Welcome to New Zealand, a destination boasting an abundance of natural beauty and unique experiences. Whether you’re setting off on New Zealand vacation packages with air or exploring the countryside through tours of New Zealand, this paradise offers something for every traveller.

The Allure of Stunning Landscapes

From the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps to the rolling vineyards of Marlborough, New Zealand’s landscapes are iconic. Travel the length of both the North and South Islands to witness stunning vistas ranging from lush rainforests to serene beaches. Consider exploring the Fiordland National Park for a glimpse of crashing waterfalls amidst towering cliffs. In contrast, the geothermal wonders of Rotorua offer a sensory experience with its enchanting hot springs and steaming geysers.

Cultural Riches and Traditions

Delve into the rich tapestry of Maori culture that enriches the nation’s heritage. Participate in a traditional hangi feast or witness the powerful haka, a ceremonial dance that captures the spirit of Maori identity. In Rotorua, cultural villages provide insight into centuries-old customs and crafts. Meanwhile, the urban landscapes of Auckland and Wellington blend contemporary art and music, reflecting New Zealand’s dynamic cultural scene. A journey through these cities is incomplete without a visit to their bustling markets, where Maori artisans showcase their intricate carvings and weaving.

Outdoor Adventures at Your Fingertips

New Zealand is an adventurer’s dream. Whether you’re embarking on a leisurely hike on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing or seeking the thrill of bungy jumping in Queenstown, adrenaline-filled experiences are plentiful in this breathtaking country. Opt for a guided excursion through Abel Tasman National Park, where kayaking amidst secluded bays offers a tranquil immersion into nature’s splendor. For the ultimate rush, take a scenic flight over the magnificent Milford Sound for an aerial view of the country's natural wonders.

Explore Culinary Delights

A journey to New Zealand is incomplete without indulging in its culinary delights. Savour the taste of mouthwatering lamb dishes or fresh seafood, such as green-lipped mussels and crayfish. Vineyards across the North Island offer the perfect opportunity to sample world-renowned wines, including the distinctive Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. You’ll find that the dining experiences in New Zealand are as diverse and vibrant as its landscapes.

The food in New Zealand is incredible, and New Zealanders are rightly proud of their paddock to plate cuisine. Almost everything is sustainably grown and processed, from lamb and seafood to vegetables and fruit.

Thank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYD

This was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce Robinson

We decided to go to France for 3 weeks in September and knew we needed help planning the trip (we made this decision in August so a very short time frame. We had traveled with Goway a few years ago and were hoping they could help. Our specialist, Farnaz Bagheri, was fantastic, she listened to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She literally arranged everything with her French partners. The guides and drivers were wonderful the accommodations were excellent. Communication was easy from the first discussion to the time we got home. Farnaz planned for us an exceptional trip in a very short time frame. Promise next trip we will contact Goway much earlier. Thanks againSue Blake

As a travel advisor, I recently booked a group of clients on a Goway tour in China following their paddleboat competition, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Christine and Tanya in the groups department were incredibly helpful and made the entire process seamless. Their support was greatly appreciated! The feedback from my clients was overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the local tour guides, who helped make the trip so memorable. Everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you, Christine, Tanya, and the Goway team, for taking such great care of my clients. I would happily recommend Goway and look forward to working with them again!customer

I wanna start off by saying that Farnaz our agent was excellent!!! she planned the whole experience from start to finish. We did not have to worry about one thing the entire trip. All the hotels were great. Our transfers from hotels to fairies to airports were all available and always on time. The excursions she planned for us were all top-notch. I was a little skeptical, but just finding GOWAY online stumbling across it. But I’m so glad I made the choice to use them. I hope they definitely using the company again and especially our agent Farnaz!!! Thank you do mych for a wonderful experience! Catherine

Our goal for this trip was a stress free honeymoon where we did not have to think about anything! Goway made that successful. Everything was planned and ready for us. We just had to show up. Brooke recommended fantastic accommodations that were in great locations, clean and comfortable. The tours were took with Thompson's Africa were incredible as well. Brooke was helpful throughout the entire booking process & we wouldn't have had such an incredible experience without her. We really loved our South African holiday and hope to travel there or other locations again with Goway.Taylor
