Covering a total area of over 390,000 square meters and stretching 1.9 kilometers in length, Snake Island is a natural seascape marine park. To get to the island, visitors must take a boat from Tongyeong. Since the boarding and return docks are located at two different points on the island, each passenger is issued a boarding pass by the boat captain. This pass must be presented to board the return boat by a designated time. Visitors typically spend about 1.5 hours on the island from arrival to departure.
