Pure Bliss on the Water – Our Skuna Hot Tub Adventure in Canary Wharf

We recently had the absolute pleasure of experiencing one of London’s most unique and unexpectedly tranquil activities: the Skuna Hot Tub Boat in Canary Wharf. Without exaggeration, it was one of the most relaxing and memorable experiences we’ve had in the city - and a complete hidden gem that more people need to know about.

From the moment we arrived, the Skuna team made everything feel smooth and easy. The check-in process was friendly and efficient, and the staff clearly take safety and comfort seriously. After a quick change and a lighthearted safety briefing, we stepped into what can only be described as a floating spa dream - a wood-fired hot tub boat, bubbling away with warm, crystal-clear water, ready to drift us through London’s iconic Docklands.

As we pushed off from the dock, we immediately felt a shift in energy. The gentle movement of the boat, the warmth of the water, and the quiet of the open water combined to create a completely serene atmosphere. It's a strange and wonderful feeling to be floating through Canary Wharf - one of the busiest business districts in the UK - while relaxing in a steaming hot tub with friends, drinks, and laughter. The contrast between the modern skyline and the calm, spa-like setting was surreal and magical.

Highlights of our experience included:

• The stunning views of the glass skyscrapers reflecting in the water at golden hour.

• The peaceful sensation of drifting while totally immersed in warm water — it truly melts your stress away.

• The joy of doing something so out of the ordinary in the heart of the city - it felt like a mini vacation.

• Friendly waves and smiles from people on the docks and bridges - everyone was just as delighted by the sight as we were to be in it!

• Optional add-ons like Bluetooth speakers and drinks made the experience feel even more personalised and celebratory.

  
  

The boat was perfectly heated, spacious, and felt secure the whole time. The staff kept things light, fun, and stress-free, and we never once felt rushed. You can tell the team behind Skuna really care about creating a memorable and safe experience.

By the end of the hour, none of us wanted to leave. We felt lighter, happier, and more connected - and we couldn’t stop smiling. It’s rare to find something in London that manages to be relaxing, fun, photogenic, and genuinely novel, all at once. Skuna delivered on every front.

If you're looking for an unforgettable way to celebrate a birthday, enjoy a date, catch up with friends, or simply unwind after a busy week - do not miss Skuna Hot Tub. It’s pure joy on water, and without a doubt one of the most soothing and original experiences London has to offer.
