On ps4 I never got the danger in the deep achievement until I went to ginger island the first time and then I got that achievement instead of a distant shore

Happened to me aswell. Ps5
Repaired the boat, took a trip next day and the deep achievement plopped.

The trophies are swapped, completing 'danger in the deep' will give you the 'distant shores' achievement. I'm playing on a ps4 save

GINGER ISLAND SPOILERS BELOW

Once you've reached ginger Island and collected enough golden walnuts to enter the Walnut Room, you'll be able to access more quests (2 to choose from each week). Accept the 'danger in the deep' when it appears. It will change the regular mimes to a difficult version and completing it gets you the 'danger in the deep achievement'. However, with the current bug, it will instead grant you the 'distant shores' achievement.
If you've already completed the quest, you do not have to redo it. Instead, go to floor 120 and set the shrine to the dangerous mines if not already activated. Return the next day and you should get it. This is how I got mine to work. Hope it helps :)
 
Bumping for awareness! This needs to be fixed. "Just do the other thing" isn't a viable solution. A good workaround in the meantime, sure, but we need an actual patch before long
