The first time the player rides the boat, a cutscene triggers showing the coast of the region, including some other islands that can be seen on the way. The next time, only the animation of Willy getting on the boat and starting to steer it is shown. The boat arrives at a pier on the island with initially only a single path leading inland, as the rest of the island is closed off. The island is largely inhabited by parrots, which can be offered [[Golden Walnut]]s in trade as the player explores the area. Ginger Island is rather unique amongst the player-visitable areas of Stardew Valley because similar to the [[Greenhouse]], the current [[Seasons|season]] does not affect which [[crops]] can be planted and grown on the island, and nor does the current season affect which [[fish]] can be caught there.

The player can return to Stardew Valley at any time for free by entering the boat on the southern beach. They will usually arrive back inside the [[Fish Shop]], except on [[Festivals|festival days]] when the path back to [[The Farm]] is blocked, in which case the player will be deposited to the [[Bus Stop]] instead. If the festival is held on [[The Beach]], the player will be deposited on the bridge leading to the beach south of [[Pelican Town]].
