Seattle's Unique Water Immersive Activities
Floatation therapy tanks- Flotation tanks are sensory deprivation chambers filled with body temperature waters containing epsom salt for added buoyancy. When in a sensory deprivation tank it’s normal to feel like you have no grasp of time or weight and because you have no light or sound as distractions it’s natural to fall into a meditative state quite effortlessly. There are several different float therapy companies to choose from in Seattle so you can choose a company you would like to float with based on their reviews, mission statement, or location.
Benefits-There are many connected health benefits to partaking in these sessions which include anxiety relief, suppressed insomnia, pain relief.
Parasail Seattle- If you find yourself needing to cool off this summer perhaps parasailing above the refreshing waters of the Puget Sound amongst the striking views of the Seattle Skyline sounds like a breezy solution. Take off and landing take place in the boat using a hydraulic winch system. If you want to get your toes wet you can let your captain know and they will maneuver it for you. You get about an hour of boating including about 8-10 minutes of gliding airtime. Apparently even people with fears of heights reviewed this to be very enjoyable and in their comfort zone.
Triad River Tours- Get out rafting on the Skagit, Sauk, Snoqualmie, or Skykomish river for some riveting white water adventures.

Alki Beach- If you’re coming from downtown Seattle you could enjoy taking a quick water taxi to this adored beach. Rent a bike, visit a nearby cafe, go for a swim, or walk along the shoreline and enjoy the views, you are the master of your own destiny. There are even whispers about being able to see the bioluminescence here in the late summer. To experience the beauty of glowing algae, you’ll need to wait till night time and then splash around in the water to activate their glowing mechanisms. The window for this phenomenon is brief but adds to its beauty and wonder.
Snoqualmie Falls- This sacred 270 foot waterfall attracts tourists from far and wide. There’s an observation deck close to the Salish lodge or trails if you would like to hike towards the bottom of the falls. Plans to completely commercialize the falls and expand irresponsible development were halted thanks to the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe. Thanks to the Snoqualmie tribes’ efforts for protecting their land and its resources we can all enjoy nature more genuinely and in harmony.
