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.

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

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne
