Join in for Dark Dip, a floating, wood-fired sauna ritual on Hobart's waterfront during Dark Mofo in June 2026. Suspended between fire and icy water, and surrounded by crisp Tasmanian air, this winter experience invites you to move slowly, breathe deeply, and surrender to the elements. 90-minute sessions (6–10 & 23–28 June) offer extra time to immerse yourself more deeply in the rhythm of heat and cold. Feel the steady crackle of the sauna melt away tension before stepping into the on-board ice bath, with space to linger, soften, and fully embrace the stillness of winter on the harbour. 60-minute sessions (11–22 June) guide you through a focused sauna and ice bath ritual, allowing you to reconnect, reset, and emerge restored. Dark Dip is an invitation to pause beyond the everyday — to step into the contrast, embrace the season, and become a winter person. What to Expect: Sauna: Surrender to the expert heat of our wood-fired sauna, designed to melt away tension and rejuvenate your spirit. Ice Bath: Take the on-board plunge and feel the icy waters awaken you. For a gentler option, our shower bucket provides an invigorating alternative. Guided Rituals: The Kuuma Sauna Masters will ensure a memorable experience, helping you navigate the journey of fire and ice.
