Discover Guatemala's Majestic Landscapes

Embark on adventure vacation packages to Guatemala and find yourself surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. From the towering volcanic peaks that dot the horizon to the serene waters of Lake Atitlán, nature enthusiasts will be spellbound. Hike active volcanoes like Pacaya, where the thrill of a gentle ascent rewards you with the stark beauty of molten lava flows beneath a tranquil sunrise.

Cultural Richness that Inspires

More than just its natural allure, Guatemala captivates with a tapestry of cultural wonders. Delve into history at the ancient Mayan city of Tikal, where towering ruins whisper tales of a civilization long past. Saunter through Antígua, a charming colonial city brimming with colourful markets and ornate churches. Here, cobblestone streets invite you to explore hidden courtyards and local artisan shops, offering an authentic taste of Guatemala vacations.

An Indigenous Experience

The soul of Guatemala thrives in its Indigenous roots. Markets burst with vibrancy as locals don traditional garments, their fabrics woven with historical significance. Attend a Mayan ceremony to gain insight into customs revered for centuries, or navigate the lively markets of Chichicastenango on a Thursday or Sunday to witness the layers of tradition that make this country a cultural treasure trove.

Gastronomic Adventures

For the epicurious, Guatemala offers culinary delights waiting to be savoured. Taste a freshly prepared Pepián, a comforting stew perfect for recounting your day's adventures. Dive into street food, where Tostadas surprise with their simplicity, and Tamales, enveloped in banana leaves, deliver a hearty treat. Each dish tells a story—one that connects you to the Guatemalan way of life.

Adventure Through Nature

Guatemala sets the stage for adrenaline-pumping escapades. Whether rafting through the rushing Cahabón River or embarking on a jungle trek through the Sierra de las Minas, adventure awaits at every turn. Zipline through verdant canopies, taking in breathtaking views or explore the mystical caves of Candelaria, where a subterranean world reveals itself to the daring.

Refreshing Retreats

Winding down in nature’s embrace is as simple as choosing a hike through Semuc Champey, a natural monument of limestone pools shimmering in shades of turquoise. Meanwhile, the echoing call of Howler Monkeys across the Petén rainforest promises an invigorating blend of excitement and tranquillity.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

We booked a Goway tour to Botswana and Zimbabwe and it was excellent.  We worked with Brooke, the Goway represntative, to set up the tour and she was an outstanding agent who answered any questions we had very quickly and completely. Her hotel recommendation for the additional night we stayed was pefect.   Goway hires a local tour group, Jenman Safaris, to lead the safari in the 2 countries. The tour itself was amazing...the lodges that we stayed at were very nice and the food was great (except for one lodge's food). The Goway itinerary was slightly different than the actual Jenman Safari itinerary but most of the sites that we went to were the same as listed on the Goway itinerary. I would use Goway again because their choice of a local tour group was very good...nice lodges/camps and good food and knowledgeable tour guides.Ma Fa

Matthew handled my honeymoon couple's very specific African itinerary like a pro! My clients went to four different travel agents who only wanted to send them on safaris. My clients had already done safaris and were specific on what they wanted to do and see. Matthew hit the nail on the head! Highly recommend!Amanda Schott

Our travel agent, Melissa Moses, created the perfect itinerary for our recent holiday to Portugal. Melissa had also planned our previous trip to England/Scotland. We have a great deal of confidence in her ability as she really listens to what we are looking for and she caters the plans according to our comfort levels and interests. customer

Jacqueline F. made our trip exceptional. Everything she planned or reserved worked out as it was supposed to. Croatia was amazing and I feel we were able to explore a lot of it because of Jacqueline.Allen

This was the first time we had utilized Goway. We wanted a custom itinerary for a 3 week Italy, Athens and Greek Island adventure. Edwina Brislane was receptive to our goals for the trip, had helpful suggestions and reacted well to our requested revisions. Lisa Dachuk helped "tie a ribbon" on the trip and ensured we had considered all aspects of the experience. Lisa dealt quickly with a couple of requests while on the trip and celebrated a successful trip with us. We enjoyed working with both Edwina and Lisa. Their knowledge and enthusiasm contributed to our very memorable trip.Dan & Gail

I recently traveled to Greece with friends, and our entire experience was exceptional thanks to the planning support we received from Avery at GoWay. Every part of our itinerary was organized with care, accuracy, and great attention to detail. Our accommodations — Hera Hotel Athens and Sofitel Athens Airport — were comfortable, well‑located, and exactly what we needed. All airfares from Calgary and the multiple transfers (airport to city centre, city centre to Piraeus Port, and back again) were perfectly coordinated and made the trip completely stress‑free. The 7‑night Idyllic Aegean Cruise was a major highlight. It was beautifully arranged and gave us an unforgettable way to explore the islands. Our excursions were equally impressive: Skip‑the‑Line Acropolis & Acropolis Museum timed entry, which made sightseeing smooth and efficient Classical Greece: Olympia, Delphi & Meteora, a breathtaking and well‑paced journey through some of Greece’s most iconic historical sites Avery was consistently responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout the planning process. Every confirmation, transfer, and timing detail was handled flawlessly, allowing us to simply enjoy the trip without worrying about logistics. I highly recommend GoWay Travel — and especially Avery — for anyone planning a trip to Greece. This was one of the best travel experiences I’ve had, thanks to their outstanding service and organization.Lorraine
