2025 Jindo Sea Parting & Cherry Blossoms Festival

The 45th Jindo Miracle Sea Parting Festival is back this spring and this year, the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom down in the south west island. The road will be covered on both sides with the beautiful cherry blossoms which is a fantastic sight to see. This wonderful Festival will include so many things there such as the highlight of the Sea Parting, Holi Hai Jindo Color event, EDM Party in the evening, Jindo dog show and much more!
Jindo is a magical place where once a year the sea parts almost like the biblical story of Moses parting the sea. This phenomenon that happens once a year ONLY in Jindo, lasts long enough for people to walk across an island distance of 1.8 kilometers, usually situated in the middle of the sea. Jindo Sea Parting festival, also called the Jindo Moses Miracle, is one you must see while you are here in Korea. It is one of the 3 biggest festivals in Korea each year, along with the Mud Festival and Ice Fishing Festivals. The opportunity to witness and walk the 40 meter wide path for about 1.8 kilometers is highly recommended.

On early Saturday morning, we are leaving from Seoul /Suwon /Osan /Mokpo to join us for an early morning bus ride down to Jindo to participate in the Festivities. On the way from Seoul we will pick up others from different cities, like the ones mentioned above so don’t feel like you have to miss out.

This year the sea parts are early in the morning and once in the evening. It is a good idea to purchase the thigh high gumboots at the festival. Some parts of the path may stay covered in water and there can be large pools that you may step into as you cross. It is highly recommended to buy boots or wear something to protect your feet because there are sharp sea shells etc in the water.

While walking across you will see a myriad of sea creatures. Feel free to bring a plastic bag to collect any to take back for a snack later in the evening.

The whole festival venue has a variety of booths set up with some delicious local foods for you to experience.

This year we added in some other fun events where you can win some prizes. We will have a talent contest for the Foreigners at 1pm with prizes given out to the winners (group singing is also welcomed) or whatever talent you have. Please let us know in advance so we can have you signed up. 

The annual Holi Hai color event is another fun thing to participate in.

Everyone must wear a white T-shirt to participate so bring a white shirt or you may purchase a T-shirt there by the event area. This event will be fun to throw different colors on your friends and all others who participate before doing the 5:30pm sea parting.

Bring your own white t-shirt and you’ll get enough powder packs from us  to enjoy holi hai!

We will get our rubber boots and walk in the parade with the villagers as they beat the drums and other musical instruments. The villagers will lead us to the parting of the sea. After you get back you may freshen up and get ready for the Global Zone night Party.

Our accommodation is an Ondol Korean style room with bedding, so if you have a group let us know so we can put you all together. You may bring an air mattress for more comfort if you like but after a long day of festivities and night party, you will just end up passing out.

The accommodation at our Youth Hostel is a renovated building, very clean, plenty of bedding (Must bring your own towels and toiletries). The whole building is for Adventure Korea and Good Times Rok ONLY !

Starting at 7:30pm till about 10:00pm, Good Times Rok (GTR) will be providing you with a band, dance team, and Dj’s for the Global zone party. 

On the second day, start your morning with a delicious packed breakfast before we head off to Mokpo. Upon arrival, enjoy the stunning cherry blossoms on the Mokpo Cherry Blossoms Cruise, with a packed sandwich to enjoy during the scenic ride. Next, immerse yourself in the rich history of the region at the Mokpo History Museum. As our last destination, you’ll visit Udal Mountain and lace up your hiking boots for a refreshing trekking, where you’ll experience breathtaking views and the beauty of nature. It’s a day full of memorable experiences!
