Active passengers on a summer call who want two hours on the sea rather than another street.
It starts at Shioya on the coast west of town, not at the berth, so add the bus or taxi ride out and back. Bring your own swimwear, hat and water, and the record advises against it for anyone with heart problems.
It takes place at one venue, so there is no route to list.
Guide languages: English. Cancellation: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. Run by Momentum Hokkaido.
Booked through Viator (a Tripadvisor company). There is rarely a tour desk at the pier, so book before you sail.

About 5 hours. The tour runs 2 hr; add half an hour to get off the ship and keep the hour before all-aboard free. The base is opposite Shioya Kaigan bus stop, outside the town centre, so add the ride both ways.
