Drift ice forms in the sea along the Siberian coast and floats south to Shiretoko in February and March, the only time you can see it.
It’s an important part of the local ecology, including for brown bears and other wildlife.
These tours will help you experience Shiretoko’s drift ice for yourself. This can be done in a number of ways; some tours let you walk over it, or even dive or kayak among it. In addition, taking a cruise on a sightseeing boat is a way to enjoy a different view of the scenery with its wildlife.
