If you’ve ever dreamed of unwinding in a wood-fired sauna while surrounded by the dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters of Gros Morne National Park, there’s a brand-new experience in Newfoundland that’s about to land on your bucket list.
Driftwood Sauna has officially launched a floating wood-fired sauna on Bonne Bay, offering visitors the chance to enjoy a unique wellness experience unlike anything else in Atlantic Canada.
A Floating Sauna In The Heart Of Gros Morne
Anchored in Gadd’s Harbour, just across the water from Norris Point, Driftwood Sauna combines breathtaking scenery with the growing Scandinavian-inspired tradition of hot-and-cold contrast therapy.
Guests begin their visit with a short zodiac boat ride to the floating sauna, where they’ll spend 90 minutes cycling between the authentic wood-fired sauna and refreshing cold plunges directly into the pristine waters of Bonne Bay.
Surrounded by towering fjords, forests, and incredible wildlife, it’s an unforgettable way to experience one of Newfoundland’s most iconic landscapes.
What To Expect
Each 90-minute social sauna session includes:
- Round-trip boat transportation to the floating sauna
- Fresh towel service
- A traditional wood-fired sauna
- Cold plunges directly into Bonne Bay
- Access to the spacious floating dock to relax between sauna sessions
The floating platform accommodates up to eight guests, creating an intimate experience whether you’re visiting with friends or meeting fellow travellers.
A Wellness Experience With Unmatched Views
Unlike traditional spas, Driftwood Sauna places guests right on the water, offering panoramic views in every direction.
Whether you’re visiting after a day of hiking Gros Morne’s famous trails, kayaking the bay, or simply looking to slow down and reconnect with nature, the combination of wood-fired heat, cool ocean water, and stunning scenery makes for an unforgettable experience.
How Much Does It Cost?
Social sauna sessions are priced at $86.25 per person, including taxes.
Private bookings are also available for those looking to reserve the entire floating sauna for their group.
