나이 많으신 어른과 함께해서 불안했는데
상냥하신 기사님 덕분에 너무 좋은 추억이 되었습니다. 멋진 비에이 풍경과 많은 배려 덕분에 힐머니께서도 너무 좋은 기억을가지고 한국으로 갈 수 있었습니다. 기사님 너무 감사했습니다!:)
We had a great winter experience trekking with snowshoes to see the drift ice at Abashiri Hokkaido. Our guide Kaneko -san was excellent...spoke English and very professional in guiding us through the route where we saw deers, fox, birds and bear foot prints on the snow. We were rewarded with a beautiful sight of the drift ice off the sea shores (we can actually touch the drift ice) and Kaneko -san prepared for us hot chocolate drinks and biscuits. Had time for a small picnic and we took numerous photos of the drift ice and the nearby water fall. When you are at Abashiri, this is a must do activity... especially for us who come from a tropical country like Malaysia.
1.Always book with a reputable company for safety reasons.
2.Pick up services provided at hotels .
Guide came to pick us right on time. We had four in our party. We throughly enjoyed all the places of interest on the schedule especially the drift ice cruise which was the highlight since guide said that the day before some cruises were canceled due to no drift ice. Great deal for the bucks on this tour. Definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to see lots in a day without planning your transportation to all the places especially in this wintery weather
Book early
Guide and driver was well informed and knew best places & times for viewing the cranes. He had all the necessary viewing equipment. Great to have telescope available. Guide was also very friendly and was happy to take photos for us. Vehicle was very comfortable and clean. Overall, quite an enjoyable tour!! Well done, Veltra!!
Book early. Take a good camera with good lens but still portable. Take warm clothes.

We had great time on this private tour. Our guide was Shu-San who came with his car to pick us from our hotel and drove us to three different observation points. He was well equipped with a monocular and binoculars. His polite attitude and enthusiasm about Tanchos made our trip a memorable experience.
Not much walking but have good snow boots to keep your feet warm.
Maintaining and very well organised. The tour guide was friendly and ensuring that all the members are well taken care of.
I went for the crane watching tour with Mr. Shuta. It was a wonderful experience. He was well prepared and provided telescope and binoculars. He was experienced in pointing out various wildlife along the route and finding good spots to view cranes at the right timing. Thank you.
We went with Uelis-San and he is very kind and gracious. While we didn’t have to use his services as a guide he was proactive and helpful !
It helped us so much because we had our aged parents with us and they could not walk much!
Four of us visited Hokkaido for the first time in April 2024. After spending a few days exploring the vibrant city of Sapporo, we ventured out to Abashiri—a more remote, rural part of the region. Wanting to make the most of our time and truly experience the natural beauty of the area, we booked a day-long tour through Veltra.
From start to finish, the experience far exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Taki, was exceptional—knowledgeable, organized, and incredibly attentive to both safety and enjoyment. The day was filled with unforgettable moments, from snowshoeing through serene landscapes to spotting local wildlife. Taki's passion for the area and his thoughtful guidance truly made the tour special.
We cannot recommend this tour—and especially Taki—highly enough. If you're visiting Abashiri and want a meaningful, well-curated adventure, this is absolutely the way to go.
