Float Tank

Float Tank Experience

The closest thing to switching off the world.

Modern life rarely gives us true silence. Phones, screens, conversations, deadlines and constant stimulation keep both the mind and body switched on. Our Float Tank Experience gives you permission to step away from all of it.

Inside our Australian-designed and manufactured Apollo Float Tank, approximately 30 centimetres of warm water is combined with 350 kilograms of Epsom salt. This creates exceptional buoyancy, allowing your body to float effortlessly on the surface without having to support its own weight.

As the water supports you, pressure through the body is reduced and muscles are given an opportunity to soften and relax. With the interior light and music turned off—if you choose—external sound and visual stimulation are minimised, creating a deeply quiet and private environment.

There is nothing to do, nowhere to be and nothing being asked of you.

What Does Floating Feel Like?

The water is warmed to approximately skin temperature. Once you become still, the boundary between your body, the water and the surrounding air can feel less noticeable.

One Mens Body Works client described the experience perfectly:

“After a while, it was impossible to tell which parts of my body were in the water and which were not. It felt as though I was floating in the air.”

Some people settle into stillness almost immediately, while others need a little time for their thoughts to slow down. There is no correct way to float. You may meditate, daydream, focus on your breathing, listen to music or simply enjoy being away from the outside world.

You remain in control throughout the experience. The internal light and music can be used according to your preference, and you may open the tank or leave the session at any time.

Why Do People Float?

Most clients book a float because they want uninterrupted time to rest and reset. The reduced-stimulation environment may help you:

  • Experience a deep sense of physical and mental relaxation

  • Take a genuine break from phones, screens, noise and conversation

  • Unwind after demanding work, travel or physical activity

  • Ease the sensation of everyday muscular tension

  • Create quiet space for meditation and reflection

  • Support a broader relaxation, recovery or sleep routine

  • Emerge feeling calmer, rested and mentally refreshed

Everyone experiences floating differently. Some clients notice a profound feeling of stillness, while others simply appreciate an hour in which no one can reach them and nothing requires their attention.

Floating is a complementary wellness and relaxation experience. It should not be promoted or relied upon as a treatment for medical conditions, mental-health concerns, injuries or skin disorders.

Where Did Floatation Begin?

The first float tank was developed in the 1950s by physician and neuroscientist Dr John C. Lilly during his research into the brain, consciousness and the effects of reducing external stimulation.

Today, the experience is often known as Floatation-REST, meaning Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy. Modern float tanks are used in wellness, relaxation and athletic-recovery environments around the world.

Our Apollo Float Tank is Australian designed and manufactured and provides a spacious, enclosed environment in which you can personalise the level of light, sound and sensory reduction.

Preparing for Your Float

To make your experience as comfortable as possible:

  • Avoid shaving, waxing or exfoliating immediately before your appointment, as the salt water may sting freshly treated skin.

  • Avoid applying body oils, moisturisers, deodorant or other products before entering the tank.

  • Remove contact lenses before your session.

  • Eat lightly beforehand and avoid arriving immediately after a heavy meal.

  • Consider limiting caffeine if it makes it difficult for you to relax.

  • Shower thoroughly before entering and again after completing your float.

  • Earplugs can be provided to help keep salt water out of the ears.

Small cuts or areas of recently irritated skin may sting when exposed to the highly concentrated salt water.

Is Floating Suitable for Everyone?

A brief suitability check will be completed before your session. Floating may not be appropriate if you have open wounds, skin ulcers, a contagious illness, gastroenteritis, uncontrolled epilepsy, kidney disease, very low blood pressure or severe claustrophobia.

Please speak with us before booking if you are pregnant or have a heart condition, asthma, a severe skin condition or sensitivity to magnesium, sulfates or water-sanitation products.

You must not use the float tank while affected by alcohol or recreational drugs. If you take medication with a sedating effect or have any concern about whether floating is suitable for you, please seek advice from your healthcare professional before booking.
