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.

Thus excursion is good value for the money. We didn't rent a car, so the hotel pickup/ drop off was invaluable. The van was a bit cold and the windows were frosted over on the inside, so you couldn't really watch the scenery. The guide was very friendly and talkative. He even managed to get us dinner reservations on a really busy night. You really pack a lot in, ice museum, dinner, hot springs and borealis hunting! It was a cloudy night, but with persistence, our guide found a break in the clouds and we were able to see them! Not as brightly as I hoped, but that is in no way the fault of the guide. It's just an excuse to come back!

We had a wonderful guide, Lynley she was ahmazing. Full of knowledge and stories as was a blast to spend the day with. on the way there keep and eye out for moose we saw quite a few on our drive in. the Aurora ice museum is nice and if you wish you can purchase an appletini in a ice glass, our travel companions said they were tasty!, the restaurant has good food . After time in the hot springs she takes you away from the resort to hunt for the northern lights at multiple spots . this was our 2nd of two tours with this operation and awesome guide!
