This was my first time float. The staff was extremely helpful in explaining everything I needed to know. Thanks for that! You don't know what to expect the first time and being prepared helped alot. The place is very clean and I highly recommend it. Very relaxing. read more

Awesome all around. Ive floated in other places in Los Angeles and the Bay area but it was my first float in OC. And it was awesome . The tanks were clean, the shower was clean and warm and the amenities to wash yourself was great too. What more can you expect ? Clean, quiet, friendly :) thumbs up ! read more

The day to day work and life grind really catches up to you and this place literally washes it away!! No hangovers required! I highly encourage anyone who needs time to not only relax your body but your mind to come to Float Therapy! Owner is super nice, very knowledge and attentive. Family own business and you can tell by his dedication. I will be recommending this place to anyone with a heartbeat! read more

Had my first float here about a month ago. It was a great experience. If you've been interested in floating but are hesitant or scared because you're unsure of how it works. Fear not! This place will provide a great first time float experience. The staff is friendly and will show you / tell you everything you need to know and you'll be off floating in just a few minutes. As far as my experience - it was a bit hard to get comfortable at first, but after about 30 minutes my mind really started to relax and the the experience became very enjoyable and recharging. A couple tips - bring ear plugs. Preferably the wax kind used by swimmers. They provide you with some, but they aren't the good kind that keep water from getting in your ears. Also, plan on having a few minutes to just chill after to digest your experience. It can be shocking going straight from a tank to the noisy busy world outside. Give yourself a few minutes to just relax and soak up the calm of the experience. Happy floating! read more

Trinity made my first experience here great! She was so friendly and warm. Made me feel right at ease.

This is hands-down a magical place! A true hidden gem that everybody should know of to better their mental health!

Andrew is amazing! This place is a legit, hard core float PTSD removal place. While I was in the tank/metal box I somehow flipped around- it's pitch black inside. Because I am a seasoned meditator, calm and present I was able to feel my way around for the door. For a split second I was fully disoriented- it was a mind fk. I fell asleep is how magical this float was. The entire experince deserves mega stars read more

I have been thinking about trying floating for a long time, after much back and forth with myself I decided to give it a go. Booking the appointment was a breeze and the girl at the front desk when I arrived was very nice and helpful. The ambiance of the front was very nice and my room was ready early so that was great since I showed up a bit early. The actual float was a good experience, as a first timer I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by it. The tank was nice, I was worried I would feel claustrophobic but the little floating light they provide if you want it was perfect. I don't think I'd have an issue with the complete dark in the future. I wasn't able to fully relax most of the time but I think next time it would be a lot easier to do so. The reason for the 3 stars instead of 5 was because of the shower head. To say it was janky would kind of be an understatement. The shower head was a rain one mounted on the ceiling. It was coming apart and was clamped together poorly to make it "useable" I put useable in quotation marks because it really was not very useable at all. I've attached a photo so you can get a feel for what I am talking about. I was a little put off by the rust on it also but I attribute a lot of that to the salty environment of the room. The clamps that were holding the whole thing together were not very effective and water just mostly shot out the sides so there was not a real rain kind of experience. Showering off was an adventure trying to get under the path of the random water coming out the sides by the clamps. I made it work but did have to shower again when I got home. It was kind of a bummer way to end an otherwise nice experience. I will definitely try floating again but I'm just not sure it would be here. read more

Newport Float Therapy - Float Spa Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

One of the most amazing experiences of my life. Edgar is the coolest person and gives the best attention and tour of everything. He did a pineal gland thing on me which was so trippy and mind blowing, I highly recommend it. You feel so good afterwards. You can feel your system circulating in your body. Places that are achy will ache slightly but then feel better after. It feels like floating in space. Don't use the light unless you freak out but then try to turn it back off when you can to get the full experience. Just when you think you are relaxed you drop more and more into relaxing. Let your head and neck go, it won't sink because there is no gravity. The second time will probably be even better. read more

I originally found this place because of the Pandora Light, but also added a float session while visiting from out of town. The PL was so fascinating as per the owner, your brain creates the colors while you lay down with your eyes closed. It's an experience you have to try to understand. With all that colorful light my brain was creating, I actually dozed off a few times. I did 1 hour session of the PL and 1 of the complete immersion afterwards. I am completely rejuvenated. Also, the owner is really very nice and has experienced both of those himself so he's very knowledgeable about what you can do. I definitely recommend it highly if you are looking for complete relaxation. I will come again the next time I'm in town for a conference. read more

I loved this place. For being a floating spa, the tanks are actually nice and don't feel like you're inside a creepy metal entrapment. It was really relaxing. There were no hidden fees, which I appreciated. I went when I was 6 months pregnant and having difficulty sleeping because of the back and joint pain, and walked out feeling light and refreshed. I waited too long to re-book because now I can't imagine getting in & out if the tank at 8 months, so I'll have to wait to return. read more

I went for the first time this morning before work. I did 60 minutes because I thought the 90 minutes would be too much for me, a first timer. But the 60 minutes went by way faster than I thought. The whole time in the tank was a trip!......I thought my mind would be racing, but it was completely shut off most of the time. It was a great way to start my morning and actively focus on my life and goals. I really want to improve my meditation skills, so I'm excited to go back many times. Ron, the owner is awesome!! Talk about a cool guy! And very dedicated to his business, and for every person to have the best possible experience. He really takes pride in the whole process. I'm very glad that I was told to try it, and I'm very glad that I chose Newport Float Therapy. read more

My boyfriend and I just got done with a float therapy. It was such a great and relaxing experience, this was both our first time and have plans on returning to this location. Edgar, the gentleman that helped us was SUPER informative with everything, answered all of our questions. We also asked about their pandora star session, and was kind enough to give us free session. We were there for a while just learning about everything they have to offer. We had a lot of questions but He was very helpful and patient. Looking forward to our next visit read more

I've been coming here for a few months now and every time I do, it's a pleasant experience. Being a family owned businessman, Ron, the owner, goes out of his way to make sure you're taken care of and you're as relaxed as can be for your float. Support small businesses! Especially when they're as great as this one! read more

Love this place. The owner and staff are super chill and I always feel amazing after floats. Highly recommend checking this place out -- it might become your home away from home ;) read more

Newport Float Therapy is the best in the business! Super clean tanks, friendly and knowledgeable staff, very relaxing atmosphere. I have been to many other float facilities and this one is by far my favorite. Would definitely recommend to others and will be back again soon:) read more

Unbelievable experience!! Life Changer. First time floater, but definitely not the last. 60 min of sensory deprivation completely restarted my nervous system and elevated my parasympathetic system to a whole 'nother level. I can't stop telling family and friends about this. This is SO needed for the overloaded technological world that we live in. Complete reboot. Thank you! read more

If you're reading this, you most likely already know what it's about: 2 float/isolation/sensory deprivation tanks, 90 minute sessions, relaxation, meditation, perhaps even some border-line psychedelic experiences. Here's some tips/heads-ups: - Don't shave for at least a day or two before your float (remember: there's several hundred pounds of salt in the water). - Don't bother bringing your swimsuit. You'll be doing this nekkid! - If you're a new client, take advantage of one of their introductory offers from Groupon or directly on the website. - Earplugs are provided. - You'll be taking a quick shower/rinse before and after. - The tank is quite large (wide, deep, and very tall). It won't make you claustrophobic. I'm 6'2", and I can fully stand up inside, and lay down without my head, toes, or fingers touching the edges. - At the end of your 90 minute session, they'll play some soft nature music to wake you up. - You WILL lose track of time! Do you NEED to float? Probably not. Should you give it a try some time? Absolutely! read more

Newport Float. Wow I don't really know where to start. Let start with my first experience floating. I was a little nervous. I didn't know what to expect. Friends, family, and coworkers were whispering in my ears what ifs....what if you drown, what if you get claustrophobic, what if something scary comes out the water, what if you get locked in, and the list goes on and on. I booked a 90min for my first time. It was long. Felt like weeks. All those thoughts I mentioned above crossed my mind when I was in the tank. There were a few times I cracked opened the door. I'm not gonna lie. And there were plenty of times I just wanted to get up and run. But I didn't. Instead I let all those negative thoughts drowned and float out of my head. I drifted off a few times. When I came out, I felt like a new person. Like someone just hit the reset button on me. Now I been going 4-5 times a week. Every experience after the first time gets better and better. You don't know how much stress, tension and worries you have until you float. When it's gone, you'll be amazed. That's I I keep coming back. Advice. Combine your float with the Pandora Star Light therapy. Staff is nice. Environment clean. Owner is awesome. Totally worth it. Recommend to your friends and family. read more

Super Friendly staff!! I always receive fantastic customer service, the staff strives to welcome everyone by their 1st name and ensure that each room is stocked with so many personal organic amenities!! The body is heavenly and each room is so spacious! If you are looking to try something different a great way to relax, heal and have an hour all to yourself.........Newport Float Therapy will allow you to escape the daily grind for an hour or 2 if you want to try the Sauna or Meditation room!! read more

In August, I booked two 90-minute float sessions at Newport Float Therapy; one for me and one for my husband. I had been diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder two years ago and have been struggling with it and depression for decades. I've been on so many medications that I've lost count. My husband and I hoped that floating would allow me to un-plug from the seemingly constant influx of stimuli and digital information and grant me much needed peace and quiet. After our experiences, we signed up for the highest level of membership available, without hesitation. A stellar perk is the ability to "share" my membership with my family and friends, meaning they can float for free under my account. Totally a no-brainer. I visit Newport Float Therapy weekly and would on a more frequent basis, if I lived closer. I drive approximately an hour each way for my Float Therapy Sessions. I whole-heartedly believe that if I could float 2-3 times each week that I would have no need for my anti-anxiety medications and I've shared this with my psychiatrist. My doctor is going to go float at NFT, because of what I've shared and his research into the float therapy. Newport Float Therapy's ambiance is subtly lit, warm, welcoming, and exceptionally clean. Ron and his staff are client-oriented, making certain that every need is attended to. Personally, I request that my water is heated a degree or two above what is standard. They are also especially courteous regarding booking changes and cancellations. I've introduced many friends and family to NFT, including my legally blind mom, my disabled mother-in-law, my 14 year - old daughter and her friends, as well as a friend who is claustrophobic. Due to Ron and his staff's attention to individual need, everyone has experienced peace and rejuvenation in a safe and comfortable environment. Each has said that they wished we lived closer so that their minds and bodies could rest so well on a regular basis. We've also all enjoyed our Pandora Star Machine sessions. Though two people can share the session, receiving identical sound and light input, they will experience the session entirely differently. In my experience, at least. It's intriguing to me how uniquely our brains process the information. For me, floating before a Pandora Star session is ideal. I've experienced it both ways, but I believe that due to my anxiety disorder that any stimuli before floating creates too much activity in my mind. I've yet to try the infra-red sauna, but that's definitely on my list as I've read great things about it. In my experience, Newport Float Therapy is the epitome of what I'd like for my float sessions. I'm blessed beyond measure to be able to un-plug from life's constant stream of information and stimulation to allow my mind and body to heal in such a clean and positive environment. Thank you, Ron and your stellar team! read more

Very interesting experience to say the least! Got a groupon deal at the recommendation of a good friend. I went in for a 90min float session. It was very easy to make an appointment. On the day of my session, we were given very clear instructions on how to float and how to use the float tank, it was good especially for me a first timer. I really like the concept and enjoyed the first 45 min of my session, then I had to go to the bathroom and lost my concentration after that, and the 2nd half of my session was tedious and I probably got no benefit out of it. There's currently a package deal promotion going, I definitely recommend! read more

***Best when read with Madonna's "Open Your Heart" playing in the background.*** Like many others who've had a positive experience at NFT, I was quite pleased with the business Ron is running. I've been wanting to do this for months and the opportunity presented itself. I suggest calling in for an appointment, it's getting pretty busy. I came it at 11:45 am for my 12 pm appointment, Ron was busy prepping the room. I signed a waiver, waited at the comfy lounge area then given a brief tour of the UV and Ozone treatment system. Very clean, just how I like my magnesium sulfite. Next, I was taken to the room to first inspect the shower area and was told of the organic soap, shampoo and towels as well as the rack that had earplugs. I highly encourage the ear plugs. Digging Epsom salt out of your ears is a gritty chore unless you're in the first grade and finding it is a treat. After the general talking points were given and a quick rinse, I hopped into the tank. It was a warm, dark transcendental womb. I felt like I was turning in circles one way then the other. (It may be a different experience for you.) After 10 minutes or so, I was dipping in and out of consciousness. I caught myself waking from a dream laughing. When I heard the music playing, I knew the 90 minutes were up. Btw, 90 minutes is quite generous for the price--consider others charge for 1 hour only. I didn't want to leave or maybe I just wasn't ready. The mental clarity I gained instantly was welcomed. I've meditated before but this was a more conducive way of producing theta brainwaves with little effort. Even hours after the treatment, I feel positive, relaxed and tranquil. My body feels relief it hasn't had in a while. I've scheduled another session on New Year's Day. Ron told me about referrals, which I'm more than happy to do. I think the co-workers need it. If you're claustrophobic, afraid of the dark, scared of trying new things, don't support small businesses, you mind your own business too much or whatever medical conditions that may interfere with flotation therapy then don't try it. Research, ask questions (Ron is quite knowledgeable) and give yourself time before committing to something that may be beneficially life altering. I'm an aspiring writer and the mental clarity I mentioned earlier is helping me unlock creativity to put some great ideas down for my book project. Cheers! read more

"They" recommended giving floating at least 3 tries to allow yourself to get used to the experience for maximum benefit. If I had reviewed this business after my first visit, I would have given customer service 5 stars; but overall float experience was a 4. I was booked in what turned out to be one of their smaller rooms, and at 5' 9.5" inches, bumping into the walls of the tank wasn't as relaxing as I had hoped. My second visit, customer service was still a 5, and my float in their largest back room was still a 4; but only because the particular little bench provided in the room at the time was pretty flimsy, which made getting dressed again difficult. Unfortunately my third experience was horrible both customer service and the float. The door to the business was wide open, which wouldn't have matter except it was pretty cold outside and I was booked in the first front room, which also had both the door to the room and the door to the tank wide open. After closing the door to the room, I discovered a used wet towel hanging on the back of the door. I should have just left immediately. But I had been looking forward to the float all morning, so after asking the employee working to remove it. I proceeded with getting undressed, showering in preparation for my float. Given the temperature of the room it wasn't the best experience; and once I got in to float tank, it got worse. The air in the tank was cold and the water in the tank didn't feel warm enough. After less than 5 minutes, I was covered in goose bumps. It was a horrible experience. I had to get out to warm up in the shower. When I complained to the employee, he didn't apologize for the dirty towel or the cold tank and tank room, he explained to me that in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with my float tank or room temperature, that I was just having a bad day! When I told him it wasn't my first float, that I've had good floats in warm rooms with warm tanks, so I know the difference between good experience and a bad one, he smirked as he dismissed me with "you've only been here twice". Thanks. I definitely won't be back and can't recommend this facility. read more

I recently found Newport Float Therapy as I was in the area this weekend and was looking for a place that had Infrared Saunas! I don't live far just in Irvine but happened to be in Newport / Costa Mesa running errands. The staff member who helped was super friendly and incredibly helpful and genuinely kind. Their facilities are immaculately clean and it was really nice to have a whole room to myself. I have yet to do the float but I've heard great things. I will be back! Thank you for a wonderful experience read more

One of my precious clients offered me a gift card to try this experience out two months back. Ron, the owner, greeted me as I entered, was very helpful the info​ and walked me through the procedures from start to end. Ron is truly in it to help his customers/clients in receiving the best service and experience as possible at NFT. The facility is very clean, quiet and well-kept. It's like a hotel in stay in itself but in water. I was fatigued​ from the long work day and had a few hours to decompress. After one 60-minute session, I was able to enter a natural state sleep and felt rejuvenated​ and relaxed for the evening. The experience was so amazing that I had to bring a friend on my second session. Thank you,​ Ron and the NFT team! Highly recommended! read more

If you're looking for a place to relax and meditate, come to this place! Clean, quiet and staff are accommodating. I'll definitely come back here when I get a chance to come home to OC. Call ahead of time to make an appointment! read more

Newport Float Therapy - Float Spa Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Ron and Edgar did an amazing job walking me through my first experience with float therapy. At first it was pretty difficult to focus due to my ADHD. Once I was able to take some deep breaths and relax, I was then able to truly enjoy my experience. My mood and my body felt relaxed as soon as I exit the deprivation chamber. I highly recommend it! read more

I have been meaning to write a review for this place for quite sometime. I had my second session just the other week, and like the last two times I can not wait for my next experience. Ron ensured me that they use a high quality filtration system so you can rest assure that you will have both a hygienic and comfortable experience. For anyone who is curious or interested in sensory deprivation, I highly recommend Newport Float Therapy. read more

Newport Float Therapy - Here I go again. Chamber door. - Float Spa Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I tried it because my Reiki student and her boyfriend tried it. They went to the pod place, I didn't know the difference when I googled floating in my area. Newport Float came up, I thought it was where they went, and it turned out to be a lucky accident. I was a little nervous at first, with 'sensory deprivation'. But I found that wasn't the case at all--I could feel the water, the floating, and was actually more aware of other experiences of 'BEING' once the distractions were taken away with the darkness and silence. I am not claustrophobic. I meditate daily. I enjoy yoga. So this was a total plus for me to experience this kind of therapy session. To be honest the first session I was a little bored, but when I got out I totally felt the result. It's like having a massage without someone working on you. You feel that relaxed and calm. Although I'm a Reiki master/teacher, I also work in the Operating Room. I know a thing or two about what is clean and what is not. Ron's place is top-of-the-line clean. I'm a Chemical Engineer by training, and Chris S. is right on with his assessment that this is the real thing with industrial class filters, UV disinfection, and chemical monitoring. I don't want to float in somebody else's pee or catch their germs. That is why I feel safe going to Newport Float. If you go you will experience the regenerative essence of yin energy--darkness, soothing, security. This will help to balance the yang of 'go! go! go!' which is overwhelming in our society. It will also give you a chance to get in touch with you, the eternal YOU, your soul essence that is left when everything else is put on hold for a session. That's a good thing. You truly are your own best friend, and as the saying goes, this is the only thing you can 'take with you' so you might as well experience it, right? Besides, for someone like me, who is takes call and works irregular hours--being away from 'MOM!' or the cell phone or work is absolutely cherished BLISS! Thank you Ron for changing lives. Aloha and Mahalos, Namaste, Peace, Carla read more

My visit to Newport Float Therapy was my first experience with a sensory deprivation tank, and it was amazing! After just floating and relaxing for about 30 minutes, I slipped into a dream-like state that was really like nothing I had experienced before. By the end of the 90 minutes, I had completely forgotten what it felt like to move my fingers, and I felt rejuvenated. I would definitely recommend this experience to others. My only slight criticism is that the salt was pretty tough to get off, and the organic liquid soap provided didn't really do the trick for me. The soap was pretty watery in texture. It probably would have been better if wash rags were provided; that would have allowed some method of scrubbing the salt off. However, with only the soap and my hands for washing, I ended up walking out of there with big white salt blotches all over my body. But, this is a really minor complaint; if you schedule your float so that you have nothing to do afterwards, it is easy to just go home and take a shower if you experience the difficulties that I had. read more

I got a groupon for Newport Float. For one float it was less than $40? The facility itself was really clean. We got a little tour of the place and we got to see how everything worked. It was a really relaxing experience. I fell asleep and didn't know until I woke up lol I came out of the tank super calm and relaxed. The water (I felt like towards the end) was getting a little chilly. I felt at my feet was a heater cause it was warmer there. THOSE WHO GET A CRACKLE SOUND IN YOUR EAR(S) AFTER THE FLOAT: It's just the salt in the ear that has dried up. Grab some water and warm it up in the microwave and grab a tablespoon of that hot water. Grab hydrogen peroxide less than 3% and get an equal part (1 table spoon) since the water is hot and the hydrogen peroxide is at room temp, it should be a good warm combo when mixed. Let it sit in your ear for a minute (I didn't have an ear dropper so I had a cotton ball and dripped it in, about 3 drops is what I was aiming for but it just was a stream so after 5 minutes I tilted my head and did the other side.) It should settle that salt crackle in the ear. read more

The guy was super nice but the rooms were kind of ghetto. They do have decent quality shampoo and soap. Using a swimmers cap does not keep your hair from getting wet. I didn't want to get it wet because it was recently colored. It's like getting into a dark fridge like room with about 4" it salt water and you just lay there for 90 minuets. Cool experience but I don't think I'd go back. I didn't know to wear ear plugs so I had salt in my ears for weeks. It's also pitch dark. There's a ball light up thing you can bring in with you. But after 30 minutes I just started feeling anxious. There's no music or anything. I mean maybe it's relaxing for some people but not really my thing. Maybe if I could listen to music while laying there it would be more relaxing? Spa like? read more

I came in 15 minutes late and Ron was more than accommodating. In fact, he extended my session by an additional 45 minutes because they had an extra slot availability. The experience was awesome and I love the showers that hang over head. Great staff, facilities are A1 too. Thank you for that Ron! read more

I cant say enough good things about NPF. Their staff is superbly helpful and friendly and Ron will take his time to explain all of the details of a float and what makes it so healthy for the body. I am a fan of relaxing as well as pushing my consciousness ... and although I've begun meditating as well ... 90 minutes in the float tank is like a meditation rocket ride. I can clear my head and get into a relax state far quicker inside the tank than with a traditional seated meditation. With the addition of the epsom salt, I leave the tank feeling not just relaxed, but cleansed and refreshed as well. Overall fantastic experience with a great staff. read more

Float Therapy is such a great way to regulate your mind, body, and soul. Highly recommend.

Interesting experience. Clean place, super friendly staff. I personally wish there was an option for music although I know most people come for the purpose of deprivation. I was hoping to meditate but the silence only makes my mind go all over the place the entire time and it's harder for me to get in a zone. However, it was still a cool experience. My brother does this all the time and loves it. It's also probably good for anyone with tight muscles, it definitely relaxes them. read more

I bought the groupon which was recommended by a friend. I have stress issues and thought this would be relaxing and a way to recharge. The place is really clean and nicely decorated with a friendly staff. I went a total of 2 times and over all liked it. I found it really difficult to slow my mind down in order to truly benefit however I'm sure just like meditation it comes with practice. The staff takes you through their sterilization process and actually show you how it's done which was comforting. I recommend this to anyone who is able to zen their mind or have patience with oneself. read more

I'd been going here for a couple years now simply due to the fact that you can't replicate the experience anywhere else. It's super relaxing for the mind and the body. On top of clean facilities, the customer service is always on point. Shoutout to my guy Abdon for always making my experience beneficial at NFT! read more
