[GARINKO GO Ⅲ Icebreaker] The two large propellers at the bow of the ship rumble forward through the drift ice, providing a thrilling cruise experience. Even on board, you can feel the sound and vibration of the ice being broken, and the crushed ice floats up from the side of the hull. One of its appeals is the ability to observe the drift ice up close. This is a representative sight of winter in Hokkaido, experience the mysterious drift ice spectacle! Feel the grandeur of the drift ice in the Sea of Okhotsk, the northernmost part of Japan, and you may even encounter white-tailed eagles, Steller’s sea eagles, and adorable seals resting.
