Erlebnisdusche

English translation: tropical shower

German term or phrase: Erlebnisdusche
Dies ist eine Übersetzung über Dampfbäder, Raumbeduftung, etc.
Die Erlebnisdusche erweckt das Gefühl, unter tropischen Wasserfall zu stehen, hat Beleuchtungen in verschiedenen Farben und einen mystischen Nebel.

Weiss hier jemand ein passendes Wort? Ich dachte eher an "fun-shower", oder "adventure-shower", aber das scheint alles nicht so richtig zu passen. Bin dankbar für jegliche Hilfe.

English translation:tropical shower
Explanation:
Honestly, there should be a law against German copywriters overusing the word "Erlebnis" ...

In my opinion, if you want to have a translation which doesn't sound like a translation from German or laughably over the top, you should rename the object in question after its main feature, in this case - I presume - the feeling of standing under tropical waterfall: "tropical shower"
