Haar’s eight-person wood-fired barrel sauna tours Shetland, and Whalsay is its regular island stop. It parks by Brough Beach, so you can walk into the sea between rounds. Getting there means the short ferry from Laxo on the Shetland mainland to Symbister. Community and private sessions are bookable online, and there are no changing facilities, so arrive in swimwear.
