HOW DOES A MOBILE SAUNA RENTAL WORK?

First, we drop the sauna off on your start day, set it up, and walk you through proper use of the wood stove and sauna.
Then you get to enjoy your sauna experience with family and friends.
We pick it up at the end of your rental period.

WHERE DO YOU DELIVER?

Delivery is included for all rentals in and around Whitehorse.
There is a charge for locations farther outside Whitehorse. We charge $3/km for deliveries farther than:
  Carcross Cutoff (South Alaska Highway)
  Old Alaska Highway (North Alaska Highway)
  Horse Creek Road (North Klondike Highway)

​

The $3/km delivery charge includes drop off at the start of the rental, and pick up at the end of the rental.

​

For example, if we were to deliver the sauna 15kms past the Carcross Cutoff, the delivery surcharge for the entire rental would be $45.

We provide you with the firewood and a bucket with a ladle for the water. We will set the sauna up, show you how to use it, and pick it up. We do not provide other items such as towels, water and sandals.

You will need swimwear, a couple towels, sandals, and water access (as well as drinking water).
If available, access to 120V power outlet (for lights in the sauna).
