Kuuma Nature Sauna, Australia’s first sauna boat, is located just 20 minutes south of Hobart at Margate Marina.
Offering the ultimate blend of adventure and relaxation, Kuuma invites guests to step aboard and discover the ritual of heat and cold on the calm waters of North West Bay. Each sauna cruise begins with the gentle warmth of a traditional wood-fired sauna before an invigorating plunge into the clear Tasmanian waters, leaving body and mind refreshed.
The floating sauna is thoughtfully designed for comfort and connection. Sessions are limited to eight guests, creating an intimate atmosphere whether joining a communal session or booking all seats privately.
Alongside the sauna, guests can enjoy change facilities, a seating area with fire-pit, a rooftop terrace and music system. For those seeking more time, extended three-hour charters allow space to fully savour the rhythm of soak, steam and swim while taking in uninterrupted views of Tasmania’s wilderness.
Situated at the gateway to the Huon Valley and Bruny Island, Kuuma pairs beautifully with a day of exploring food, wine and wild landscapes. Operating with care for the natural environment and community, Kuuma offers an experience unlike anywhere else.
Those seeking to restore and reconnect are warmly invited to embark on a sauna cruise and discover Kuuma for themselves.

After Dark Sauna Cruise
Step aboard for a nocturnal sauna escape this winter. As night settles over North West Bay, let the warmth of the floating wood-fired sauna draw you in. Limited to just six guests (18+), this intimate Off Season experience unfolds under the quiet of the Tasmanian winter night. While the vessel drifts through the darkness, melt into the heat, cool off with a bracing dip beneath the stars and sip peppermint tea as you return to the glow.
Winter Sunrise Sauna Cruise
Escape on a sensory dawn awakening with our Winter Sunrise sauna session aboard our floating wood-fired sauna. Cruise out onto North West Bay while morning light spills across the water, then embrace the sauna’s crackling heat. If you can pull yourself away from the rejuvenating warmth, brave an invigorating coastal dip in the icy winter waters of a secluded bay before returning to the heat in true sauna tradition.
Sauna Stories – At the Dock
Friday nights on Kuuma, docked and still. As water laps against the hulls of empty boats, our sauna runs warm and gentle, inviting a long, lingering stay. Alternate the heat with firepit moments and softly spoken stories playing throughout the boat, with a different literary theme each week. A winter Off Season experience that is distinctly Kuuma. Available 1 May to 28 August from $90 per person.
