Experience Aotearoa New Zealand's first floating sauna on beautiful Lake Whakatipu. Close to everything in central Queenstown, but feels like nowhere else. ‍


Whether you’ve just returned from an adventure or seek a moment of stillness, Watershed lets you shed the layers of everyday life and restore your body, mind and spirit in one of the most beautiful places on earth. And if you listen closely, you might just feel the lake’s gentle rise and fall, the legendary heartbeat of a sleeping giant, said in Maori legend to still pulse beneath the waters of lake Whakatipu.


Shared communal saunas can be booked in 1-hour blocks, or you can book a private sauna for up to 6 people. Cold plunge in Lake Whakatipu is included for each booking.


See more about this activity provider here, however in order to ensure bookings work within your trip itinerary, please book directly with your guide on tour.
