Information on drift ice sightseeing tours
The popular drift ice icebreaker "Orora" × board the Rausu Cruise!
・Orora
A large sightseeing boat with a bottom that is twice as thick as a regular sightseeing boat. With that gravity, you get on the ice, break the ice, and move forward. The sound of ice hitting the hull is powerful!
・Rausu Cruise
Cruise while looking for animals and birds that have overwintered in Shiretoko. A chance to meet wild animals that live in the sea in the harsh winter, such as white-tailed eagles and sea eagles!
* Cruise may be canceled due to inclement weather.

関西国内旅行センター企画担当者：中江 綾
北海道方面を担当して7年間で最も感動した瞬間でした。
オホーツク海上空に差し掛かるとベテランパイロットのアナウンスが入り流氷観賞がスタート。
機体が徐々に高度を下げると、一面に広がる流氷の絶景が現れ、息を呑むような感動体験が待っています。
チャーター便しか飛行できない特別なエリアから北海道の大自然が生み出す壮大な景色を見られるのは当企画だけ！
通常ツアーでは味わえない、担当者イチオシの貴重な体験をお楽しみください。
