# Float Culture

> Auckland's first float tank centre — floatation therapy, Fire & Ice contrast therapy (sauna + cold plunge) and massage at 12 Water St, Grafton, Auckland 1023, New Zealand. Open Monday and Wednesday to Friday 10am-7.30pm, weekends 8am-9pm; closed Tuesdays. Phone +64 9 281 4648. Bookings at https://momence.com/m/27618.

Float Culture has run float tanks in the same Grafton rooms for over a decade. Sessions are 60 minutes. The water is saturated with around 500kg of Epsom salt and held at body temperature, so you float effortlessly in the dark and the nervous system down-shifts from fight-or-flight into rest.
