Stoke your inner fire

Our wood-fired remote floating sauna merges wellness and wilderness in Tofino’s backyard. The sauna is located deep within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, home of Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation. Kayaks, paddle boards, and a firepit to warm up beside. Tapping into quiet here is a lot easier in the vast solitude and stillness of Clayoquot Sound.

Named in Time’s “The World’s Greatest Places of 2022” – Read more.

*The floating sauna experience can be booked starting at $900 for four guests.

more than memorable

a magical wellness escape

There is no wifi. No cell service. Just you and the ones you love in a quiet, protected corner of one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes on earth — a scenic 35 minute ride by boat from Tofino Resort + Marina. Relax in the wood-fired cedar sauna and immerse yourself in the salty healing waters of the Pacific Ocean. From the hammock to heaven and back again, the feeling of remote has never been so close. It’s exactly the spot where your soul has been pulling you. Move towards it.

What's included?

Travel by boat to a remote part of Clayoquot Sound, just 35 minutes from our docks, on the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation.

Relax in a one-of-a-kind floating wood-fired sauna. Take cold plunges Wim Hof-style, cool off in a dock hammock, and then stoke your fire once more as your return to the sauna.

Restore mind and body with a mix of relaxation and on-the-water activities. Your guide will help you take out paddleboards and kayaks, or take an icy plunge in the waters of Clayoquot Sound.

Connect with your people. This private experience includes just you, the friends you bring along, a private guide, and the wildlife of Tofino’s lush ecosystems.
