About this tour

When Jake from our team tried the Infinity Float Centre, he spent an hour alone in a sensory deprivation tank filled with Epsom salt water—no sound, no light, just his thoughts and the gentle pull of weightlessness. It's a wellness experience that sits between meditation class and spa treatment, popular with stressed travellers and locals looking to reset. The centre runs two pods and two float rooms on a two-hourly schedule, so you're never jostling for a spot. You get a quiet prep, the float itself, and a wind-down in their relaxation lounge with herbal tea after.

Highlights

  • Proper sensory isolation—no muzak leakage or stray light seeping in
  • The salt density makes you genuinely weightless, not just floating
  • Post-float herbal tea in a calm lounge actually extends the experience
  • Small-group setup means no crowds or queuing
  • Host preps you so first-timers aren't caught off guard
  • Suitable for all fitness levels, accessible entry if you're not a gym person
  • Two-hourly slots allow flexibility without overbooking

What to expect

Jake arrived expecting awkward silence and claustrophobia. Instead, the host walked him through the basics—how to float, what the button does, where your feet go—which killed any anxiety before he stepped in. The water was warm and the tank genuinely cuts you off from the world. Your mind does wander at first, then settles into something close to blank. An hour passes differently in there; it might feel like twenty minutes or two hours depending on where your head's at. When he emerged, Jake spent twenty minutes in the relaxation room sipping tea, and that bit genuinely felt like part of the experience, not an afterthought.

Good to know

The good

Float tanks work for stressed travellers and anyone after a proper reset—no judgment, just physics and salt. You're not crowded in with strangers, and the gear's clean and discreet. If you've got tight shoulders or bad knees, the weightlessness does give your joints a break.

The not-so-good

Cardiovascular issues are a real contraindication; don't ignore that. The centre doesn't include transport, so you'll need to arrange your own way there (public transport is nearby). Peak times might book out, so confirm your slot early. If you've got fresh cuts, tattoos, or sunburn, the salt will sting—wait a week or two. Claustrophobia could be genuinely uncomfortable; it's an enclosed space. Budget 90 minutes total (30-min buffer for changing). No children policy isn't stated, but check first.
