Guides can show you nature’s best-kept secrets, or try a dynamic trail run! [ View details ](https://book.explore-niseko.com/public/booking/order02.jsf?mv=1&vs=explore&slcid=8a80818a8f1686d5018f1913262f01ba&i18n=en) ## Book with Confidence. Our deep local experience means you can plan your time in Niseko with peace of mind. Here are a few things worth knowing. ### Do I need to be an expert skier to go cat skiing? There are a few options for varying skill levels, but for all backcountry tours you do need to be comfortable in powder, trees and generally steeper terrain. ### Do I need experience for snowmobiling? There is snowmobiling to suit a range of experience, from first-timers to petrolheads. Anyone can go snowmobiling; it just depends on how fast (or slow) you are comfortable going. ### Do I need to be super fit for snowshoeing? You generally do not need to be super fit, but you will be walking for up to an hour or so on most tours. Tours can be tailored to suit your fitness, so there is something for everyone. ### Is it worth going to another resort for a day trip? In short, yes. It is always great to experience other resorts on a ski holiday, and in Hokkaido the choice can depend on the snow and weather on the day. ![](https://d2smd08xgped62.cloudfront.net/activities/_960xAUTO_crop_center-center_none/hirafu-ski-lifts.jpg) ![](https://d2smd08xgped62.cloudfront.net/activities/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none/3566/%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8C%E3%83%BC%EF%BC%92_160606_112951.jpg) ![](https://d2smd08xgped62.cloudfront.net/activities/_960xAUTO_crop_center-center_none/explore-backcountry.jpg) ![](/assets/img/halftone-reverse.webp)## Why choose us? ### 01 Local Knowledge − We live here, play here, and we know Niseko inside out.
