Day budget — admission plus ferry
Island admission is ₩11,000 for adults (general), ₩8,000 for middle/high-school students, and ₩5,000 for children. Uniformed enlisted military/police pay ₩8,000. Groups of 30 or more pay ₩6,000 (middle/high) or ₩4,000 (child). These prices cover the garden only—not the ferry. Add boarding fare when you budget the day.
| Category | Price |
|---|---|
| Adult (general) | ₩11,000 |
| Middle / high school | ₩8,000 |
| Child | ₩5,000 |
| Military / police (uniformed enlisted) | ₩8,000 |
| Group middle/high (30+) | ₩6,000 |
| Group child (30+) | ₩4,000 |
The same amounts appear on the official GUIDE and the booking-center FAQ. Some operators mention Geoje-resident refunds—if that applies to you, ask whether you buy first and refund at the island booth with ID.
Sample costs for families and groups
Two adults plus one elementary-school child: admission only ₩27,000 (₩11,000 + ₩11,000 + ₩5,000). One middle-school plus one high-school student: ₩16,000. A group of 30 children at ₩4,000 each: ₩120,000. Ferry is extra. On the Jisepo online deal (verified 28 September 2026), weekday adult boarding is ₩22,000 and weekend/holiday adult boarding is ₩23,000 (admission separate)—so two adults on a weekday ferry alone add ₩44,000. For two adults + one child on a weekday Jisepo deal, a rough total is admission ₩27,000 + adult ferry ₩44,000 + child ferry ₩15,000 ≈ ₩86,000. Other piers and dates differ—check the live booking page.
Picking a pier and time on the island
There is no road access. You land only by ferry from the official seven piers: Jangseungpo, Jisepo, Wahyeon, Gujora, Dojangpo, Haegeumgang, and Dadae. Pick the pier closest to your stay, then lock in that day’s timetable and seats.

Oedo Botania is a maritime botanical garden in Hallyeohaesang National Park. Address: 17 Oedo-gil, Irun-myeon, Geoje-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. Phone: 055-681-4541 (+82-55-681-4541). Booking hub: 1688-8788, 09:00–17:00 daily.
Official garden hours are 08:00–19:00 in summer and 08:30–17:00 in winter. The garden is listed year-round, but weather, pier maintenance, or staff training can still block landing. Whether you can set foot on the island that day depends on the ferry departure timetable.
| Season | Hours |
|---|---|
| Summer | 08:00–19:00 |
| Winter | 08:30–17:00 |
On-island stay is typically about 1.5–2 hours, set by your ferry product. Jangseungpo FAQ: landing stay ~2 hours, total course ~3 hours with Haegeumgang. Jisepo: 2 hours on island inside ~3 hours 30 minutes round trip. Dojangpo: ~2 hours on island, total ~2 hours 40 minutes. Note the return boarding time as soon as you land—miss it and you wait for the next boat. If you want Venus Garden, coastal paths, and photos, budget the full 2-hour window.
Tickets, weather, and what to pack
Buy Oedo admission at the ferry operator’s ticket booth when you collect the boarding pass. Even if you reserved the ferry online, you still pay for island admission on-site when you pick up the boarding pass. There is no online pre-purchase of admission alone. The Oedo ferry booking center FAQ says the same.
Weekends and peak season sell out fast—reserve the ferry online early. Online deal prices can differ from walk-up rates. Photo ID is required for every passenger. For children, operators often accept a family register, insurance card, or similar. Without ID, you may be denied boarding.
Weather cancellations and what to bring
Typhoon, swell, fog, or port control can shrink or cancel landing and/or the Haegeumgang sightseeing segment. If Haegeumgang is dropped but Oedo still runs, many operators keep the same fare with no partial refund. A full weather stop usually means a full refund (e.g. Dojangpo terms). Rain alone does not auto-cancel; personal rain cancellations may incur fees.
No smoking or alcohol on the island, and no outside food. Stay off flower beds; do not collect plants, soil, or stones. Expect stairs and slopes—wear walking shoes. If mobility is limited, ask your operator about routes before you book. Pets are usually not allowed on the ferry or island. Park in the ferry operator’s lot.
Frequently asked questions
Q. Does the ₩11,000 adult price include the ferry? A. No. Adult ₩11,000 / middle-high ₩8,000 / child ₩5,000 is island admission only. Ferry round-trip is separate.
Q. Does rain cancel the boat automatically? A. Rain alone does not auto-cancel. Typhoon, swell, fog, or authority controls can reduce or cancel sailings. Full refunds apply when the boat cannot sail at all (per operator terms such as Dojangpo).
Prices and timetables change by date, weather, and operator. Recheck the official GUIDE and your ferry operator before departure.
