Imagine the best massage you've ever had and then double that feeling and you'll know how you feel after a good float session! Your body and mind are always dealing with gravity so giving it a break for an hour allows you to relax like nothing else. Besides the positive physical feeling I get a chance to let my mind work out things that are bothering me. It's like therapy for the body and mind. Dream Float has a nice set up in the downstairs of a beautiful private home in Kahala. The tank is big enough to get comfy and the shower and space are clean and private. This was my 4th float and first time floating in Hawaii since this is the first pro operation to start up here. If your body and mind need a break do yourself a favor and try a float here. read more

Great experience!! Was skeptical at first. Most home style "float centers" are a little sketchy. Not the case here! Unbelievable view, clean rooms, flawless float! read more

I love floating in the float tank! G. Is really friendly and makes you feel comfortable. I like the location and atmosphere. The experience is different than mostly anything. I've always loved floating in the ocean so i figured i would try this out. Since i am always over stimulated by noise, touch, and even light. I'm super aware of everything around me which leaves me constantly irritated and exhausted. Sensory deprivation seemed like the perfect thing for me. It is not for everyone, but i think everyone should try it out at least once. I like it so much that i signed up for the monthly float. Towels and ear plugs are provided. I never felt uncomfortable or rushed. read more

I always wanted to try a session in an isolation float tank. Years ago, on an inter-island flight, I read about Dream Float Hawaii in a Hawaiian Air magazine article and decided that some day I'll check it out. Finally, my fiance and myself went as a pair (just to clarify we were in our own tanks in our own rooms) and booked a 1 hour session earlier this month and enjoyed the experience. Service was excellent and the facility was great. For anyone looking to experience a float, I highly recommend booking yourself a session with Dream Float Hawaii. Thank you for opening your home and allowing Honolulu the opportunity to float! read more

Finally a floating experience is available on O'ahu! Not only is it available, it is beautiful! The location and set up is really ideal for all your floating needs. I met the owner and he is such a good person that it makes floating even that much better when you know your money is supporting an amazing business and a great person! Floating is pretty much the greatest experience human beings can have aside from flying or being at sea. So if you're an experienced floater or if you never have before, be sure to make yourself a regular at Dream Float Hawaii. Trust me! read more

I am probably going to do a much longer review of how wonderful this place and the experience of floating is, but for now, this is it. First off, the guys who own dream float/work here are super friendly, caring, and down to earth. If you are a little weary about trying it out, they will totally make you at ease and comfortable with the whole thing. I had done lots of research before they even opened about how good floating is for you and all the great health benefits so I was pretty excited to finally get to try it out. And when I did...ahhhmazing! I LOVE it! I try to go as much as I can now because it helps to relieve body aches and pains and is so relaxing-you will probably fall asleep (and that's so great too when that happens!) and you will probably feel like you are in space...your body starts feeling weightless and everything is dark and quiet. No cell phones, traffic, people blabbing, etc...just peaceful bliss and your body is completely supported. Highly recommended for people in jobs with lots of noise, high stress, sports, and/or parents. It's a beautiful place to just "get away." *sidenote: lots of people are deficient in magnesium and it causes lots of health problems (look it up online)...when you get in the float tank, your skin is absorbing tons of magnesium from the high concentration of it in the Epsom salt, so, not only is it relaxing, but it's making you healthier! Just go already! read more

I have to say I had a pretty interesting experience today, one I hope to have again and again in the near future. Today, I floated for the first time! By "floated," I mean that I spent an hour in a flotation therapy tank. What it is essentially, is a sensory deprivation tank that's filled with water and epsom salt, which causes you to float. Every tank or pod is different, and depending on what kind it is, it can offer mood lighting, tiny lights resembling an outer space-type of experience, or just complete darkness. It sounds a little silly, but like they say, don't knock it until you've tried it. I was really nervous at first because I've never "floated" before, but when I got there, Sean welcomed me with such hospitality. He made sure I was comfortable with the space and also to pay attention to use and safety instructions, which he guided me through pretty well. He also knew his stuff; he seemed well-versed in floating and all that it involved. I got excited. The overall vibe of the place was peaceful. Think "Zen." I immediately felt calm and relaxed. I proceeded to the bathroom area, undressed, took a cold shower, dried off, and hopped into the flotation tank. The smell of the epsom salt was unmistakable because it was *pretty* strong. The key is to not touch your face or eyes once you've touched the water because it'll sting! In the introduction earlier, Sean also made sure to tell me that there was some water in a small bottle located on the wooden bench beside the tank to flush my eyes with in case I get some on my face or near my eyes. As soon as I got my bearings and was inside safe and sound, I put my head back and floated immediately. I was informed that you could float with the door open, partially open, or closed. Since it was my first time, I decided to leave it open. P.S.~ You can float in the nude or with a bathing suit :D I opted for the former lol. Hey, might as well make the most of the experience! haha. I digress. The space where the tank was situated exuded serenity, peace, and quiet. I had my own private tank, private bathroom, and shower. Towels were provided as well as makeup remover, contact lens solution, ear plugs, soap, shampoo and conditioner, as well as a place to put your personal belongings. I remember feeling like I was in a hotel and the space was all mine for however long I "rented" it. After my float, I was welcomed with a glass of green juice and water in the lobby/sitting area. I was told I could stay for as long as I wanted, to take in the serene space, the beautiful scenery outside, or read and relax. I almost didn't want to leave. P.S.~There is a waiver you have to sign before your first float. Understandable considering you'll be in water. read more

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

See all

The business is run out of a private residence but maintains a professional, clean and comfortable space. Jeff and Shawn are great, personable people. I took advantage of the beginner's 3 float deal which I do recommend. Each float was a different experience. The first float was exploratory in nature. The second and third float had more purpose and direction as I had an idea of what to expect and an idea of what I wanted from the session. read more

This is an experience that I want to have OFTEN! I felt like every little cell in my body was tingling and my body was dissolving into space.... #freedom to just lay and be weightless. Once you can get past the mind chatter (deep breathing helps!), you reach a very #peaceful state. Thank you Geoff for bringing this to the islands and for offering it at such an affordable rate!! I can see the #FloatTank following a reiki and/or massage treatment before hand to assist the relaxing of the mind and the muscles of the body! And maybe some #Gong!? I feel this would definitely assist in an even deeper experience in the chamber! Collaborations to come?! I think so! read more

I love floating and prefer the smaller tank here. I started with three sessions of 60min but think 90min is perfect. Jeff and Shawn are great - always courteous and answers all of my questions. I frequent this establishment every time I'm in Honolulu. read more

Wow. Quiet, clean facility with friendly helpful staff. Today was my fifth float - it's my favorite way to de-stress, relax and meditate all at the same time. Highly recommended!!! read more

One of the best ways to reset yourself and recharge. You really get to unplug from the thoughts and feelings you have and when you get into the float tank and dissolve into meditation. You also benefit from the epsom salt and if you have any pains from pushing your body through the stresses of life this is one of the best ways to recover. Definitely recommend trying it. read more

Best float I have had yet. Such a comfortable and peaceful environment to unwind. Very clean and the friendliest of staff. I highly recommend it to anyone on the island or visiting. read more

Dream Float is an amazing experience. Floating is awesome all by itself, but when you add to that what Geoff and his partners have put together you get a whole new level. The location is easily accessed and in a beautiful quiet neighborhood away from the bustle of the city below. The ocean view already has the experience started by the time you are greeted by the very friendly and tranquil staff. The lounge waiting room is peaceful and comfortable with plenty of eye candy and eclectic reading if you want to preload your float experience. The facility is very accommodating and squeaky clean. Nothing there to throw off the vibe you create from the floating experience. I felt like I had full control over the environment and everything I needed to get the most from my time. Did I mention the friendly staff? They have a passion for their business and it shows in their quiet exuberance. I can't recommend this place enough wether you're a first-time floater or frequent flier. read more

I just had my first float session this morning. The environment is very clean, inviting, laid back like it should be. Geoff explained things thoroughly. After probably about 15 minutes or so of trying to decide the "best" for me, hatch up or down or partially open and what position to put my arms/legs, I finally totally relaxed and guess I relaxed enough or fell asleep because the next thing I knew, the music came on and 90 minutes had come and gone (huh??). It was nice after that taking in the view of the ocean in the distance in the antigravity chair that sits outside. I left there feeling very relaxed and even now 3-1/2 hr later, I still feel relaxed and my legs are kind of like jello which is good! It was an enjoyable experience and I would definitely do it again and I know the second time would be a charm because it would not be a new experience. I only wish it was closer to home. Thanks, Geoff! May your business continue to prosper as you keep it affordable just so that you are able to help those who could benefit from it. God Bless! read more

I don't write reviews so for me to write this review it took an experience that had to be extraordinary, so here goes. I did some research into float tanks and like most people probably found Joe Rogans podcasts. I was skeptical, but I'm open minded. Dream float Hawaii is very easy to find, lots of parking and a beautiful view. Geoff is extremely friendly, calming and just has an awesome presence. I met Geoff while he was instructing a yoga class, and his class was my absolute favorite out of any yoga instructors, period. Now for the experience. I have ADHD and can't shut off my brain, so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to relax and get the full experience, however that was not the case. I was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep a couple times throughout the session. I also have chronic back pain and herniated discs. The float session immediately eased my pain while I was in there. It was an awesome experience which is different I'm sure for everyone, and hard to describe, visions, sensations... It was an absolutely wonderful experience and I will be a customer for life! I recommend everyone try this experience at least once. read more

From start to finish, this "float" was such a treat. From booking the appointment, to the email reminders, to the intake on-location, Geoff has created a smooth and enjoyable experience. I loved it and can't wait to book my next one! read more

After two floats I can easily give these guys 5 stars. The home/facility is beautiful, clean, and peaceful. I was made to feel like I could take my time, and go through the float experience however I needed to in order to feel comfortable. Jeff and Sean provide were easy to reach by phone and were very friendly and helpful. Jeff went above and beyond on my second float. The highway was shut down very close to where Dream Float Hawaii is due to a large fallen tree. Traffic was almost gridlock in the direction I was coming from. I could tell that if I kept sitting in the barely crawling traffic I wouldn't make my appointment on time so as soon as I could I parked on a side street and started walking the last mile to the location. I called Jeff to let him know about the highway shutdown, that I was walking, and that I was going to be late. He offered to drive down to the highway and shuttle me up the hill. He also shuttled me back down after. Awesome customer service! read more

I see that this business is categorized as a day spa but I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea when they see that. When I hear "day spa" I think of a place that has massage, spa, sauna and other pampering type of services and this place doesn't. Now that my disclaimer is out of the way... I first heard about a sensory deprivation chamber from my friend in Vegas. He explained that you float in water but I really couldn't understand the concept or why the heck anyone would want to go into a contraption, just to float. I get it now. This is located in a room in the back of a house up Laukahi Drive on your way to Hawaii Kai. I didn't really know what to expect, except to have no expectations and to clear my mind and see what floats in (pun intended!). Since I practice yoga regularly and feel I find my zen and clarity there, I was wondering if I would have an even higher sense of heightened spirituality and meditation. I text Geoff to let him know that I was running a little late due to traffic (never a good way to feel rushed to go and calm down!) and he said it was no problem. When I arrived, he was waiting for me outside and since I'm typically a person who's very prompt, I felt bad. But his warm smile and calm presence quickly put me at ease. Geoff explained the process of what needed to be done...you shower first, dry off and then head into the chamber completely the same as when you were born...naked. It's a private room so there's no need for modesty. He explains that you're welcome to leave the door open, close it if you wish and pretty much do whatever is in your comfort level. I first sat in it to get a feel for it and when I realized I would probably be fine, I closed the hatch and began to float. It was the COOLEST feeling! No fear of not floating or anything else but I can see how people with claustrophobia or anxiety might feel apprehensive. I'm all about using the power of your mind to release your fears so it would be a good way to challenge yourself, if you can. My problem...OCD. I would want to ensure I was floating perfectly centered in the tank so I would spread my arms out and bounce from left to right until I settled and do the same stretched out with my arms above my head and my toes pointed. I know...absolutely zero mental strength there. But once I felt centered...I cleared my mind and tried to meditate. I really didn't have anything I wanted to seek clarity about so it became a conversation of, "are my eyes open or closed?" with myself. I would open my eyes wide and blink hard to know that they were open. It was really neat! Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep and the music, to let you know time is up, came on. Out of the tank I went, a drop of water from my hair ran into my eye and it stung like a mutha! Geoff warned about this and keeps a bottle of regular water to rinse out your eye out so was fine shortly thereafter. Back into the shower I went to rinse and wash off the salty water to finish out my experience. Overall it was a really great experience and I can't wait to get my next float on! Thanks Geoff for bringing this to Hawaii! read more

Geoff was amazing and has a very calming spirit. The location is beautiful and the experience is out of this world.

I have caught the float bug! My hope is that floating becomes an integral part of my life. My experience at dream float is icing on the cake! A wonderful space and location with an incredible view of the ocean. The center is not too far from town, but just enough to escape the hustle and bustle for a little bit :) Geoff and Shawn are great folks, working hard manifesting their dreams, while providing the experience of floating to the people of Oahu. Their energy together with the energy of the space helps in setting up the experience there. Floating can be an experience of the mind, body and/or spirit, whichever you choose to explore. Mahalo dream float! read more

If you are looking for peace of mind and body, many levels of comfort, relaxation at its finest, and an incredible journey within this is place to do so! So grateful for the transcendental experience! Mahalo Dream Float! read more

This is such a wonderful serene place and Geoff (the owner) is amazing!! Also, he has a tall tank that has made all the difference for me - much easier if you're on the claustrophobic side:) read more

I've always felt that floating is the ideal way to feel rejuvenated, relaxed, and restored, but Dream Float Hawaii offers the ultimate float experience! From the location, to the views, to the serene ambiance, and the incredibly pleasant staff, they have created a peaceful place to unplug and de-stress. The tank is the perfect size and the environment was clean and beautiful. It was truly an amazing experience! read more

The perfect break from a busy life! Feeling waitlist in the water and and allowing the minds of quiet made me feel like I had a whole night sleep. Muscles finally relaxing, I even felt my stomach unclench from the busy-ness of life. Super grateful to have this indulgence! Mahalo nui Geoff read more

First time floater and it won't be the last! It was exactly what I needed from a stressful work week. It was at a beautiful location and the ambience was peaceful. The owner was so kind and helpful! I highly recommend floating to decompress from an overstimulating world! read more

My first float was a great experience. Everything was clean, comfortable and organized. Almost a spa like experience.

Amazing first float. Geoff explained how it all works. If you've never floated this is THE place to start (and come back to). Total Zen experience. I will be back soon read more

Had a lovely experience yesterday. Jeff was sweet and nice. Explained everything in detail. I felt 100% SUPPORTED in the float tank! Great way to "let go" of all the stuff weighing you down!!! read more

I had the best experience at Dream Float Hawaii. I had my 1st float on Monday March 14th, & I had a true spiritual awakening. I have Fibromyalgia & I was looking for something to help me since I can't tolerate massages anymore without a flare up. I was really taking a leap of faith by trying out Dream Float Hawaii. I was so Shocked at how fast my pain level went down after floating, I started at a level 7-8 pain level & afterwards I was down to a 1-2. That to me was a true miracle! There aren't a whole lot of treatments for people like myself for my Fibromyalgia because I'm allergic to 80-90% of the drug therapies out there. Dream Float Hawaii restored my faith that there is help out there for the Fibromyalgia Community. If you have Fibromyalgia I highly recommend going & having a session so you can see how much better your quality of life will be by reducing your everyday pain. Everyone has the right to feel pain free. I really want to just hug the staff for understanding me & my condition. Floating has also helped my insomnia that was getting out of control too. I think everyone should float & experience this awesome feeling of euphoria. You really feel like your floating in a cloud full of bliss & the most peaceful ambiance ever created here on Earth. The interesting thing to me was that time felt different in there to me. I fell into a deep meditative state that felt like the best rest I have ever received. The staff was so spectacular & on top of everything. I also had a wonderful time talking to them. The facility was extremely well taken care of & smelled so good. I loved that fact that they had crystals all around the place to balance out my energy & chakras. I'm into crystals & chakras & I loved that they already catered to that need of their clients. So a little more information about my experience, the tank is a nice size in a large room. There's a bench & on the shelves they have crystals & a Tibetan Singing bowl & on the walls there is some beautiful artwork. On the sensory deprivation chamber you can leave the door opened or close it. I left it open, & the lights dimmed down low. It is very quiet once you completely emerge yourself in the water, I really appreciated the earplugs that they gave me & then you hear your heartbeat. I can see how the deprivation chamber can remind many people of being a baby in the womb, with the heartbeat sound & the feeling of weightlessness, it is a powerful experience. By the way Don't rub your Eyes at all, it will burn from the amount of Epson salt in the water, but if you do get the salty water in your eyes they have provided & tiny bottle of regular water to rinse the eyes out & continue to enjoy your session. I splashed myself on accident in my eye. Now after your session is over, if you want you can sit & just take in the moment, & I would recommend standing outside & taking in that phenomenal view, it's like a beautiful panorama view of half the island and it's right there in your face oh so beautiful. In closing I really have fallen in love with the session & can't wait to get back in there next week. I humbly thank the team at Dream Float Hawaii, you are doing God's work here on Earth. Namaste my friends from Mojo!!! read more

1st time trying float ever. I experienced the serenely quiet float tank and a beautiful view to breathe in and out to over Hawaii Kai. This is a wonderful mini-day spa retreat away from the bustle of the malls, beaches, and traffic that make islanders tense. Mind and Body tranquillity are at Dream Float Hawaii. read more

I go here very often! The tank is clean and effective. The atmosphere is very zen-like! And they over-deliver with some nice green juice after your float to sip on and share your thoughts if you want to. Love it here! Go and Float! read more

If you're thinking about participating in sensory isolation stop thinking about it and just do it already! First I think it is important to try all non medical therapies it is usually better and less expensive. This was truly one of the most relaxing experiences in my entire life. Felt like I was being reborn at the end when I came out of the tank. You can schedule on their website but make sure to schedule about two weeks prior to the date you want as they fill up pretty fast I work during the week so I like to to stuff on the weekends to really enjoy it. After schedule they follow up with a call or at least they called me to confirm. you also get a follow up email giving you directions. I ended up going the day of the marathon so a bit of traffic but no big deal they were very accommodating. It is actually really easy to find and like they said there is ample street parking, as it is a residential area. Nice quiet with a great view in the back yard (not that it really matters since you'll be in the tank) I just think it's a nice touch. The only word that really comes to mine would be zen. Very peaceful and nice to look at. You don't get that a hole in the wall feeling. This was my first time and I was greeted by Sean I believe that was his name anyways. He was waiting for me outside with a friendly orange tabby by his side. I thought it was a nice touch lol. Sean directed me to the back where we enter a waiting room area if you have any questions he goes over everything from beginning to end. Very cal and relaxing very hippy meets Buddhist vibe. He shows you to the room where the tank is and explains the tank and that you shower before and after. They provide everything even petroleum jelly and ear plugs for the float! He leaves you to it. I forgot to put my ear plugs in and I still have water in my ear after two days lol my bad. Onto the experience itself. I chose to use the head flotation device just because I knew there was a chance of me falling asleep and i didn't know if my head would turn lol. I got in and I chose to close the door to the tank. I laid back and tried the different positions Sean suggested and I rally had a hard time at first I kept moving my mind was racing and about half way through (I'm guessing because I really lost track of the existence of time in there) I finally found my position. To sooth myself I first swished my head back and forth focusing on the sound it made and it helped me meditate and become one with my surrounding. Because the water is so warm you lose track of where your body ends and begins. So essentially you are a blob the only think that exists is your mind and during this time you gain control of that and you get closer to yourself and really focus on how you operate. By the end of it I honestly don't know if I was sleeping or if I was experiencing a new level or calm. I was in this state until I was gently woken up by the sound of music. I got out feeling refreshed. I took my shower gathered by belongings and met sean back on the couch where he had room temperature water and cold juice waiting for me. We chatted about the experience and then he said to hang out as long as I wanted. I finished my drinks he took my payment (I suggest paying before you get there online) then I left to go on about my life. They have really good plans that you should take up I'm going to get a plan. For $40 a month you can get one 90 minute float if you don't use it one month you can use it another month or transfer it to someone else. At lease that's my understanding(: All in all try it out!!!!!! read more

Phenomenal experience in an amazing environment. Professional, clean, loads of information provided and a Deeply relaxing experience. I look forward to my next session!! read more
