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.

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
