Sapporo
The fifth-largest city in Japan, Sapporo has just about everything you would want in a big city: shopping, delicious food, and bustling nightlife, among many others. And though many are in Sapporo for only a day or two as they make their way to Hokkaido, we recommend staying a bit longer for the local experiences if you can spare the time! Some must-visit attractions in the city include the Sapporo TV Tower, the Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill, and Susukino for those wanting to experience the local nightlife scene. Sapporo is typically at its busiest during February when visitors flock to the city to partake in the Snow Festival and in the summertime to feast on beer and delicious eats at the food festivals.

Tour is very comfortable, and the tour guide is very informative and communicative. Certain unavoidable delays because of snow storm happened, but nevertheless, we were able to come back earlier because of our guide. Ningle terrace is not passable die to the snow storm, but enjoyed the snow mobile so much because of the winter wonderland view!

I bought a tour from Klook that covered everything in one day, totally worth it. Started at the zoo, got to be in the front row, super close to the penguins, saw every move clearly, very impressive. Then went to the farm, drove a snowmobile, fun but this activity requires an extra payment. Then stopped to take pictures with pretty Christmas trees for about 20 minutes, got lots of winter atmosphere photos. Ended at Ningle Terrace, strolled around for about 1 hour, romantic atmosphere, very cute little shops. The guide took great care of us, constantly asking if we were having fun, if we were okay, helped find seats on the bus. I was always the last to get on the bus, but the guide didn't leave me, called and waited until they were sure everyone was on board. Impressed with both the program and the service. Highly recommended! 👍

I participated in late February, and the focus of this tour is whether the icebreaker can reach the sea area with drift ice. The drift ice drifts in from other places, and I was very lucky to actually see the icebreaker using drills to break the ice floes. Actually, even if you don't see the drift ice, it's still a good experience. For this tour, the last ship to depart on the day of registration (4:30 PM) is always chosen. On that day, the captain sailed for an extra half hour to let us see 10 minutes of icebreaking, so this last ship really has the benefits of being the last one. The sunset scenery on the sea is also great. Of course, driving from Sapporo directly to Mombetsu takes 4 hours, with two rest stops in between, so the ride is a bit tiring. But thanks to the guide's attentiveness, the whole trip became interesting. In addition, the group members were informed of all the details of the trip and boarding, making the whole trip very smooth. If the weather is good, you can arrive at the port of the Mombetsu icebreaker earlier and take a stroll around the area. But the other activities, such as seeing seals or taking a bus to an observation deck, and the ice sculptures and fireworks at night, I personally thought were just okay, serving as accompaniments to the main event. The key is whether you can set sail. If the weather is very bad, the sailing will be canceled, and seeing the drift ice was very moving!

I really enjoyed this tour. its my first time seeing penguins up close as they walk pass by me so its a core memory. my 2nd time to do snowmobile but would definitely do it everytime I visit Hokkaido. Our tour guide Kevin is very organized, informative, and he even goes beyond by taking Photos of us --- very good photos 😊to commemorate the trip.

We had Mr Hong as our guide and he was really informative! He introduced each places that we visited and gave us fun facts and tips as well. Although the itinerary felt quite rushed with not enough time in each location, we still enjoyed the tour.

Highly recommended tour! Our guide, Chillin, was very accommodating even from the day before. Despite the heavy snowstorm in Sapporo that morning, we were still able to visit all the planned stops and return on time. PS: The Mt. Usu Ropeway and Snow World Toya were definitely the highlight of this tour for me!!

Thank you to our guide, Risa (or perhaps Lisa?) from Qingdao, for leading us. The whole trip was very smooth, also thanks to the punctuality of the group members and the driver's snow driving skills. This Sapporo trip was a wish come true for me. I've wanted to come for ten years, but various reasons meant I didn't have the chance until I was in my 40s. When planning the itinerary, places like Lake Toya and the Ice Waterfall Festival were really hard to reach without driving. Luckily there's Klook. I used Klook in Okinawa before to get to many places, and it didn't disappoint this time either. Although I was the only Hong Kong man in the whole group, the overall experience was excellent. Thank you to everyone for making my trip so fulfilling.

Grace has been a phenomenal tour guide, providing information in 3 languages throughout the tour! She's very sweet and kind! We were able to view everything in the schedule and had fortunate clear weather. The driver was on time and provided a smooth experience. I truly believe the night tour is better and I highly recommend Grace and this tour.

It's not easy to create such a fulfilling day on our own. The schedule proceeded smoothly and on time, so we had a fulfilling tour. Most of the tourists were Chinese, and we were the only Korean family. The guide speaks English, but is fluent in Chinese. We understood most of the explanations from the itinerary and photos provided, and it was nice to be able to rest quietly in the car. We parted ways at the final beer factory tour, had enough time to drink, and continued with our own personal schedules.
