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.

Practical Travel Tips for the Savvy Explorer

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.

While researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla B

The most amazing experience with Goway!! Phoebe did an amazing job planing the best trip to Paris, Florence and Venice with a great mix of relaxing and adventure days. Will be recommending to other travellers. Always someone available which is great when you are travelling in different time zones.

Our rep at GoWay, Kimberly, was fantastic from start to finish. She came up with the exact itinerary we wanted for Melbourne, Uluru, Cairns and Sydney, and assisted us with both international and domestic flights to help us get the best rates. Once we were on the trip, everything flowed seamlessly and every tour and transport was on time.Lisa Wildes

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

Our family trip to Machu Picchu was absolutely incredible, thanks to RuthAnne Leonty. Every tour was thoughtfully organized and the guides were top-notch. The private transportation and transfers were flawless, making everything run smoothly with zero stress from start to finish. Not a single hiccup...just an amazing experience!Barb

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
