquisite culinary experiences and pristine nature. Wander through its renowned vineyards and orchards, tasting wines and ciders that capture the island's unique terroir. Engage in private cooking classes where local chefs teach you to prepare dishes using the freshest Tasmanian produce. Besides its gourmet lure, Tasmania also offers breathtaking hikes in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park, making it an ideal destination for foodies and nature enthusiasts alike.

Experience the Coastal Charms of the Great Ocean Road

Driving along the Great Ocean Road is perhaps one of the most scenic journeys you can undertake. This winding route takes you past dramatic cliffs, dense rainforests and the awe-inspiring Twelve Apostles limestone stacks. To truly appreciate its beauty, consider a private tour that allows stops in charming seaside towns and secluded beaches—perfect for escaping the usual tourist frenzy. Whether viewing the rugged coastline from a helicopter or simply enjoying a leisurely pace of travel, this is one of the top private experiences in Australia.

Relish a Day in the Vineyards of the Barossa Valley

Known for its world-class wines, the Barossa Valley invites you for a day of wine tasting and gourmet dining amid its sun-drenched vineyards. Private Australia trips can include exclusive tours of family-operated wineries, offering an inside look into wine production and the opportunity to taste some of Australia’s best vintages straight from the barrel. Coupled with a leisurely lunch curated from local produce, this is a sensory delight that captures the essence of Australian hospitality.

Whether it’s the allure of the Great Barrier Reef, the cultural pulse of Sydney or the serene beauty of Tasmania, private trips to Australia offer a unique way to discover this vast continent on your own terms, allowing you to delve deeper into the country’s diverse landscapes, rich cultures and extraordinary experiences. Consider tailoring your next adventure for an unforgettable vacation, and let the wonders of Australia leave an indelible mark on your journey.

Sydney and Melbourne are a great combination for first-time visitors to Australia, with Brisbane, Adelaide and/or the Outback added in, depending on how much time you have. Returnees should take in Perth, Darwin and the Kakadu National Park area and/or Tasmania if they can, plus spend some time in the cities they loved the first time around

As a travel agent, this is not the first time I’ve chosen to work with Goway for organizing my clients’ trip, this time to Chile, and once again, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, I could count on truly professional service from Susanna. My clients are very experienced travelers and requested a highly customized itinerary, including many unique experiences that are not typically included in standard tour programs. There were also several occasions when, on behalf of my clients, I requested changes to an already prepared itinerary. Susanna was consistently helpful, patient, understanding, and — just as importantly — incredibly kind and pleasant to work with. It was clear that she genuinely cared about creating the best possible experience for my clients. I’m also certain that much of the work she put in went well beyond standard hours and expectations. My clients returned absolutely delighted with their vacation, which is always the greatest confirmation of a job well done. Thank you, Susanna, for your dedication and exceptional support. And thank you, Goway, for another wonderful experience!Beata

We booked our 3,week tour of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and overall it was an excellent experience. I typically book my own travel, but travelling with a group and wanting tours in each destination made GoWay a great choice. We had great hotels and good guides in each city. I will say that our standout guide was Romeo Tran in Ho Chi Minh City. We spent a few days in the city, as well as an over night boat ride on the delta, and he was fantastic. We had alot of fun with him, and would highly recommend him in particular. Neil Braun

We booked a Viking cruise (Venice to Athens) through Goway Travel and it was fantastic! Our agent Kimberly was extremely helpful with air travel options, choosing excursions, and suggestions for pre and post cruise activities. Great communications and a really enjoyable experience.Stanley

We booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8. If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak

Our first trip with Goway was a total joy. Shalini worked with me to plan a trip for 5 adults to Portugal. She is a gem! Always responded quickly and offered great suggestions for activities, worked with our preferences and created an ideal itinerary for a week in Porto and Lisbon. The tours were excellent with engaging local guides. The food tour in Lisbon was a highlight. Everything was top notch - flight schedule, hotels, activities, even the weather! Patricia

It is with the utmost pleasure and heartfelt appreciation that I share my exceptional experience working with Taha Colombowala, Goway's distinguished Groups Specialist. Our journey together began in October 2023, when Taha took the helm in orchestrating what was to be a remarkable group trip to Ghana. When unforeseen circumstances necessitated a change in plans, Taha demonstrated his extraordinary expertise by recommending Morocco as an alternative destination — a suggestion that proved to be nothing short of absolutely brilliant! From the very first interaction to the final farewell, Taha has been a consummate professional in every sense of the word. His lightning-fast response times, encyclopedic knowledge of destinations, and remarkable ability to pivot seamlessly under pressure are truly second to none. What sets Taha apart, however, is not only his professional acumen but also his warm, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic attitude toward accommodating the unique needs and personalities of every member of our group. Taha Colombowala is, without question, a shining star within the Goway family, and an extraordinary ambassador for everything the brand represents. I cannot recommend him highly enough — he has exceeded every expectation and then some. Working with Taha has been an absolute privilege, and I look forward to many more incredible adventures ahead!DESIREE DUCKETT

We recently completed a custom Vietnam tour organized by Goway, and it was everything we asked for and more. We would definitely choose Goway again. The true highlights of our trip, however, were our two guides: Vu Dang and Thien. They truly made our experience unforgettable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. Their pride in their Vietnamese heritage shone through in every conversation, making our learning experience both deep and engaging. We learned so much in such a short time, and it was always fascinating. I would highly recommend these two guides to anyone visiting Vietnam!Laura Derbyshire
