How to unlock the Feathers Forever achievement in A Short Hike - Definitive Guide

The island is confusing to describe, but I found a good visual guide for finding these. All credit to that author.

You guys need the silver feathers. One is on an island on top of the mountain and the other is for returning the wristwatch to a guy in the southern part of the island. You get the watch from the same guy that sells you 4 golden features for 100 gold each.

This is the Map I used - super useful. Just unclick everything except for silver feathers to get the location for the feature on the island mountain and the location of the quest giver for the other feather.

Mr Guts, the 20th and final one is now on the boat race you have to do which is tied to the not a scratch achievement for completing it under 45 seconds.
All you need to do for the feather is complete the course in under 2 minutes :)

They removed the one from the rock next to the tough kid

Don't forget to speak to Jim (the frog NPC) along Sid beach after giving him the shovel and once he has made a sand city. The feather should appear a short time after this.This was the last feather I needed and it was baffling me for the longest time.

@Mad Fool77 thanks for that, it was the same for me. It does not appear as soon as you talk to him you have to leave and come back in a bit. It will be on top of the largest castle

For the feather of Jim the Frog, I talked to him once, after he build the sand city, and I walked away and come back to him, after that the golden feather shows up.

I didn't realize there were silver feathers. I needed to collect the two silver feathers for the achievement.

@FiveWizz I'm sure I'm far too late on giving you advice, but for any future people with the same question - go fishing and sell to the pelican guy on the big boat for cash. He only gives you money for fish he hasn't seen before (otherwise you just get bait for turning in repeats), and the amount he gives you varies depending on the fish's rarity but it's usually around 10 for basic fish and upwards of 30 for rare ones.

For some reason I am missing one feather, followed the guide after collecting 15 as I played the game. Another thing to mention in game it says I only have 6 shells, yet it still allowed me to get the necklace to give to my aunt.

Collect all 20 Golden Feathers and 2 Silver Feathers for this one to pop. To get this achievement you need the following:
  • Complete the Feather Finder Achievement (collect 10 Feathers)
  • Collect 15 of the 20 shells scattered around the map
  • Get a rally of 10 hits in Beachstickball
  • Complete the Not a Scratch Achievement (the boat race challenge in under 45 seconds)
  • Gather in at least 980 coins
This video covers all of the above and will set you up for completing the rest of the game easily, having all the feathers makes everything else easier.

There are a total of 22 Feathers you need to collect; 20 Golden and 2 Silver. You'll need a total of 980 Coins for 8 of them so be sure you're collecting all of the coins you come across in the game. You can also sell Fish to the Boat Captain on the Eastern side of the island, though keep in mind that he'll only buy one of each type of Fish (it'll still net you a pretty good penny). The locations of all of the Fish are shown in the map below. If you prefer to use a video guide, one has been provided just below the map.
 
1. Just next to Aunt May's House
2-3. The Visitor's Center. You can buy 2 from the Park Ranger for 40 Coins each.
4. Just next to the Visitor's Center
5. There is a plastic shovel here that you can pick up, then bring it back East along the coast until you meet a Frog building sand castles. Speak with him and you'll trade the toy shovel for an actual one. Leave the area and come back. There will be a few more sand castles in the area. Speak to the Frog and exhaust the dialogue. Leave the area and come back. There will be even more sand castles now and the Feather will be on top of the one by the water.
6. Among the trees
7. Along the cliffside
8. In a chest just next to the Lookout Point
9. In a chest on top of the tower
10. Play a game of stickball and get a score of at least 10
11. Complete the Boating Challenge once
12. Along the cliffside
13. Just above the tree in the graveyard where you start one of the Parkour races
14. Dig a hole at the end of the shadow of the Lighthouse to dig up a chest. The Feather is inside the chest.
15-18. You can buy 4 Feathers from the bird at the cliff leading up to Hawk Peak for 100 coins each.
19. On top of the Lighthouse
20. There is a Painter located here that you need to talk to. When you do, she'll move. Meet her again at the Lighthouse, followed by the "mouth" of the Western river, then the Graveyard, then the Lookout Point and finally the Visitor's Center. After you talk with her the final time, you'll get the Feather. 
21 (Silver). Just North of the Visitor's Center is an RV down by a small pond. Speak with the Mouse and she'll tell you about her missing watch. Go to the bird at the cliff leading up to Hawk Peak (where you got Feathers 15-18). You'll need to give him 400 Coins, then he'll give you the watch. Return the watch to the Mouse and she'll give you the feather.
22. On the very top of the Mountain on this small island.
