Icebreaker Garinko

The sound and vibration of the powerful breaking of the ice is a moving experience that you can feel in your body!

The Garinko-Garinko III is a drift ice sightseeing boat with two huge drills on the bow, which breaks up the drift ice in a powerful motion. The second floor of the Garinko III is barrier-free and has a spacious seating arrangement for wheelchair users. If you are lucky, you may be able to see wild animals such as seals, Steller's sea eagles (a natural treasure), and white-tailed eagles resting on the ice floes. Come out and enjoy the spectacular view that can only be seen here during the drift ice season!
