What To Expect

Chena Hot Springs Resort

After wandering through the cool museum, don your bathing suit and enjoy the resort’s legendary namesake. The revitalizing mineral water soothes muscles with its warm temperatures of 106 degrees F (41 degrees C) year-round. You can also soak under the stars in an outdoor hot tub, or indoors in the heated pool. In between, slip away to the Aurora Café or the historic Resort Restaurant, where you can purchase meals, snacks, or beverages. When ready, join your expert guide for a small-group outing to view the Aurora Borealis. Your guide will lead you through one of the best places on earth to witness the green and purple illuminations loop across the night sky. Wait and witness the celestial wonder with hot beverages in the late evening, when viewing opportunities are the highest. The lights are also visible inside the cafe's Aurora Room, which serves as a comfortable and warm location for viewings. Note: We can never guarantee the Northern lights sighting.

Amazing! Bob was a great guide, he was so knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel at home right away! When we got to the resort, we got a tour of the ice museum, dinner at the restaurant and then chilled in the hot springs, definitely worth it in the winter. The best part was taking a little hike away from the lodge to see the Northern Lights. They were spectacular! We were blown away by the lights, even our guide said we got a great show! Would definitely recommend this trip

Trip was very fun, Our tour guide, Bob picked us up from our airbnb and drove us town to the chena hot springs. Bob was super nice and friendly with loads of local info about the area. Chatted us up the whole drive. And even stopped for us for a little bit when he spotted moose and a lynx around the road. This tour came with passes for both the hot springs and ice sculpture museum. Both super awesome. The hot springs especially was amazing. Felt super nice to run through the freezing night right into the warmth of the water! As for the aurora, unfortunately, we didn't get lucky. One thing to know is that Its not a guarantee you'll see the lights. It wasn't our night but maybe next time if we visit again. Overall great experience.
