The Allure of the Land Down Under

Australia’s appeal lies in its sheer diversity. From the sun-soaked beaches of the Gold Coast to the rugged Outback’s infinite horizons, each region is distinct and promises unique adventures. Australia tours with air provide a convenient and comprehensive way to explore this magnificent continent, offering hassle-free travel solutions that allow more time to savor extraordinary sights.

Unveiling Urban Wonders

  • Sydney: No visit to Australia is complete without a stop in Sydney. The iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge stand as proud monuments overlooking the bustling harbour. Meander through the historic precincts of The Rocks, or enjoy a leisurely afternoon at Bondi Beach.
  • Melbourne: Known for its eclectic arts scene and sophisticated café culture, Melbourne is a haven for creative souls. Visit the National Gallery of Victoria for a dose of culture, or take a stroll down its hidden laneways filled with vibrant street art.

Delight in Nature’s Masterpieces

  • The Great Barrier Reef: One of the world's natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef offers a kaleidoscope of marine life beneath its azure waters. Whether scuba diving or snorkelling, visitors are invited to witness this living masterpiece up close.
  • Uluru: Rising majestically from the heart of the Red Centre, Uluru holds deep spiritual significance. As the sun rises or sets, watch as the rock's colours transform, an awe-inspiring sight that connects visitors to the land's ancient spirit.

Immersive Cultural Experiences

Australia is not just about landscapes; its cultural tapestry is equally compelling. Nations partake in tours of Australia to delve deeper into its history and customs. Whether attending the spectacular Vivid Sydney festival or learning about the Dreamtime stories of the Indigenous population, visitors find themselves enriched by these profound cultural narratives.

A Culinary Journey

Australian cuisine is a delightful concoction of global influences and local ingredients. From barramundi to bush tucker, gourmets can indulge in a variety of flavours. And let's not forget the celebrated Aussie barbeque—a must-experience feast that brings locals and visitors together in joyful communion.

Practical Travel Tips

  • Opt for escorted tours for a structured yet flexible travel experience.
  • Remember to pack for varying climates, from tropical north regions to the temperate south.

The Call of the Open Road

Australia’s scenic drives and road trips promise discovery at every turn. The Great Ocean Road, with its dramatic coastal vistas, is perfect for those seeking adventure with a backdrop of natural beauty. Alternatively, delve into the mystical Outback or explore the lush rainforests of Queensland for a tranquil escape.

Whether you’re drawn to the vibrant cities or the serene natural wonders, Australia presents a canvas of varied adventures. So, ready your wanderlust and set out on an unforgettable journey to the Land Down Under. Australia's incredible allure awaits those daring enough to venture beyond the familiar and into the extraordinary.

Tasmania is under the radar for many travelers, but it’s great for hikes, natural landscapes and now modern art!

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

We were just back from an ambitious 42-day grand circle through seven of the ASEAN countries! An itinerary gestating over a period of time, carefully planned and pore over intently all the way through proved satisfying as expected, but the amazing "embarras de richesse" in six weeks such as we've never experienced before truly went beyond our imagination, both in terms of scenery and culture! Here we owe our destination specialist Taryn a profound gratitude for her insight and for her coordination efforts. When our debit card was not retrievable in an airport ATM Taryn again went out of her way to approve a small loan through transfer to our local guide's bank account, who then withdrew cash from an ATM while we simply paid Goway Travel by credit card through an online payment link. This helped us tremendously through that difficult moment. We will always treasure this kindness on her part.Yuan Lin

Alice was most helpful - full of insider suggestions. She was a good listener and able to provide tours, routes and guides tailored to our interests. She made our February trip to New Zealand entirely wonderful. Marlene

We did a 19 day NZ Rail and Cruise Discovery Tour and then a 12 day Australian tour put together by out specialized travel operator Joanne Palanuik. New Zealand- ABT Tours ran the actual tour and did a fabulous job. The Guide Sharon was great and worked very hard coordinating 32 people. Mostly all Australians and we has so much fun with them! Our driver Chris (a retired policeman) was especially great- he knew so many interesting things about NZ and shared them while driving throughout the trip. We loved him! So many highlights...overnight on a ship in the Milford Sound...cable car to a nature reserve then a Gold Class train ride back...Queenstown adventures..excellent meals along the way...all drivers and transfers were excellent too. Oceana Tours in Melbourne were great as well. A morning city tour and afternoon tour were wonderful. Then the next day to Philips Island for the Penguin moonlit march was sooo special. And the Ocean road cruise too!! Sydney was gorgeous...Bondi Beach...Barrier Reef...Ayers Rock (Uluru) Both Australians and New Zealanders were so helpful and friendly... In short I wish I could do it all over again..highly recommend. Every day was a new adventure :) Kathleen Reardon customer

Katie was a dream to work with. We made many changes to the standard itinerary to customize our trip and she never missed a beat. Her responsiveness and humor made working together a joy and her most common response to our very packed activities was, “can I help with that?” Hotels, car rental all went smoothly and were very much to our liking. The super long flights were laid out to minimize travel time and maximize comfort. Katie and GoWay made this dream trip happen. Faye

Its all about the journey, isn't it? And our journey through Kenya, Africa was amazing and we have Bijal Kana of Goway Travel to thank for it. From the start when we first discussed a true Safari adventure, Bijal was being helpful. Her suggestions were helpful in where to go and how we could save a few dollars when possible. Never trying to be cheap but simply, cost conscious. This was the beginning of what will continue as a forever working relationship in travel. Bijal gained our confidence and trust. And that is a rare commodity these days. Then too there was the staff from Goway and Sense of Africa like Ruth, Wilson and Francis who allowed us to see the non tourist side of Nairobi and became fast friends. The wonderful selections made by Bijal as to where we would stay and all the Serena locations were marvelous. And at the last minute, when a bridge got washed out and we could not get to the last lodge camp, Bijal responded to our whatsapp call immediately and we were placed in the Sorova lodge. True not the same, but in the middle of a game area, who complains? It was great and we had so much fun. The tour selection took us through parks, reserves and conservancy locales. We saw the big 5 and much more. Lions fighting, Hyenas making a chase and ultimate dinner selection, A leopard resting on tree branches, A cheetah stalking and then at rest. Hyena pups and Honbeast babes being birthed. Hippopotamus in the water, Zebra grazing, Elephants crossing rivers en mass. You'd think we hit the National Geographic channel. Great job Bijal. Good deal Goway.customerBram L. Bottfeld

Goway Travel helped us set up a Venice to Athens cruise on Viking and it was fantastic! Our agent (Kimberly) was responsive to all our questions and helpful navigating all the options for excursions, etc. She also gave us a cruise credit we could use while on the ship to help pay for extras. Overall great experience would use Goway again.Stanley

For the past four years, we have travelled to Perth, Australia to visit family. As part of our travels to Perth, we have had stays in Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. This year, as part of our trip, we are staying in Melbourne and Adelaide. Each year, we have contacted Joanne at Goway to arrange our trip. She has booked all our flights and accommodations. She has been a wonderful source of travel locations within Australia and New Zealand. Joanne has always been very helpful. She checks on the best flights, give us ideas on airplane seat selection and locates great places to stay. She also provides ideas about what we might want to see or do at each location. Every time we contact her she is willing to provide information and answers any questions we may have. She listens to our requests, explains reasons for her suggestions, and answers any concerns we have with patience and understanding. We are so fortunate to have such a helpful, friendly individual as our travel advisor!Bob and Sue

Paul at GoWay made this first GoWay trip a breeze from start to finish! He was very quick to respond and created an incredible itinerary that my clients absolutely loved. From the incredible hotel location to the private tours led by knowledgeable tour guides who show that they love their jobs, it couldn't have gone better. Can't wait to Yesenia Rodriguez

Once again, Goway Travel has provided us with an amazing travel experience, and the customized itinerary prepared by Joanne Palanuik was second to none. She was the main reason that Australia is a "trip of a lifetime" for us. Her attention to detail and recognizing what would make this a special trip for us is noteworthy and much appreciated.Wally

I would recommend GoWay for travel anytime. I had a private tour of India built for me, after I was invited to my friend's wedding. I travelled around northern India with my driver for 10 days. I had a new guide most every day, for the trip, as we went from location to location. Absolutely everything was amazing!! I honestly can't say there was a negative moment in any of it. I felt 100% safe travelling alone with GoWay's experts. My lodgings were excellent and someone was always available for support, if need be. This was one of the best experiences of my life!!! Thank you so much GoWay!!Trudy Buelow
