Exploring the Cultural Richness

Stepping into Sri Lanka feels like stepping into a storybook. Begin your journey in the historic city of Kandy, home to the Temple of the Tooth Relic. This sacred Buddhist site houses a relic believed to be the tooth of Buddha himself. As you listen to the rhythmic chants of the monks, you'll be enveloped in serenity, an experience deeply rooted in Sri Lanka's spiritual fabric.

Don't miss the chance to wander through the ancient ruins of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. These cities are replete with stupas, sculptures, and carvings that narrate tales of a bygone era. Opting for custom vacation packages to Sri Lanka allows you to explore these sites at your own pace, guided by insights into their historical significance.

The Call of the Wild

Lovers of the natural world will find their haven in Sri Lanka's national parks. Yala National Park promises exhilarating encounters with the island's diverse wildlife. Here, elephants roam freely, leopards stealthily tread through the underbrush, and the birdlife offers a symphony of colours and sounds.

For a more serene experience, head to the Minneriya National Park during the dry season. Witness the majestic gathering of Asian elephants near the Minneriya Tank, a sight that resonates deeply with the essence of Sri Lanka vacations that are unmarred by the bustling crowds.

Beaches that Breathe Tranquillity

When it's time to unwind, the coastal gems of Sri Lanka will not disappoint. Galle, with its UNESCO World Heritage-listed fort, offers a romantic blend of Dutch colonial architecture, quaint cafes, and azure waters. The coastal town of Mirissa is a dream spot for rejuvenation, whether lounging by palm-fringed beaches or embarking on whale-watching expeditions.

For those with a penchant for surfing, Arugam Bay awaits with its challenging waves and a vibrant beach culture. Each beach tells a different story, and custom travel packages can cater to both the thrill-seeker and the peace-loving traveler.

A Gastronomic Journey

No journey is complete without indulging in a country’s culinary delights, and Sri Lanka is no exception. Relish the explosion of flavours in a traditional rice and curry meal, where spices blend in a dance of taste and aroma. Find solace in a steaming cup of Ceylon tea at a hillside plantation in Nuwara Eliya, fondly known as "Little England" for its cool climate and verdant landscapes.

From street food to gourmet dining, the island's cuisine promises to be a feast for the senses, making it a must-feature in Sri Lanka vacations that seek to satisfy the palate alongside the soul.

Crafting Your Ideal Escape

Whether you’re drawn to the island's ancient history, its lush sanctuaries, or its sun-kissed coasts, the allure of custom vacation packages to Sri Lanka is the freedom they afford. Tailor your journey to reflect your unique interests, ensuring that your experiences resonate personally and deeply.

Unlock the treasures of Sri Lanka at your own pace, and let this island paradise captivate your heart and spirit. From intimate cultural encounters to grand natural spectacles, your Sri Lankan sojourn awaits to inspire exploration and enrich the narrative of your travels.

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.

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
