Despite its ancient lands, Papua New Guinea is a canvas of vibrant life, where the ancient and the modern converge in an extraordinary travel experience.

A Tapestry of Cultures

Papua New Guinea is celebrated for its rich tapestry of over 800 languages and diverse cultures. As you explore the highlands and coastal regions on group tours to Papua New Guinea, you’ll be welcomed by dances, songs, and traditional ceremonies that have transcended time. The Goroka Show, held annually, is a mesmerising display of this cultural diversity. Tribal groups from all over the country gather, adorned in splendid costumes and provoke a colourful spectacle that rivals any major cultural event worldwide.

Pristine Natural Landscapes

The natural splendour of Papua New Guinea is unparalleled. From the rugged peaks of the Owen Stanley Range to the dense rainforests of Madang, the country promises endless exploration through its escorted tours. Trekking the Kokoda Trail is a profound experience, as this historical path unveils not just a stunning landscape but a poignant link to the region's wartime past. For more leisurely explorers, the tropical paradise of Milne Bay, with its crystal-clear waters and untouched coral reefs, provides perfect scuba diving opportunities.

A Haven for Adventure Enthusiasts

Adventure awaits at every corner. The Sepik River, often referred to as the Amazon of Papua New Guinea, meanders through remote villages, providing a unique look into riverine life. These group tours bring you close to traditional woodworking and canoe crafting that feels blessedly untouched by modernity. For a more adrenaline-filled experience, the mountainous regions offer excellent opportunities for rock climbing and paragliding, underlining Papua New Guinea as an adventure enthusiast’s paradise.

Culinary Delights Worth Savouring

No journey is complete without experiencing the local flavours. Papua New Guinea’s cuisine, much like its culture, is diverse and richly layered. Travel packages often include stops at local markets where you can feast on mumu, a traditional dish of pork, sweet potatoes, and vegetables wrapped in banana leaves and cooked in an underground oven. The freshness of tropical fruits such as pawpaw, pineapple, and mangoes, paired with coconut-laced seafood dishes, offers an exotic culinary spectrum sure to tantalize your taste buds.

Essentials for the Discerning Traveller

Traveling to Papua New Guinea is as much about preparation as it is about discovery. It’s essential to respect the cultural norms and traditions that form the heart of Papuan societies. Secure your travels through Papua New Guinea travel packages that boast reliable guides who understand the local customs and ensure a respectful interaction with the indigenous communities. Vaccinations, travel insurance, and a respectful wardrobe go a long way in ensuring a worry-free adventure.

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.

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
