This is a vacation package for those people who enjoy nature and want to do something completely different. These thrilling activities are very popular among tourists who visit Hokkaido. Ice Breaking Cruises are available from late January to March. Please make sure to make a reservation before you go.
Hokkaido is a popular destination for travelers in winter. In addition to snow and ice festivals held all over Hokkaido, "ryuhyo" (drift ice) in the Sea of Okhotsk attracts many travelers. The Okhotsk Sea in Hokkaido freezes by the cold wind from Siberia from late January through to early April. Winds break and move the layers of ice, and the ice layers get thicker.
Take an Ice Breaking Cruise through the drift ice from the port of Abashiri. Here resting on the floating bergs of pack ice in the Sea of Okhotsk, drifting down from the Arctic, you could see Northern Fur Seals and eagles on the lookout for a feed.
For any of our warm climate friends, this is a perfect opportunity for some great photos that nobody else back home will have.
