We'd never heard of floating before and after reading up, knew that we'd have to give this a shot. The folks there are super nice, very laid back. It was relaxing, to say the least, and we'd have done it again if we were there longer. Book the late nights for a chance of staying in longer. I did the... More

Float On was one of the main reasons my daughter & I went to Portland and we weren't disappointed. We booked the Ocean Room tanks which are large and not as claustrophobic as I imagine the regular tanks to be. I wasn't sure what to expect, but once I started floating and turned off my racing thoughts, it was very... More

All around BAD experience. I'm deep into meditation being a full time martial arts instructor, however my experience with float on was anything but relaxing or meditative. Inside the tank is hard to breathe, the tank was so small I kept hitting the hard interior walls, and the room the tank is in looks like a dirty bath house. So... More

I have fibromyalgia and for the first time since I can remember all of my muscles were relaxed. I cannot explain how wonderfully serene the whole experience was. The best part is that it lasted for a couple days after the float. The guys that work at Float On are awesome, the tanks are wonderful. I highly recommend this to... More

My son who attends PSU regularly goes to relax. He had our family try it. The experience is worth it. Talk to the staff. They are characters.

This was as great as the reviews I've read. I had never heard of floating before and when I came across it in the Things To Do in Portland section, it sounded worth a try. It was! While it did take some getting used to, I got the hang of it and was about as relaxed as I am after... More

We thought this sounded really interesting so we gave it a try. It was very relaxing and the staff very helpful. I wish we had a place like this closer to home!

Okay, so it's kind of nothing like being in the ocean but my experience at Float On was just as relaxing and without the sunburn. There are four total tanks with two different sizes. One is short and wide and the other is tall and a bit narrower. I chose the tall tank for claustrophobic reasons and never felt too... More

I would really recommend trying out the float tanks if you are in Portland. My husband and I both went for a 90 minute float in the room tanks before lunch and felt relaxed the whole day, and slept very well that night. I would go back often if I lived closer!

First time floater but will start searching out float places! Very relaxing and the time goes by quickly. This place has a great staff and I had the ocean tank and loved it! The place is clean and they know what they are doing! Don't miss doing this!
