I called to book one of my 10 prepaid sessions and was told by the new owner, that he had to go off Island for a few months and to please be patient. I called after two months, then again that three months and he said he was back on Island but he didn't know if he could honor my 10 sessions, he would have to get back to me. Two weeks later called again with no answer no voicemail. Next, I looked at the website to see that Dream Float Hawaii had permanently closed!!!! There should be less than one star when something like this happens. read more

It's been two years since my very first cold plunge--I could barely last 30 seconds back then. Now I can comfortably stay in for 10-20 minutes at 40-45 degrees! The location, right on the beautiful east side of Oahu, gives such a safe and healing vibe that makes the whole experience even more powerful. Since coming to Dream Float Hawaii, I've dropped weight, gained energy, and feel healthier both physically and mentally. The isolation float tank sessions are another favorite of mine--deeply restorative and the perfect way to reset both body and mind. I highly recommend calling to book an appointment. It's self-care at its best, and you're worth it! read more

I purchased a floating session gift certificate for my wife as a present for Valentine's Day. On the scheduled date and time, she took a taxi to the provided address, only to discover that the owner had sent a text message shortly before saying the session was canceled due to a sudden power outage. What's disappointing is that they didn't call to make sure she actually received the message -- they only sent an SMS. As a result, we still had to pay for a round-trip taxi. My wife requested a refund, and they initially agreed. They told us the refund had been processed and that it would take about 1-2 weeks to arrive. After two weeks passed with no refund, we contacted them again. At that point, the owner stopped responding completely -- no replies to messages, emails, or phone calls from either of us. At first, we even considered that something serious might have happened, like a medical emergency, and decided to wait a bit longer. However, more than a month has now passed, and we still haven't received the refund. Meanwhile, new reviews continue to appear online, which suggests the business is operating as usual. We tried reaching out again multiple times, but received no response. It appears that our numbers may have been blocked. The website looked quite professional and trustworthy, which influenced our decision to purchase the service. However, the actual experience has been very disappointing. I understand that a power outage is not necessarily their fault. I can even accept the inconvenience of the taxi situation, although a phone call instead of just a text message would have been more responsible. I could also understand potential technical delays with issuing a refund. What I cannot understand is the complete lack of accountability -- ignoring customers, not responding to any communication, and possibly blocking our contact attempts. This feels highly unprofessional and irresponsible. In the end, we received neither the service, nor the refund, nor even an apology. read more

It's World Float Day! I've never done it before and have always wanted to do so after a massage from a local therapist who's done it and explained how amazing it was. Making an appointment is super easy using a link off their instagram @dreamfloathi where there are single or three float packs. On this day it was half of float and I couldn't resist that offer to give them a try and am so glad I did. Feeling is quite incredible...a cloud...most say and it's basically NOTHING. You're in a pod filled with about 10 inches of water that's filled with epsom salt which makes you float leaving you to your own thoughts and space all I could hear was my own breathing and if it doesn't bother you I took off my ear plugs which made it ever more silent besides my heartbeat and once your session is done a calming music plays. Geoff is just so kind and friendly giving complete instructions all the way up to the day of float on how to prepare for your float and pretty much provide everything that you need including a space to relax and decompress from the daily stress and grind...did you check out the view that I had! Thank you Geoff as this experience was one I'm so glad I did and what a dream! Thank you! read more

Dream Float Hawaii - Float Spa Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

DREAM FLOAT! We went in with an open mind not really knowing what to expect. My overall thought is that it was a relaxing experience. GEOFF was warm and welcoming when we arrived. He explained that everyone may have their own experience in the dream float chamber. You shower before and after the float. You enter completely naked. In our own separate chambers, we both left the float chamber door slightly ajar (For me, scaredy-cat maybe lol. Completely shut equals complete darkness). You can connect your phone to Bluetooth your own music or float in silence. I chose mediation music. Then... you float. Float your thoughts away. Float your worries away. I eventually fell asleep while floating. Ahhhh. Cool new experience. I do recommend you trying it at least once. $150 for a couples float. Street side parking. Will I return? Sure. read more

Owner canceled a session when I was in front of the building. I asked for refund and he ghosted me and my husband for 2 months. Money wasn't refund. Beware! read more

We had a couple booking, this was our first experience with "floating." The location was beautiful, the tanks were an extremely unique experience. I was so at peace once I became accustomed to the weightless feel. Sam was a great host and so accommodating. Very responsive. Will definitely book again! read more

To first meeting Sam, he was very thorough with explaining the process and the location was absolutely amazing! The float experience itself is amazing for the aches, joints, and even muscle soreness! Sam just took over operations BUT he offered his expertise about the experience and it was well worth it! Anxious, stressed, body aching, or just unsettled in your spirit! Go visit Sam and experience this unique opportunity! Veterans are always welcome as we were! read more

Absolutely wonderful experience! Highly recommend! I went with my sis and my niece to do the salt float. It was very special:) so happy we had the opportunity to enjoy this experience together. The location is gorgeous! Jeff the owner is so kind and welcoming. We will absolutely be back. read more

I did a thing today and floated at Float Hawaii. Floating is when you are put into a deprivation chamber/pod, and you float on about 10-12 inches of water. You're able to float so well because there is so much Epsom salt mixed with the water. I felt like what astronauts must feel like at 0 gravity. It took about 10 minutes for my body to "settle" and from there time wasn't a thought, just the darkness. Just alone with my thoughts which weren't many lol. I don't know if I fell asleep or not but the 70ish minutes flew by. 6 hours later and I feel so relaxed, I'm definitely going back as I've already booked 2 more appointments. Photo is the view from Float Hawaii. read more

Dream Float Hawaii - Float Spa Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I wanted to see what all the fuss was about so I decided to come here to float. The place is located in a residential area in the hills, and is awesome. Geoff is very friendly and has a calming nature. The place is very clean. Communication leading up to your appointment is second to none. They have two tanks: a large and a smaller tank. I floated in the larger tank. I bought the 3 float introductory pack. They also have occasional Groupon specials. Booking an appointment is online and very easy. Floating, or sensory deprivation tank, as it is also called, is just that. You are floating in a dark and quiet tank. It is very relaxing. It is to the mind/soul what a massage is to the muscles. I felt rejuvenated after the float. My mind was clear. Things to keep in mind are if you have cuts or just shaved, it will sting a bit. You go into the tank in your birthday suit and you have to remove all your jewelry. Dream Float is a top notch business and is an excellent place to experience the floating phenomenon. read more

my first ever isolation float tank experience, and it was a good one. thank you Sam

Dream float Hawaii is the best place on island. I always feel at my best when I leave. Geoff is professional, friendly, and always makes you feel very welcomed. I highly recommend this place and a float at least once a week. It will change your life. read more

This is relaxation on a different level! My husband and I got curious about "floating tanks" when our friend mentioned it to us. So good 'ole curious me opened my Yelp app and searched for "floating tank" and Dream Float Hawaii appeared on the top search. There are only three (3) floating tanks/spa here in Oahu and I chose Dream Float due to the amount of positive reviews and for earning a solid five (5) stars for each of them. I thought that this would be a good birthday gift for my husband, and serves as a way to relax myself too. I booked the couple's float via their website. Their website contains everything you need to know about floating, what to expect from it, do's and don'ts, FAQs. I really went through all the information that I can gather since it will be our first time doing it. Communication was excellent leading up to our appointment. I received an email confirmation immediately after booking, an appointment reminder email 24 hours prior to our appointment - and the spa owner, Geoff, even texted me a couple of hours before our appointment just to check in and provide their address. We arrived to their location which in a residential area uphill in the Kahala area and there were lots of street parking. As soon as we entered the gate, we were welcomed by the serene view overlooking the ocean. Then we heard a friendly "hello" from inside the house and it was Geoff. He got us all settled in first and didn't rush us to be ready, so we were able to ask a few more questions from him before we start our float session. The location was really clean and there's artwork to admire. Geoff gave us a tour and a rundown of what we needed to do before and after we float. We had our own private shower, complete with amenities to include soap and shampoo. He also has eye wash in case you get salt water in your eyes. Ear plugs were also provided. I chose to be in the Escape Pod and my husband went to the Orion Float Tank. It wasn't hard to float as the salt water forced me to do it. The water temperature was perfect, I felt like I was floating in space. I adjusted my arms until I felt comfortable, closed my eyes, embraced the darkness, and allowed the silence to take over my head. All I heard was my breathing and my heartbeat. I do have a hard time meditating on my own, and I felt like I was in a higher level of peace for the first time. Though it took me a few minutes, I was able to clear my head of all thoughts and allowed my to be "one" with myself . After a whole 60 minutes of floating in complete peace, I heard relaxing music to let me know that it's time to go back out in reality. After getting showered and settling back to daylight, Geoff had water and Acai juice to refresh us. We hung out for a bit as the ocean view continued to relax us. We chatted with Geoff for a few and he even shared his personal experience with floating as well. The relaxation didn't stop as we got home and slept like babies! Geoff suggested to do a 3-float trial as each float session can be a different experience. My husband and I plans to go back in the future as we want to get the full experience. read more

The most amazing experience you'll ever get in your life My son bought it as a gift It's fantastic for everything relaxing pain and the owner is absolutely the best he's No Ka Oi !!! I am on forearm crutches with injuries in both my legs and pain 24/7 I have bone and bone in my right hip and ankle as well as pain from a fracture in my right tibia. I have three tears in my left meniscus. I come out of a float and I am pain-free and walking again. I wish I could do it every single day! It's really quite easy to find and easy to find close ​parking on the street. You will feel amazing afterwards It's worth every penny. And you can send him relax and talk story and look at the beautiful views from his house. read more

This was my first experience in a float tank and it was such a wonderful one. The state your mind goes into with such relaxation is meditative. Geoff is so kind, and the communication about his location as well as pre-float info is superb. Such a great human being he is, you can tell he really has a deep connection with the healing benefits of floating. The location is beautiful as it's right in Hawai'i Kai, and he's got beautiful psychedelic art hanging in the walls inspired by others floating experience. Incredible. The energy is absolutely perfect here. I will most definitely be back! read more

Dream Float Hawaii - Gorgeous view - Float Spa Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Dream float was very relaxing & in a way spiritual. I got to feel & think about my inner self with no distractions. A much needed experience. I walked out of there feeling like I was on a cloud. The view was absolutely phenomenal! Thank you Chad for squeezing us in at the last minute! read more

This was one of the most usually relaxing therapeutic session I've ever expected! Honestly the only time I've heard of this kind of sensory deprivation was in Stranger Things. It was surprisingly relaxing and calming. Geoff Sato was so accommodating and informative with my first float. He walks you through what to expect with great tips of what to do and not to do. The grounds are beautiful with a spectacular view of Kahala and the South East coast of Oahu. The view was almost with the time itself. Dream Float has two tanks to choose from, a small and a large tank. I was fortunate enough to do my first load large tank and it was more what I expect in my mind. The tanks are filled with a heavy salt solution that gives you the sensation of floating, kind of like what I heard happens at the Dead Sea. My tank had also had a remote control for the lights in the tank. When you are ready and in comfortable position in the tank you turn off the lights and it is so dark that it doesn't matter if you open or close your eyes. Since you also have air plugs to prevent the solution to get a New Year's are you can hear your heartbeat. Some people choose to meditate I chose to meditate on God and reflect on past year and my future. It is so dark and quiet that you start to get into state of total relaxation and calm. Time starts to stand still in the darkness and quite and it seems like you are in there forever, but by the time you know it the lights slowly fade back on and music starts to play in the tank to let you know your time is up. Each tank has a private bathroom and shower. This experience was nothing like I ever tried before but I am totally glad that I did! If you ever thought about doing a sensory deprivation float contact Geoff set it up! I'm so glad I tried it! read more

Fast and easy booking online and friendly service over the phone with questions. All info can be found on website too. They have two tanks, one that you can stand in like 10feet tall and another that is small and can not stand in. Doors do not lock to float chamber so you will not get locked in, it's just a door you can open and close. You can go in and out as much as you like. They have showers and toilet in you privet area so you can get out and use them when you are ready. I took off a star because this is not for everyone. My wife was uncomfortable with being naked in the tank. You have to shower, then go in the tank naked. She could not relax because she simple was naked. She showered and left the tanks early. For me, I have ADHD! The whole time I was turning on my tummy, to see if I can float. Turning around and around. Trying different whys to move and float. Splashing around, feeling how thick the water is. So I didn't feel that relaxed. When we both got out, we enjoyed the view and hung out, outside. It's nice to sit out there and you are welcomed to come really and sit and enjoy the view and also after the float you can do the same. We were giving water and an açaí drink too. We both felt like we could get better results floating in our tub at home with our own Epson salt. But since I have bought a few floats, I will try again and try to relax and meditate. We will see if that works. read more

Dream Float Hawaii - Float Spa Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

What a treat to be able to experience this oasis in Honolulu. Unlike most commercial space experiences, this single float tank is in a private residence, but you have all the space to yourself and a full bath. The float itself is 60 minutes and the remaining time with take care of the pre-rinse and shower afterwards. Bath products are available, but for picky ladies like me, I brought my own. They have a blow dryer. Included are ear plugs and even sterile packets of petroleum jelly to protect any open wounds. Took me a while to get acclimated enough to fall asleep, but when I finally did it was the deepest sleep since I was a newborn. Float benefits: -relieves stress -recover from injuries -fight addiction -eliminate chronic pain -increases dopamine/endorphin levels -increases concentration -provides time for reflection -gateway to meditation Geoff and Sean are expanding soon, so take advantage of this unique intimate space while you can. Very impressed with the results of my first float. I was knocked out and completely relaxed afterwards. Now has me actively looking for a float center in the area to add to my regimen. read more

If you haven't done a float spa, you should because it was amazing. Beautiful morning and ride to downtown. Amazing communication and directions via email followed by a reminder text. Got to the place early and there is a gorgeous view of town. I received a brief of how to float and relax, got a tour of the pod, took a shower, & got in. With it being 10 times saltier than the ocean, it was pretty simple to ease in to just float. I was able to lay out completely with no anxiety of claustrophobia or anything. Very dark & quiet inside, just laying there thinking about thoughts, working on breathing techniques. I felt completely in control and relaxed. Sometimes I didn't know if I was sleeping & dreaming or just laying and thinking. It was absolutely wonderful. When the hour was over, the music started playing and the dim light came on. It was very easy to exit and take a shower and head out. Can't wait to do it again! https://www.dreamfloathi.com Thanks to my pal George in Japan for the recommendation to give this a shot. read more

If you have never floated anywhere, do it. If you meditate but haven't floated, do it. I won't explain the whole experience, there are plenty of other websites for that - I'll just say it is amazing. Dream Float Hawaii is my favorite spot on the island. Some of the things I look for in a Float Spa: Workers/Owners: Geoff and crew are GREAT. Always helpful, and sometimes will extend your float by 10 minutes or so if no one is immediately after you. Tanks: Needs at least two for couples/friends who want to do a session together. Dream Float has two. Further, one is a newer tank where you can stand when you enter. Much larger so you won't bump into the sides as often, little/no condensation dripping down, and no feelings of claustrophobia some have with the smaller tanks. Cleanliness: Dream Float is immaculate. From the bathroom to the tank, it has always been spotless and extremely clean. Ambiance: Perfect. Dream Float is located on a hill overlooking the ocean near Aina Haina. When you get done with your float you can sit in a reclining chair, sip the Acai juice and water they provide, and remind yourself how lucky you are to be in Hawaii! All and all, if you are looking to float in Hawaii - Dream Float is where to go. read more

This is a great way to relax and refocus your mind and body. I prefer the 90 min float even if my body relaxes within a couple of minutes, my monkey mind needs a little more time. It is not claustrophobic at all and looking at the art before going in helps ease and prime.your mind for a peaceful experience. It gives me away to let me body give me feedback on every inch so I know where to focus on relaxing and realigning. Helpful info for massage post floats. If you're in a place where deep tissue massage isn't appropriate this could be a good alternative to relax and retrain muscle memory. The guys are so warm and calm and welcoming, love coming out there! read more

Stressed? Anxiety? Insomnia? Well then you need to try this out. At first, I was a little skeptical as I could just go and meditate in peace by myself and probably achieve the same thing. WRONG! My first experience, I will tell you that I was a little nervous. The thought of being in a capsule, in the dark, no sound or light and just floating? Well mind you, I've always had this fear that I would be buried alive. That was my initial thought, but it does show you how the mind is a powerful tool. Upon arriving, you will fall in the love with the view. Its pretty breath taking to see all of the East side, the Ocean and the backside of Diamond Head. It what would expect when you need to relax or needing to clear your mind. Greeted by a friendly staff, they will answer any questions you may have. If this is your first time, they will go through the process on what you need to do, how you need to do it and also explain the benefits. After prepping...cover any cuts with petroleum gel, taking a shower and just being clean...you enter the capsule. It will be a little slippery but there are safety handle bars to assist you to get in. Once you are in, you just sit back, relax and clear your mind. Everyone will float as the salinity is high! You will be amazed. Honestly, in the beginning, you mind is going to be racing. Thoughts, things you have to do, things you never did etc. But give it about 5-10 minutes and relax. You have to really let all that to be released. Once you can achieve this, your mind will be free and clear. After this experience, Ive read numerous articles about the benefits of floating. If you have a chance, check out the articles then go and experience what its like to be free (of stress, etc.) read more

Dream Float Hawaii is THE BEST! The whole experience is amazing, from arrival to departure. The view, the float tank, the feeling of slowly drifting off into space and relaxing in ways otherwise not possible. The busy world gets left behind and when you step out of the tank you'll feel lighter - my boyfriend said "I felt like I was still floating!" Try it! You won't regret it! read more

Really interesting experience. Taken here by a friend. My first time w a float tank. Geoff was very patient and kind and explained how the whole procedure works. You shower first, in his bathroom shower, which is very clean and stocked well with soap and shampoo and sandals. Then you enter the float tank completely naked and float around in the salt water. The only thing to know is that this water does get cold after a while. I was not aware of this, and have a low body temperature to begin with so I was pretty cold by the end. At the end of the float you go back into the bathroom and shower off again. Geoff was very kind and also offered me some water because I was thirsty halfway through. Overall a very pleasant experience and new and interesting for me. Thank you Geoff! read more

I took my best friend there for her birthday. We did the couples float (such a great deal). Shawn helped us and was really professional and friendly. They provide towels, ear plugs, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I highly recommend this place to another, doesn't matter who you are. This was the most relaxing experience I've had in awhile, besides getting a massage. My back felt better. I felt renewed. THIS IS PROB THE NEXT BEST THING. I WILL BE BACK SOON. AND IVE ALREADY BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY FIANCÉ. read more

The owner and operator is kind and easy going. He answered all of my questions and calmed any concern I had. Plenty of parking and no trouble finding the place. Today was my first time, but I will be back. I have three sons so life can get hectic and hard to allow time for myself. My hour session was the perfect amount of time to zen out for a bit and a nice way to start my day. read more

I can not rave enough about this experience!!! Wowizers, I've have a few float tank experiences and this by far was my favorite. I will be getting a membership because of how wonderful it was!!! Geoff is warm, welcoming and kind. The entire float process was graceful and the tank was designed with the flower of life that I personally feel gave it an entirely different energy! It felt so sacred and blessed. Truly truly grateful to have found this gem! read more

Amazing experience! They have the new Orion float suite. This is huge! The sound system and color lighting is amazing. Top of the line IMO! Can't wait to float again in it! The set up, is top notch.

Sensory deprivation at it's finest. Add the relief of all gravities effects on your body and you have Dream Float Hawaii. I've been a member since their beginning 4 years ago and the only difficulty I have is getting myself there often enough. I feel that floating once a week would be great for my mental health but practically I'm lucky if I make it there monthly. But it's no worries with my membership as any unused floats just roll over to the following month. One of the key elements to making Dream Float Hawaii so nice and relaxing is its setting. It's in a residential neighborhood and in fact is in the bottom level of a large home with a beautiful view. It helps set the tone both before and after your float. The guys that run it are pleasant to chat with, informative and keep their two tanks and facilities pristine. It's nice to chill for a bit after a float and they offer you Açaí, Kombucha, water and good conversation if you care to share your experience. read more

First time floater today. What an amazing psychedelic experience. When I arrived I was greeted and was educated on how to float. After I showered I got in the pod and begin my float session. I found that most comfortable with my arms above my head while on my back. For the first third of the float session I felt like I was on LSD. I was tripping and seeing creatures that you would see at the bottom of the sea and I also saw lights while in pitch black. It was such a psychedelic experience. After my brain finally relaxed I felt like my mind shut off. I wasn't thinking about anything and I felt like I was floating in space in complete darkness. While in that state I think I was sleeping, but kind of awake. My body was twitching and I feel like I might've been snoring too. For the final phase I was tripping like I was in the womb and ready to come out. When you lift your hands out of the water while floating they feel 10 times heavier like gravity is really strong I've never done psychedelic drugs before, but I think this is as close as you can get to that high read more

Dream Float is still a solid 5 stars. Love the Omega tank and the facility is well kept up, sparkling clean and Geoff goes out of his way to make you feel welcome to relax with some conversation, water and kombucha post- float. No suggestions for improvements, you guys have it figured out perfectly. Very easy to book and pay for appointments online, love it. read more

I have floated two times here, and the experiences have been exactly what I needed them to be. The space is perfect for deep meditations, of any kind. I did a really intense body scan my first float, and focused on clearing my head space during my second float. The team/family is so loving and I have had such a wonderful time connecting with them. I definitely recommend floating, especially if you're looking to grow in yourself. Love and Light to you all! read more

My son brought us here as a surprise while we were vacationing in Hawaii. What a totally awesome experience! You go to this gentleman's home and he has two float tanks available. The experience is something I will never forget. You shower and then enter the float tank and the salt water just allows you to float effortlessly. My session was an hour long and so relaxing I fell asleep. You shower again when you are done. Everything you would need is provided for you like soap,shampoo, and towels. After you are finished, the owner has a refreshing drink for you and offers you a seat on his back shaded patio with a killer view of the ocean! You gotta come here it's incredible! read more

This place is fantastic! It's super easy to find, nice neighborhood, and plenty of parking. It's an awesome experience from the second you walk in door! The ambiance is perfect--very relaxing and peaceful. Shawn was there to greet me and super great the whole time. It was very clean and there was absolutely nothing to worry about. The float tank was one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had. I've struggled with depression and insomnia for a couple of years now and very few times felt complete relief of the depression, but I did in the float tank and for the rest of the day after! I've been meditating every day for the last six months at least 20 minutes a day, but usually not longer than 40 minutes. I did a 60-minute float and I could have easily gone another hour. Time didn't pass too quickly, or drag on. I was able to relax in a way I never have and get to a mental state I strive for every day in meditation. I will be going back at least once a month and plan to give this as a gift to a bunch of friends! Thank you, Dream Float, for making this so incredible and affordable! read more
