Overview

The Garinko II is an icebreaker tourist ship navigating the Okhotsk Sea off Monbetsu. Equipped with a reinforced bow designed to break ice, it offers a dynamic voyage as it plows through the drifting ice. During the ice season, the ship may be surrounded by ice, creating a feeling of being lost in a magical ice world. From the Garinko II's windows, you can enjoy panoramic views of the stunning drifting ice. The blue hues of the ice change their expression with the sunlight, offering a different spectacle every time you visit. With a bit of luck, you might even spot seals resting on the ice floes or eagles soaring through the sky. The Garinko II cruise lasts about an hour, but it's an hour you'll never forget.
