From the reviews

First time experiencing floating but it was amazing. But the massage was excellent too. Thank you for making mine and my husband's day a very relaxing one! Made our vacation a great one. See u soon, before we leave, will have another massage.

Great experience! Would highly recommend for anyone to go here on vacation while in the area! A friend loved the massage and float while all of the rest of us only got the float.

First time doing a flotation pod. It was amazing! I also appreciated the pre-appointment information provided on the website so I was prepared for the appointment and knew what to expect even though the attendant explained it all again to make sure I understood the process and was comfortable.

Excellent experience! When we arrived we filled out a form and watched a very informative little video about floating. The video went over some basics, what to expect, and what to do to get the most out of the experience. We were then taken back to the room and were given instructions.

Your first float at Floatation Station LLC

Never floated before? Almost no one has their first time, and a good center expects it. Here's what to know. What it is: you float effortlessly in about ten inches of skin-temperature water saturated with around 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt — so dense you cannot sink. In the dark and quiet, with no light, sound, or gravity to react to, your nervous system downshifts. Before you come: don't shave or wax for a day beforehand (salt stings fresh cuts — they'll have barrier ointment if you nick yourself), skip caffeine, eat a light meal an hour or two before, and remove contacts. If you colored your hair recently, wait a few days. In the tank: shower first, put earplugs in before you get wet, and keep a fresh-water spray bottle within reach for salt in the eyes. You can leave the light or music on until you settle, then turn them off from inside. Hold your arms out for the first 20–30 seconds to stop bobbing, then let go. It takes a few tries — the first 20 minutes are usually your mind winding down. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to shower and get oriented.

Floating isn't for everyone: skip it with epilepsy, kidney disease, uncontrolled heart conditions, open wounds, a contagious condition, or in the first trimester of pregnancy without your doctor's OK. If in doubt, ask the center and check with a physician — this is general information, not medical advice.
