By taking a boat cruise along the rugged western coast of the Shiretoko Peninsula, you can get a look at the more remote parts of the national park, which are otherwise only accessible on foot.
From May to October, two companies are offering sightseeing boat cruises on two different routes from Utoro: The shorter cruises go half way up the peninsula as far as the Kamuiwakka Falls, while the longer cruises go all the way to the tip of the peninsula.
"Shiretoko Kankosen" operates large sightseeing boats for 2700 Yen on the shorter route (90 minutes, 5 departures/day) and 6000 Yen on the longer route (4 hours, 1 departure/day, June to September).
Competing "Gojiraiwa Kanko" operates smaller, faster and more agile boats for 3000 Yen on the shorter route (1 hour, 5 scheduled departures/day) and 8000 Yen on the longer route (3 hours, 1 departure/day).
