Islands with Flowers to Visit by Boat in Spring
Experience seasonal changes while walking through Camellia forests, wildflower paths, and marine gardens
Traveling to islands to see flowers is not just about catching the peak blooming day; it's about enjoying how the sea breeze, vegetation, and village life intersect along the way. The Camellia forests, cultivated marine gardens, and wildflower trails of Namhae are all unique, with different colors and walking experiences even in the same spring season.
This collection features eight islands that can be reached by boat or by walking across bridges, without simply listing flower names. Since blooming times can vary every year, and considering the limited time for boat stays along with the facilities available on the islands, this guide is designed to help you plan leisurely strolls rather than rushed schedules. By deciding in advance what you want to see and how long you wish to stay on the islands with flowers to visit by boat in spring, you can have a more relaxed itinerary.

Oedo
Wido
Oedo suits people who want to enjoy warm-climate plants, landscaping and sea views all at once in a man-made marine garden. Like Jangsado, it is a densely landscaped garden island, but it differs in that cruises depart from several piers in Geoje and you can choose routes linked with Haegeumgang. Your time on the island is tied to your cruise's meeting time and the viewing paths have many stairs, so if anyone in your group has trouble walking, it is better to plan a shorter route in advance.

Jisimdo
Jisim-do
Jisimdo suits people who want to walk slowly along forest paths where camellia trees form tunnels and take in the red spring scenery. Unlike the landscaped gardens of Oedo and Jangsado, here you meet camellias along natural coastal forest paths, crossing by boat from a terminal in the Jangseungpo area and getting around the island mostly on foot. Blooming times vary from year to year and there are uphill sections and slippery forest trails, so the bloom status before booking a boat and shoes with firm soles are what matter most.

Hahwado
Hahwa-do
Hahwado suits people who want to walk the Flower Island Trail past wildflowers, coastal cliffs and village stone walls. Where Sanghwado across the water centres on quiet village lanes, this island is all about walking its circular trail, and it is closer to untouched flower paths than the garden islands. There are cliff-edge sections and food is hard to come by on the island, so bring water and snacks and time your walk to the last boat back.

Sanghwado
Sanghwa-do
Sanghwado suits people who want to quietly take in uncrowded village lanes, everyday flower patches and the sea, across the water from Hahwado. Compared with Hahwado, known for its Flower Island Trail, it centres on low-lying island scenery and village daily life, making it an island for lingering slowly rather than sightseeing. Ferries call at Sanghwado only on set days and there are few tourist facilities, so the calling days, departure port, drinking water and meals need sorting out first.

Jangsado
Jangsa-do
Jangsado suits people who want to follow the marine park's viewing path past camellias, sculptures and observation decks and appreciate how the garden is composed. It is a landscaped garden island like Oedo, but sculptures are set along its paths, and departure points and time on the island differ by cruise package in the Tongyeong and Geoje areas. The right package depends on the camellia bloom status, the cruise meeting time and whether you can manage the stair-heavy paths.

Sorokdo
Sorok-do
Sorokdo suits people who want to walk among the trees of Central Park while remembering the history of the human rights of people affected by Hansen's disease that lies behind them. Unlike the other islands, which require a boat, it can be reached by road via Sorok Bridge, but it is not simply an island for flower scenery; historic spaces and the living spaces of actual patients exist side by side. Follow the guidance of the Sorokdo National Hospital, stay within accessible areas and do not enter patients' living spaces.

Naedo
Nae-do
Naedo suits people who want to slowly observe the vegetation of a small island where evergreen forest, camellias and a pebble beach sit close together. Like Jisimdo, you meet camellias on natural forest paths, but here you cross by boat from a pier in the Gujora area and walk both the forest and the pebble shore. Boat operations and trail conditions change with the weather and there are few facilities on the island, so knowing where to find drinking water and toilets in advance is reassuring.

Imjado
Imja-do
Imjado suits people who want to drive around at leisure, taking in the wide Daegwang Beach and seasonal flowers in the fields. Unlike the other islands, where boat times set the pace, you can drive in via Imja Bridge, and rather than gardens or forest paths, it offers a strong contrast between sea and farmland scenery. Flower festival and bloom information changes every year, so the latest details are in the official notices, and a jacket comes in handy against the beach wind.

Wido and Jangsa-do boast dense scenic marine gardens, while Jisim-do and Nae-do offer evergreen forests and Camellias along picturesque coastal paths. Hahwa-do and Sanghwa-do are characterized by small villages and tranquil flower paths, and Imja-do contrasts wide beaches with the seasonal colors of fields. On Sorok-do, you will encounter the beautiful trees as well as must-remember historical accounts of human rights.
The state of the flowers can significantly vary depending on temperature and weather, so don't rely solely on past festival dates. Be sure to check the latest updates from local governments or operators. Remember to leave the plants untouched and stay on designated paths; adhering to the scheduled arrival and departure times will allow you to enjoy the seasonal islands longer.
Island homes and workplaces are not tourist sites, so stick to marked paths in the villages and leave without taking or leaving anything behind.
