About Elevated Tides Floating Sauna
Elevated Tides Floating Sauna is Portland's first floating sauna experience, located at 173 NE Bridgeton Road in the Bridgeton neighborhood on the Columbia River — just two miles east of the I-5 Bridge. Operated in partnership with Elevated Tides Marina, the floating sauna experience is branded as Ebb & Ember and represents a genuinely unique wellness proposition in the Pacific Northwest: a beautifully crafted cedar sauna mounted on a floating dock, surrounded by the living river, with a wrap-around deck for cold plunge access directly into the Columbia. The sauna itself is constructed from premium cedar with a spacious interior that heats quickly to an authentic, deep sweat temperature. The signature experience combines the intense sauna heat with the exhilarating shock of plunging into the river, followed by relaxation on the rooftop deck with panoramic views of the marina, the city skyline, and on clear days, the distant peak of Mount Hood. Sessions run approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes and are bookable for solo guests or small groups, with pricing starting around $49 to $55 per person. Demand has been exceptionally strong since opening, with sessions regularly selling out and some guests requesting a monthly membership model to secure recurring access. Elevated Tides Floating Sauna holds a 5.0-star rating on Google from its initial cohort of reviewers, a reflection of the extraordinary nature of the experience and the stunning natural setting. For those seeking an outdoor sauna adventure that connects heat, water, and the natural splendor of the Pacific Northwest, there is simply nothing else like it in Portland.
