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.

We had Jacob as our guide and he was awesome. He encouraged us to get to know the other passengers, made our dinner reservations while we were in the ice museum, made sure everyone was doing well, then when it was late enough, led us up to the best viewing area. Sadly, the lights were not very active, but it was a fantastic tour. We thought the food at Chena Hot springs was very good. The hot springs itself is amazing. There is a tunnel to go from the locker room area into the water, and the water is hot enough that it’s not too bad to get out, and it was -25 when were were there! So glad we did this tour!

It was amazing. Lindley our tour guide was great. Told us so much information and tried so hard to see the lights. It seemed like she went out of her way to make sure we saw a great show. We did!!!! She was funny and friendly and so knowledgeable.
