    Tour Highlights

    • Japan’s first drift ice SUP! The fantastic drift ice that only appears during this season!
    • Enjoy an extraordinary experience with the wild animals of the far north
    • As an SIJ-certified school, we can provide you with safety and peace of mind.

    This is the first tour in Japan where you can enjoy SUP with drift ice as a backdrop.

    Drift ice can be seen floating every year in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, located in northeastern Japan. The drift ice season runs from January to March, with the peak drift ice SUP season occurring from late February to early March.
    Hokkaido is the southernmost spot in the Northern Hemisphere where drift ice appears. If you’re lucky, you might even spot animals that come from the far northern seas, such as Steller’s sea eagles and spotted seals.
    Come and enjoy this extraordinary experience!

    We are SIJ certified.
