Floating Sauna & Fjord Dip – Oslo Fjord Garden Experience

Experience one of Oslo’s most popular urban wellness trends: floating saunas along the Oslo Fjord waterfront.

Experience one of Oslo’s most popular urban wellness trends: floating saunas along the Oslo Fjord waterfront. Whether in the heat of summer or the depths of winter, the combination of a warm sauna and a refreshing fjord dip is a uniquely Norwegian ritual. Several floating sauna operators around the city offer different styles and atmospheres — from social and lively to peaceful and scenic. Most saunas offer both pre-booked sessions and daily drop-in options, making it easy for visitors to join. Expect wood-fired heat, cold plunges straight into the fjord, and stunning views of Oslo’s skyline, islands, and harbour. In summer, the experience becomes even more social, with long evenings, swimming in milder waters, and relaxing on the deck between sauna rounds.

KOK’s floating sauna rafts accommodate up to 10 guests and offer a cozy wood-fired sauna experience all year round. When the fjord is ice-free, KOK also provides quiet sightseeing trips using an electric motor and solar panels, creating a peaceful, noise-free fjord cruise combined with sauna sessions.

Unique feature: Sauna + eco-friendly fjord sightseeing combination.
