Unwind and reconnect with nature during a rejuvenating sauna and ice bath session beside the tranquil Kawarau River in Queenstown. Choose between a vibrant community session for 75 minutes, where you can mingle with like-minded individuals, or opt for a private 2.5-hour experience that includes guided sauna rounds. Feel the stress release as you transition from the warm, wood-fired sauna to invigorating cold plunges in the river or ice bath. Surrounded by stunning mountain views, enjoy herbal tea and the warmth of a fire pit, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation and connection.

Sweat away your worries inside the wood-fired barrel sauna, with varying temperatures between 80 and 100 degrees celsius. Afterwards, choose if you want to cool down by jumping in the flowing river, stepping into the ice bath with temperatures between 1 and 4 degrees, or use the cold shower instead. This drastic change from hot to cold has incredible health benefits, supporting recovery while connecting you with yourself. Look around and enjoy the stunning Queenstown mountain views while laying down on the garden lounges. The fire pit and tasty herbal tea will warm you up, making it easy to let go of any remaining stress.
