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.

Had such a great experience on this tour! We didn't expect to have such a great time. The Ice museum, Chena Hot springs were so worth it. Our tour guide was extra helpful especially when it came to viewing the northern lights. We didn't see a whole of them but were able to see just enough to knock it off my bucket list! Great experience!!

Our guide, Jacob, was fantastic! He picked us up on time at our hotel and got us to Chena Hot Springs in plenty time to take part in the ice museum tour. While we were on the tour, he got us reservations at the restaurant so we had very little wait after seeing the ice museum. The food at the restaurant was very delicious and reasonably priced for Alaska. The hike up to the Aurorium was well worth it and gave us a great opportunity to see the lights. While they were not that active, we were able to see them and Jacob even stopped the van on the way back to the hotel to try and give us a better view. I would highly recommend this tour. Once comment on the "resort", it is more like a camp and that makes sense considering where it is located. When viewed as a camp it is quite nice and the people were very friendly and helpful.

This tour was so worth it and Lyndley was the best guide ever! She was so knowledgeable and did everything she could to make sure we saw the lights. Once we saw them come out, she drove to multiple different locations so we could see different views of it. The hot springs and ice museum were great too but nothing compared to seeing the lights! Don’t be idiots like us though and forget cash. We felt awful that we couldn’t tip Lyndley because she definitely deserved it!
