Review for: [Summer Early Bird Special] Noboribetsu Popular Hot Spot Day Trip

I do enjoy this tour and highly recommend in you want to explore different area/places within Sapporo. I much better enjoy this compared to yesterday cherryblossom full day tour. Our tour guide Xixi also knowledgeable with the area and appreciate that she emphasize the time to go back in our bus. She also take good picture of me. The weather was also nice which added with the good tour. Perhaps will go back here with Fam and book this tour again. Thank you Klook 🥰

Its a well planned tour taking you to all the key destinations! Our guide, Tracy, was very knowledgeable about hokkaido and gave us a detailed run down about food recommendations. She was also kind, friendly and welcoming. Overall am really satisfied. You can buy lunch midway through the tour at showa shinzan so you won't get hungry!

Review for: [Summer Early Bird Special] Noboribetsu Popular Hot Spot Day Trip

We took this tour last April 4, 2026. Our tour guide HONG was a pleasant guide and he messaged us ahead of the tour a day before. The itenerary is actually packed but relaxing although, if I may suggest, the Lake Farm Hill would have been more relaxing if we were given an hour instead of just 30 minutes as it is lunch break. There is another place to eat at the Showa Bear park(we were given an hour here), but I believe food choices at Lake Farm Hill is better and the view of Mt. Yotei is really breathtaking. I just thought we could have stayed a little longer to enjoy it fully. Over all, it was a good tour and our guide HONG was very informative as well. Tour is from 8am to 5pm but it could have been extended to 5:30pm if another 30 minutes was added to Lake Farm Hill.

Review for: [Winter Limited Edition] Hokkaido Noboribetsu Day Trip

Our tour guide, Mr. HONG, was seriously the best! The night before, he already messaged us with all the deets and timings. And even during the tour, he'd always hit us up on WhatsApp about when to be back on the bus. He'd even tell us if it was a long drive to the next spot and suggest we hit the restroom first. I totally recommend this tour, especially with Mr. HONG. You can just tell how passionate he is about his job – it really shines through! I salute Mr. HONG, you're the best tour guide we've met. Oh, and he always has a smile on his face too!

An interesting tour with the Hell Valley being the highlight. Don’t underestimate the path if your going in winter—some parts are very icy and slidy—but overall manageable. Also, there’s an opportunity to snow mobile and it’s a diff experience from other snowmobile areas you should try.

Review for: [Winter Limited] Hokkaido Noboribetsu Day Trip

I was on Mila team and yes it was a great experience. Mila was chatty, friendly and proactively took our pictures on snowmobile and also keep offering to take pictures whenever there's a good view. She even said bear ranch is optional as its small and same as in pictures online and not pushing us to go and recommended to have lunch instead yet the restaurant is full as there is only 1 restaurant there so I went to see the bears. Mila speaks very good English and keep interacting with us on the bus. She kept pushing us to buy the face horse cream which was expensive but now I dont regret it as I realised its not easy to find it in my country and probably only time I got chance to buy. Snowmobile single cost 15k yen, double 20k yen which have to be paid on bus in cash, expensive but worth the almost 40-50min ride and the scenic views

Highly recommend the tour, easy to book, service was great, good transport. All planned well, our group was big, tour was bilingual in English and Mandarin. It was ok for me as I understand both languages. Just a bit short on each stop and a bit rush if u want to do shopping. But overall we managed to do shopping or eating during the stops. Really convenient for tourist. I would do the same next time to visit other areas.

the tour had great pacing and the time allotted for each spot was appropriate with the activities you can do within the area. the places we visited was very laid back and peaceful, i wish we could’ve stayed at lake hill farm a little longer. our tour guide, Mila, was friendly and approachable as well. she gave clear instructions and made sure we were satisfied with the tour. she even suggested some restaurants and food we must try when visiting Hokkaido. overall, we definitely had a great time and the tour was surely worth every penny.

Review for: 【冬季限定】集合點集合

It snowed heavily the day before ❄️, and the weather was super good with blue sky and white clouds the next day when we participated in a one-day tour. It was just powder snow so we rode our own snowmobile. It was easy to control and a very enjoyable ride. Halfway through, we had 30 minutes to take photos, play in the snow, and ride on a skateboard. The tour guide Tenzo was also very enthusiastic and introduced and shared the must-try things in Hokkaido. The whole trip was very enjoyable! For some self-funded trips, it is recommended to inform the approximate amount, because you need to pay in cash, but you can prepare more in advance. Otherwise, now that everyone has switched to electronic payment or credit card, you won’t carry so much cash. Although there are also times to withdraw money at convenience stores, it is of course better to prepare in advance~

Review for: 【Winter Limited】Meet at the meeting point

It was a good experience. The snowmobile activity was so fun. We enjoyed it so much. The tour guide speaks English and he is good. Unfortunately, he didn’t book a restaurant for our lunch. We were starving, but instead of taking us to a restaurant for lunch, he kept showing us products in a souvenir shop.
