Step off the grid, leave the pressures of daily life behind, and immerse yourself in a floating sauna experience set in two stunning locations - Lake Derby in Tasmania and Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra.

Both locations offer shared and private sessions, with Lake Burley Griffin featuring two independent sauna rooms side by side.

Each sauna includes inbuilt chromotherapy, using coloured light wavelengths to support mind and body balance, and we love the complimentary lavender-infused ice cubes for a calming post-session cool-down!

Allow yourself to stop, press pause, and sweat out anything that no longer serves you. Sauna Boat Tasmania invites you into a floating wellness experience, all while surrounded by the natural beauty of Oyster Cove Marina in Kettering—the gateway to Bruny Island.
