About

Floating on the serene (and cold!) waters of Lake Derby, the Lake Derby Floating Sauna is the ultimate way to steam away your worries. Picture this: you’re in a cozy, wood-fired sauna, sweating it out while surrounded by nothing but the tranquil Tasmanian wilderness.

Just when you think you might melt, you dive into the cool lake below for an exhilarating shock to the system. It’s like nature’s own spa day, with a side of adventure and a dash of bragging rights.
