The LANTOKO Drift Ice Walking Tour will officially begin on February 1, 2026 (the schedule may be delayed if the drift ice arrives late). This year, many guests reported that they did not receive the system’s automatic reservation confirmation email. We have asked the reservation administrator to check and resend the emails, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
On the day before your tour, the system will automatically send a pre-tour confirmation email. However, to prevent possible system errors that may result in some guests not receiving the email, we have posted the contents of the pre-tour confirmation email on our official website. Please be sure to check it.
1. Tour Status:
Please check the “Latest News” section on our official website to confirm tomorrow’s tour status! If the ice conditions or weather are unfavorable, the tour may be canceled, and we will announce it immediately in the Latest News section. Individual notifications may not be provided, so please check in advance.
