It's a rite of passage and much-loved tradition for workers in Antarctica to plunge themselves into the freezing waters of the Southern Ocean (watch a great video about it here). Of course, it doesn't hurt if you've got a sauna on hand to run straight into after emerging from the icy waters.
Join us at Hobartica to enjoy a series of salt water cold plunges, set at a range of "colds" from positively Antarctic to balmy 2050 predicted sea water temperatures. Then warm up in steamy, wood-fired tent saunas designed by local Finnish artist Nanna Bayer and crafted by Tassie artisans.
Brave the zero-degree plunge, and you'll earn a highly coveted, limited edition badge designed by local artist Kat Scarlet. Book an entire tent sauna for up to seven people, or an individual spot. After your session, spend some time kicking back in the chill-out yurt and then enjoy the rest of what Hobartica has to offer.
PLEASE NOTE: Cold water immersion is not recommended for people with heart or circulatory conditions. If you have any concerns about exposure to cold water or saunas based on your individual conditions or medications, always check with your doctor first.
