Paddle Otaru’s blue coast past cliffs, coves, sea life, and a secluded beach on a calm-water kayak tour led by trained guides.
“This was an amazing way to see this beautiful coast. I highly recommend! A lovely activity and Max was amazing. He was instructive and patient with our group of almost all first timers and fun to hang out with. He even helped us sort cabs after.”
Paddle Hokkaido’s Shioya coast past cliffs, caves, sea life, and a quiet swim stop on a safe, small-group kayak tour.
“Max was a skilled and informative guide, great area to kayak and lovely to pull up at a beach and have a swim! A bit of difficulty finding the meeting place but otherwise very happy with the experience.”
Kayak through drift ice on Hokkaido’s Okhotsk Sea, then warm up with fresh steamed and grilled seafood in Abashiri.
“This was an amazing experience, not only for the scenic aspect able to do so kayak with drift ice ! But for the kindness of the entire team accompanying us . All the guide were super helpful . Not mentioning the lunch which was excellent made all from fresh seafood products ! Amazing experience !!”
