I had my first float at Oakland Floats the day after I ran my first marathon, and it was an excellent way to help both my body and my mind recover. Oakland Floats is quiet and peaceful, and Hannah answered every question about floating I didnt know I had, telling me tips and tricks to ensure I had a good time--put Vaseline on any small cuts on your fingers; be careful not to get the salt water in your eyes; if you do get salt in your eyes, use this solution; even different float techniques that people use! I really appreciated her taking the time to give me a thorough understanding of floating. I really feel like it allowed me to have a full experience!I had a really restful time, and really enjoyed the amenities. The earplugs in particular are very impressive and high quality. I got to just think about my running experience and do some creative brainstorming for a while. It was very peaceful and relaxing. I can see how people could fall asleep in here!My ankles felt so much better coming out than going in, and my skin feels super smooth today! Thanks Oakland Floats! :)

Loved my 1st time experience. Very relaxing and soothing for the mind and body. Definitely recommend and would go again!

I love Oakland floats. I had a subscription for a while so have a regular attendance now - prefer the tanks but their custom built chamber is cool, too. Staff I always super relaxed and I suggest reading the book on floating in the lobby. Also pay close attention to seal the ear plugs before getting wet at all - and if the water never touches your face it’s easier

Elegant, private, quiet. I had an incredible relaxing experience. my skin felt absolutely incredible. I slept better, and got much much needed inward/relaxing time.

An oasis in the middle of Oakland! A very interesting way to enjoy some peaceful quiet time, to relax and it feels very therapeutic for the mind and body. Facilities were clean and staff friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the sample of CBD honey before going in and appreciated they had a hair dryer I could use after! Float on friends~

I wasnt sure what to expect, but the staff always make me feel comfortable and answer my questions. Its clean and well maintained and a very relaxing and enjoyable space to visit.I recommend the float chambers instead of the tanks because you have a private shower in the room. However, Ive sometimes gotten cold in the float chambers and Im told the tanks tend to stay warmer since they are a smaller enclosed area.

Having never floated before I wasnt sure what to expect, but the staff was very helpful, answered all my questions and gave me a brief introduction of how things work. I started with the introductory 3 float package and have gone on to become a member. The facility is always clean, relaxing,and welcoming. If you have never floated before, I recommend it!

Go Warriors! Apparently the whole Warriors team floats so I thought I might check it out. I am super glad I did and I would encourage all to check out Oakland Floats. They are clean, organized, and provide and excellent experience for a beginner like myself. I will be going on a weekly basis for the next 6 weeks (bought a package) as they say it gets better every time! Cant wait!

My first floating experience was lovely. I wasnt sure what to expect and I was a little scared of the concept of a float tank but really curious so I went for it and im so happy I did.The staff was really friendly and the atmosphere feels very private and calm. Upon arrival they offer you tea and water and once its ready, they show you to your room. They ask you to take a shower before your float and then you can descend into the shallow depth of the float tank. From there on you just have to let the water do the work for you. It is so relaxing and healing. You just melt and let everything go. It is the best place to meditate and just plain relax. The water temperature is perfect and there are no distractions.You will get the best nights sleep after a float here. I plan on making this a regular part of my self care regimen.Highly recommend.

This was my first experience with a float tank, so I didnt really know what to expect. The staff took the time to show me around and explain the experience, so there was nothing to worry about. The private room was clean and very relaxing.The float itself did wonders for my sore muscles and back, and I got a great slept great that night!I definitely need to go to Oakland Floats on a regular basis.

Very calming space and amazing experience. The staff create a tranquil vibe, the rooms are clean, the ear bud things were the most effective sound blocking device Ive ever used and the infused water after the float tasted amazing. 10/10 stars, an Oakland gem.

I had an exceptionally positive and relaxing experience at Oakland Floats. Having never floated before, I appreciated receiving clear and detailed email communication and verbal instruction from the Oakland Floats staff prior to my session. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and private. The float itself was magical! I reached a state of deep, full-body relaxation, and I felt physically and emotionally lifted for days.

My experience at Oakland Floats was so incredible. Aimee was a great guide in helping me know what to expect and getting me ready for my first float experience. The facility is quite nice and all my needs were met. The float itself was so healing and relaxing!

Wonderful experience! The staff was so warm and friendly. They made me feel at home for my first float. Pleasant, relaxing and peaceful.

Living in Oakland you need to free your mind sometimes. And this is the place to do it. Awesome experience, I recommend you give it a try. Fun times but relaxing as well

Oakland floats is in my opinion the best floating experience that the Bay Area has to offer. The atmosphere is calming and inviting, just the type of space you’d like to be in before taking the voyage inside yourself. Wonderful employees ready to help accommodate you in any way on a moments notice. The rooms and tanks themselves are clean, neat, and orderly. The experience is one you need to have yourself, if you were interested I would recommend it 100 percent. The longer the better, empty stomach, and ready your calm mind. I have successfully learned to start to let go of my constant muscle tension and relax into the moment. Also they have great swag and supplements in the front!!

I recently visited this hip, relaxing experience and highly recommend it to others. I received it as a gift and didnt know much until I researched the benefits. Its definitely worth checking out! Do you like relaxing, calming experiences? Then this is for you! It really helped me clear my head and cleanse. Also, its right down the street from my favorite bagel shop, so I can see much more of this combo in my future.

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!! Try floating if youve never done it before and TRY IT HERE!! I am SO PLEASED with my experience. The place was very clean. The service was efficient, very kind and respectful, and they do a very good job at creating a calming atmosphere. They also were very good at easing any concerns I had and were patient with all my questions. And the float experience was INCREDIBLE!! Definitely plan on doing this again. Thank you OAKLAND FLOATS!!

I had a wonderful experience at Oakland Floats. It is hard to describe other than afterward, I felt the most relaxed I have in years. I slept like a baby every night the entire week - it was unreal. Try this place. The facilities are clean, the rooms are pretty quiet, and the atmosphere lends to the experience. I will certainly be going back.

Came in to buy a gift certificate for a relative as a X-mas gift. Staff was very inviting and calming. Ambiance was serene and peaceful my cousin gave me 👍👍 after attending her session.

I had an amazing experience floating ! Tnx to my friend who recommended this place ! I needed to relax after two weeks of moving to SF! Best way to destress and loosen the muscles. Also super clean... totally recommend this place

I absolutely love my time here. The facility is clean and the staff is friendly. I am a Massage Therapist and have also recommended many of my clients to Oakland Floats for stress management. Its so important for us to take the time to get out of our heads and just relax without any distractions, and in the technology world were living in, that can be hard to do. Oakland Floats is a great place to escape and let yourself have the peace and quiet that we all need to keep ourselves on a healthy path of mental health.

This was a great way to try floating without the fear of claustrophobia. Its not a pod that completely seals up but a giant bathtub with a sliding door like a shower. Would definitely recommend.

INCREDIBLE! I floated for the first time last week and I cant stop talking about it. After dealing with some life stresses, taking the time to fully relax and decompress what exactly what I needed. I left feeling like I was floating on a cloud. I look forward to my next float! :)

Great experience. The facilities were clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.

The people are awesome and have a nice chill vibe to go along with the environment.

A few weeks ago, I was offered an opportunity to experience the wonders of sensory Deprivation at Oakland Floats ! After she serenaded me with tea, a warm shower and my very own suit (all complimentary), she sat me down for an info session! The best part about that: it was short, sweet, and highly informative. Afterward, I floated freely in a salt water solution for about 75 minutes, and allowed any cares or worries within me to fade away! The prices are inexpensive, and geared toward helping any democratic reach zen mode, whenever! I even gifted a maternity float to a friend! Dae, thank you for putting me on to my new meditation space!

Hidden gem. If you care about self-care, Oakland Floats has you covered. I’ve done a float session, light therapy session and Normatec boot recovery session here. It’s a one stop shop for all my recovery and rejuvenation needs. A+ staff and experience!

This place is great. Simple and clean and not too much going on. The location is very great (walking distance from MAC Arthur bart. Arianne was great. Knowledge and pretty detailed for something so simple...She knew great places to eat at after words which was great.I like the chamber it has a lot more space than the tanks. I drank coffee before my float and could not relax but my legs felt much better and I slept so great

I had a great time. Floating is such a great stress reducer and look forward to going back. Everyone there is so friendly

Surreal experience! My senses turned off, my mind turned off, I fell into a deep sleep for about 20 minutes. The next day, I was more efficient in both my work and workout (xfit). The prices are reasonable, I bought the membership.

The sensory deprivation tanks are a surprisingly helpful way of shedding the built up tension, anxiety and stress of the day. I was able able to let go of my usual circular thought process and let my mind pay attention to issues that have been put on the back burner for too long. The lobby is very inviting and peaceful. The facilities were very clean and organized. I had the pleasure of being assisted by Deja who carefully explained the whole process and gave me some useful tips for having a successful first float. I will definitely be returning to Float in the near future and let the troubles of the day melt away.

My first float was really relaxing. The staff was very helpful and friendly, he did a great job walking me through everything I needed to know and we had a good conversation afterwards. The energy in the space is really nice. The facility was very clean and zen.

What a trip! I cant wait until my next float, I am so glad my friend recommending this place. I dont want to spoil the ending but my suggestion is, if you have ever wanted to have a really unique experience, book an appointment here asap. My mind is silent, the music in my heart stirs. Thank you!

Clean facilities and I feel like a million bucks! Upon walking in, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who took me through the float process. I was not sure what to ask and I felt comfortable after the walk through. The float was quiet and deeply relaxing. Actually, I think I fell asleep! I woke up feeling refreshed and in a peaceful meditative state. I was much more focused and task oriented at work.

Had my first float here last night and loved everything about it - the staff, the space, the experience. I highly recommend this place!

Best deal in the bay! Great healing tool for PTSD, love this place. The problem however is that it Ill ruin your hair so... I put two swim caps to keep mine dry. Problem solved. Thanks OF

I loved my float. Great price. I will definitely go again.

Its the only place Ive floated, but its always a good experience. It can be pretty pricey, but they will occasionally have deals like the last Wednesday of the month.Float tanks are generally seen as tight spaces, but Oakland floats has full shower size float rooms for the claustrophobic.

Wonderful, relaxing experience. Great way to destress. Highly recommend it!

Amazing facility (super clean, market-fair pricing), wonderful staff (both personable and profossional) who you can tell are there to be of service.But I give it three stars because ownership gives the impression of not only being hands off but non existent in an industry that would benefit from a personal touch. Also, Ive been a member for almost a year - which included paying monthly fees, despite the fact I didnt actually use the facility for about 6 months straight, and still got charged on a single occasion for a late cancellation...not a big deal, but again, no personal touch.I love the service Oakland Floats provides, but dont feel valued as a customer.

Floating was great & staff were friendly & helpful.

I have never been to Oakland floats before and I was scared at first, but Deja made the experience much better. I never thought I would do something like this and Im glad that I did. Nonetheless, Deja was extremely nice and a comforting staff member. I cant wait until I come again. Thank you for the hospitality and comfort!

Best deprivation of the world, perfect for relaxation and reset your body and brain.

Loved my float! Would go more often if I could.

You must try the Lucia Light! Whoa so trippy, never knew things like this existed. At first i was intrigued to float from a vice documentary now ive learned so much more about sensory deprivation

Great floating facility! Friendly staff, good pricing deals, float rooms and tanks, clean tanks, and a nice reception / lounge area.

Wonderful staff and a clean facility.

All an all a nuce place with nice folks.

This is where I find the Zen portion of my life

Imagine yourself in a womb with only the sound of your breath and your heartbeat. Its dark, warm, and wet—the perfect environment to relax, let go of the outside world, and to do deep thinking.

Exactly what you’re looking for in a float spa

Joe Rogans podcast made me want to experience a float tank and Oakland Floats Team will keep me coming back!
