Ginger Island is an extra region that Stardew Valley players can explore once they’ve played through the main portion of this relaxing RPG game. We’ll walk you through the different requirements you have to meet to unlock this fun island map, as well as what you can do once you get there.
Things You Should Know
- Visit Willy at his shop after fixing up the community center or Jojamart.
- Repair Willy’s boat by giving him 200 pieces of hardwood, 5 battery packs, and 5 iridium bars.
- Pay 1,000 gold for Willy to take you to Ginger Island, or craft an island obelisk to teleport to the island from your farm.

1
Complete the community center or Joja Community Development Form. Ginger Island is considered a post-game feature in Stardew Valley, so you need to complete the main objective of the game first: either repairing the community center or completing the Joja Community Development Form.
2
Get a letter from Willy and visit him at the fish shop. Once you’ve finished repairing the community center or completing the Joja Community Development Form, receive a letter in your farmhouse mailbox that invites you over to the fish shop. Once there, Willy will show you his boat, which needs to be repaired.
- This boat will eventually take you to Ginger Island.

Give Willy 200 hardwood, 5 iridium bars, and 5 battery packs to fix his boat. Submit these items to Willy to finish the repairs:
- Where to find hardwood: In the secret woods; on the forest and four-corners farm maps
- Where to find iridium ore: At the lower levels of the regular mines; in the Skull Cavern
- Where to find battery packs: In lightning rods after a thunderstorm; at the Traveling Cart
4
Pay 1,000 gold for a ticket to Ginger Island. Head to the back room of the fish shop between 9 AM and 5 PM to access the repaired boat. Pay 1,000 gold to enter the boat, which Willy will board and use to transport you to Ginger Island (shown in a cutscene).
- You'll need to pay 1,000 gold to Willy each time you want to visit Ginger Island. This is a round-trip fee, so you only have to pay it when you first depart.
