East Hokkaido 1-Day Customizable Private Tour with Outdoor Expert Guide

A Memorable Hokkaid Experience with Veltra and Taki

Reviewed by: Elo's Team

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.

知床流氷ウォーク　ドライスーツで流氷にドボン！世界遺産知床半島に冬限定で訪れる流氷の上を散策＜午前・夕方／2～3月／斜里町ウトロ地区送迎可＞by ピッキオ

Great memories! 良い思い出！

Reviewed by: ジュリアーノ

It was my first time doing the Shiretoko Drift Ice Walk. I was told that the weather and the condition of the drift ice on that day were perfect, so the timing was great. Walking on the ice and even immersing myself in the melting parts of the drift ice sea was an experience that I can't express in words. It created wonderful memories for me. I definitely want to participate in the Shiretoko Drift Ice Walk again!

初めての、知床流氷ウォークでした。
当日の天気、流氷の状態も最高の日だと言われたのでタイミングが良かったです☺️　氷の上を歩いたり、氷の溶けている
部分に体ごと流氷の海に入ったり
とても、言葉では表現ができないほどの
体験ができて、思い出作りに最高の思い出が出来ました😊
また、知床流氷ウォーク是非
参加したいです☺️

北見・女満別空港発バスツアー 網走流氷観光砕氷船おーろら＋流氷物語号乗車 網走監獄もしくはオホーツク流氷館を選べる観光プラン＜2月／北見市＞

There is a lot of wasted time in the bus schedule. バスの運行時間に無駄が多い。

Reviewed by: 旅行が命

The meeting point for the welcome was unhelpful, there was wasted time on the sightseeing bus, we were taken to a bad cafeteria at the pier for lunch, and the sightseeing locations required an additional fee. I will never use this service again.

出迎え集合場所が不親切、見学バス運行の無駄な時間、昼ご飯を不味い船乗り場の食堂に案内し、見学場所は別料金。もう二度と利用しません。

Please take measures to prevent recurrence. 再発防止をお願いします

Reviewed by: 慌てまくり

It was disappointing that the cruise ship was canceled due to high waves, especially since the drift ice had not arrived. However, I understand that it's a natural occurrence.

I booked this bus tour through Veltla, but it seems that the bus company was not informed that we would be boarding at Memanbetsu Airport. We were quite flustered, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused to the bus company and the other passengers. I'm not sure what caused this issue, but I hope measures will be taken to prevent it from happening again.

流氷が来ていない中、高波でクルーズ船が欠航になった事は、残念でしたが、自然の中の事ですので仕方ないと思っております。
このバスツアーをveltlaさん経由で依頼しましたが、女満別空港で私たちが乗車することがバス会社さんへ伝わっておらず、我々も慌てましたが、バス会社さん、同乗されているみなさんにご迷惑をお掛けしました。原因はよく分かりませんが、再発防止を是非お願いします。

Amazing Adventure

Reviewed by: Mohamed Alkowari

This tour will definitely be a core memory that will never be forgotten. Taki San speaks very good English and is well aware and informed of the history of the Eastern Hokkaido region aside from being super friendly and hospitable. He made sure that I enjoyed every second of it. I am happy that I wont be worried anymore if I ever come back to Eastern Hokkaido as Peacan Kikaku is the answer.

Really well done and I highly recommend this tour. Just keep a look out for Brown Bear Footprints 😉

Reviewed by: こっこ

Thank you very much for your help over the two days! This was my second time in Shiretoko, but last time the weather was bad, so I couldn't see Lake Mashu or go hiking in the Shiretoko Five Lakes. Thanks to you considering our requests and planning multiple times, we had a wonderful trip to Shiretoko. The guide maintained a comfortable distance, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Next time, I would like to go see the drift ice!

２日間、大変お世話になりました！
今回は2度目の知床でしたが、前回は天気が悪くて見られなかった摩周湖や知床五湖のハイキングなどに連れて行っていただきました。こちらの要望に答えるため、何度もプランを考えていただいたおかげで、大満喫の知床旅行となりました。
程よい距離感をたもってガイドをしてもらえたので、リラックスして楽しめました。
次回は流氷を見に行きたいと思います！

It was my first trip to Shiretoko, so I couldn't miss the ice floe walk. I had heard that the main season had passed, but I decided to go for it and signed up!

When I participated in the ice floe walk with Picchio, miraculously, the ice floes had returned, and I was able to enjoy it! Picchio was very thorough in not only guiding us through the activity but also teaching us about the nature of Shiretoko, which made for great memories!

Anyone can enjoy it! 誰でも楽しめます‼️

Reviewed by: オーシャン57

The pick-up, reception, valuables storage, pre-lecture, and support for putting on and taking off the dry suits were all very smooth. During the tour, a young female guide led the participants, taking various photos and providing lectures about the drifting ice on the ice, making the experience engaging. (Photos were shared online with a password that night.)

The participants included an older, slightly overweight pair of Chinese women (accompanied by a Japanese interpreter), a young couple, and four individuals (men and women in their 30s to 60s, including myself), and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

On the day (February 20), I planned to move to Abashiri and board the Aurora icebreaker, but since there was no drifting ice in Abashiri and the weather was bad, I did not board. (I also boarded the Aurora in early March the previous year, but there was no drifting ice then either, and it was a sightseeing cruise.) Utoro is recommended as it has a longer drifting ice season compared to Abashiri and Monbetsu.

送迎・受付・貴重品の預かり・事前レクチャー・ドライスーツの着脱サポートなどとてもスムーズでした。
ツアー中も若い女性ガイドさんが参加者をリードしてくれ、いろいろ写真を撮ったり、氷上で流氷に関するレクチャーがあったりと飽きない内容でした。(写真は当日夜にパスワード付きのネットで配信)

また、参加者も年配でちょっと太目の中国人女性ペア(日本人の通訳同行)、若いカップル、１人参加の男女4人(30代から60代の私まで)と様々でしたが、皆さん楽しんでいました。

当日(2/20)午後、網走に移動し砕氷船オーロラに乗るつもりでしたが、網走は流氷がなく悪天候の中の遊覧クルーズになったので、乗船しませんでした。(前年の3月頭にもオーロラに乗ったが、その時も流氷はなく遊覧クルーズでした)
ウトロは網走・紋別に比べ流氷のシーズンが長いので、お勧めです。

My husband found this tour online, and at first, I wasn't very enthusiastic about it. I have a fear of the ocean, and I couldn't believe I would be getting into freezing cold water. However, once I actually experienced it, all my worries disappeared, and I was able to play joyfully.

I was happy to walk on the vast sea ice and get into the water; it was a wonderful experience. Although I had some concerns due to my age, I am grateful for the once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you very much.

It was my first time wearing a dry suit, so I felt a bit awkward until I got used to it, but I was able to fully enjoy the ice floe walk without feeling cold at all. The staff were kind and took a lot of photos for us. The photos they took were linked on the Picchio blog that night, and we could access them with a password provided only to the participants of that day. It was very convenient to be able to download the photos taken with other participants as well. If you're visiting Shiretoko during the ice floe season, I definitely recommend joining this experience.

ドライスーツを着るのが初めてだったので慣れるまで少し動きづらかったのですが、寒さを感じることも無く流氷ウォークを思う存分楽しむことが出来ました。
スタッフさんが親切で写真も沢山撮ってくださいました。撮ってくださった写真は当日の夜にピッキオさんのブログにリンクが貼られ、各回の参加者だけに伝えられたパスワードで開くことが出来るようになっていました。他の参加者さんと一緒に撮った写真もダウンロードすることが出来てとても便利でした。流氷の時期に知床を訪れる方はぜひ参加してみてください。

It was fun to stroll on the drift ice itself! 流氷の上を散策すること自体は楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: ぴよ

Seeing the drift ice for the first time, I found it to be different from what I had imagined; it was heavy, deep, not salty, and not flowing, which was quite interesting.

Walking on the drift ice itself was fun, but I felt that the guide's explanations lacked details about nature, the local area, and the annual drift ice phenomenon, making me wonder if they were not from the area.

流氷を初めて見た自分にとって、流氷はイメージしているものとは違って重たいし深いし塩味じゃないし、流れていないしいろいろと面白かったです。

流氷の上を歩くこと自体は面白かったのですが、ガイドさんの説明において、特に自然や地元、毎年の流氷のお話などがなく、地元の方ではないのではと思いました。

This is fun. これは楽しい、

Reviewed by: tokada

From late January to early March, the drift ice that is born at the Amur River estuary makes its way to Hokkaido, and the drift ice walk is an experience unique to Shiretoko. It's worth staying in Utoro just for this.

In the morning, there was a light flurry of snow, but by the meeting time, it was cloudy. After gathering at the Picchio office and a brief explanation, we changed into dry suits. It's better not to wear too thick layers, as it makes it difficult to put on the suit, but since your toes can get cold, it's advisable to wear thicker socks. There’s a place to store your belongings and a valuables box, so you can basically go hands-free. I brought my waterproof case for my iPhone and GoPro around my neck. The waterproof gloves they provided were touch-compatible, so I had no issues operating my iPhone. In any case, you'll receive plenty of photos later.

After a short move, we arrived at a vast expanse of drift ice. At first, we walked carefully until we got used to it, and then we started breaking the ice and playing in the sea. It can get quite cold during a snowstorm, but on this day, the latter part saw clearer skies out at sea.

アムール河口で生まれた流氷が北海道に接岸する1月下旬から3月の初旬にかけ、知床だけで体験できるのが流氷ウォーク。これだけの為にウトロ泊の価値有り。

朝は少し雪がちらつきましたが集合時間には曇り。一旦ピッキオさん事務所に集まった後、簡単な説明のあとドライスーツに着替えます。
上下ともあまり分厚いとスーツが着にくいのでモコモコにはしない方がいいけど、つま先は冷えてくるので靴下だけは厚めで。
荷物も置けるし貴重品BOXもあるのであとは基本的には手ぶらでgo。私は首から防水ケースのiPhoneとGoProをつっていきました。貸してくれた防水グローブがタッチ可能だったのでiPhone操作も問題なしでした。いずれにせよ写真は後でいっぱいもらえます。

少し移動したら見渡す限りの流氷原。慣れるまでは慎重に歩いてその後は氷割ったり海に使ったり。吹雪くとさすがに寒いらしいですが、この日は後半沖の方は晴れてきました。

Dreamy Ice Walk

When I woke up in the morning, I was worried about the event because the drift ice had drifted quite far offshore, but it went ahead as planned. Since the event was held in the bay, there was plenty of drift ice, and with temperatures just under 10 degrees, there were many cracks, making it easy to get immersed in the ice, which was great. The guide also took a lot of photos for us, which was nice.

If I had to mention something, I would have appreciated having a waterproof case for my smartphone available for rent (it would have been nice to have been informed in advance that a waterproof case would be beneficial), and it was a bit unfortunate that the breakwater showed up in the background of the photos in the bay.

However, I was very satisfied because I received many photos for free! Thank you very much!!

憧れの流氷ウォーク

朝起きると流氷がだいぶ沖に流れていたので開催を心配しましたが予定通りでした。
この日は湾内での開催だったので流氷もしっかりあり、気温が10度弱で亀裂も多く流氷にドボンと浸かりやすくてよかったです。
ガイドさんがたくさん写真撮ってくれたのもよかったです。

強いて言えば、レンタル品でスマホ防水ケースがあれば嬉しかった(事前に防水ケースがあったほうがいいよとお声がけいただけたら嬉しかった)のと、湾内だとどうしても写真後ろに防波堤が映り込むのが惜しかったです。

でも、無料でたくさん写真もらえたので大満足です！

The drift ice walk was amazing! 流氷ウォーク最高でした！

Reviewed by: ひかり

Initially, I planned to just take a boat from Abashiri to see the drift ice, but as I researched, I found out that I could walk on the drift ice with Veltour, and even go further in, so I decided to go to Shiretoko.

I had some worries like, "What if there’s no drift ice?" or "What if the weather prevents us from walking?" but I was really glad that we were blessed with good weather and could safely experience it.

I had thought that the drift ice was all separate and just floating, so when I first saw it from a distance, I thought, "This is just like walking on snow." However, as I walked on it, I encountered the floating drift ice, and when I thought it was solid, it would sway and I would stumble or get stuck, which made it really fun. It was truly enjoyable!

I love Hokkaido and have been there many times, but this was the most fun and memorable experience I've had! I definitely want to participate again next year.

Our guide, Imahi, was very friendly and was smiling the whole time, which made the experience even more enjoyable and warm-hearted.

Thank you so much!

最初は網走から船に乗って流氷を見るだけの計画を立てていましたが、調べる内にヴェルトラさんで流氷の上を歩くことができる、さらに入ることができると知り知床まで行くことにしました。
流氷が来ていなかったら、、
天候によって歩けなくなったら、、
などせっかく行くのに、と不安もありましたが、天候に恵まれ無事体験することができてほんとに良かったです。
流氷とは1つ1つ離れていて全てがプカプカ浮かんでいるものだと思っていたので、初め遠くから見ていると「これって雪の上歩くのと同じやん」と思っていました。
ですが歩いていくとプカプカした流氷にも出会えたし、固いと思ったらゆらゆらで転ける、ハマる、というようなおもしろさもあり、ほんとに楽しかったです。
北海道がだいすきでたくさん行きましたが今までで1番楽しい最高の思い出ができました！
ぜひまた来年も参加したいと思います。

ガイドのいまひさんの愛想もとてもよくて終始ニコニコしており、いまひさんのおかげでさらに楽しめたし温かい気持ちになりました。

I participated in an ice floe walk for the first time. It was also my first time wearing a dry suit, but they taught me carefully, so I had no problems at all. I was grateful that they lent me a knit cap, which eased my worries about getting wet.

They took photos and uploaded them, so I didn't have to worry about bringing my smartphone and possibly dropping it, allowing me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

This time, I participated in tours from both Picchio and Shinra, and it was hard to choose between the two.

If I had to say, Picchio is great for beginners and families because they provide thorough support, while Shinra moves at a quicker pace, catering to those who want to enjoy things on their own to some extent. The experience areas were the same for both companies when I participated, so I don't think there was a significant difference in the content of the experiences.

初めて流氷ウォークに参加しました。
ドライスーツを着るのも初めてでしたが、丁寧に教えてくださるので、何も問題ありませんでした。
ニット帽を貸してくれるのも、濡れるのが気にならなずありがたかったです。

写真を撮ってアップしてくださるので、自分でスマホを持ち込んで落としてしまうかも、といった不安に感じることもなく、安心して楽しめました。

今回、ピッキオさんとシンラさんの両方のツアーに参加したのですが、どちらも甲乙つけ難かったです。

強いて言えば、
ピッキオさんは丁寧にフォローしてくださるのでビギナーや子ども連れ向け
シンラさんはサクサク進めてくださるので、ある程度自分で楽しみたい方向け
といった感じでしょうか。
体験のエリアは、自分が参加した時はどちらの会社さんも同じところでしたので、体験内容に大きな差は無いと思います。

Since it was an afternoon tour, I was also taken to a viewpoint for the stunning sunset, and I was very satisfied. Thank you very much.

Reviewed by: ゆっぴー

Before going, I was thinking about various things like whether my hat would be okay or if I needed sunglasses, but once I got there, the explanations were thorough, and they provided everything necessary. I was able to take a lot of photos!

Wearing comfortable clothes is key; I wore pants with an elastic waistband, and as long as you’re careful with double socks, you should be fine! It was mostly free time throughout, and since there were only a few of us, I think we had a lot of fun!

I brought my GoPro8, and I was able to use it without any issues with just a silicone case! Since the GoPro shutter is hard to press with gloves, I recommend filming videos and then cropping photos later.

I was worried about the cold, but once I took off the dry suit, I was warm enough inside, so there was no need to worry about the cold! Thank you, Keke, for the half-day experience!

行くまでは、注意点など読み返していると、帽子はこれで大丈夫かなとか、サングラスないけど大丈夫かなとかいろいろ考えていましたが、行ってみると、説明も丁寧で、必要なものは貸していただけますし、写真もたくさん撮っていただけました(*^^*)
動きやすい格好で、ズボンは腰ゴムのもので、靴下は二重は注意すれば大丈夫です！
終始ほぼ自由で、少人数なので、やりたい放題遊びきれたと思います！
私はGoPro8持参しましたが、シリコンケースのみで問題なく利用できました！GoProのシャッターが手袋で押しにくいので、動画を撮って、後から写真切り出しをおすすめします(*´艸`*)
寒い事を心配していましたが、ドライスーツを脱いだら、中が汗ばむくらい寒さの心配はいりません！

It seems that there are many tours with large groups, but this one was held with a smaller number of participants, allowing the guide to pay attention to each individual. As a result, we were able to walk further out than on other tours. The guide also took many photos for us, which can be downloaded later.

大人数でされているツアーが多いようですが、少人数で開催いただきガイドさんが一人ひとりに気を配ってくださったので、他のツアーより沖寄りに歩いて行けました。
写真もガイドさんがたくさん撮ってくださり、後でダウンロードできます。

Guided Hiking Tour of Lake Rausu in Shiretoko from May to October

A great feeling tour

Reviewed by: pilika

Only my friend and I made a reservation for the day, so it was like a private tour, very relaxing and nice. The guide was in good spirits and taught us a number of things.
They not only answered our questions but also gave us information that we were had no idea about, and about how nature grows mysteriously. We had never imagined some of the many viewpoints.
We were so excited and thrilled at hearing how Yamagishi, our guide, encountered a bear. It was fun to hear it. We would like to visit there again.
