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.

Great tour with Alaska Wildlife. Ken our tour guide balanced a solid knowledge of Alaska with an insiders view on the challenges of living in such an amazing place. Even without Mother Nature cooperating on the Northern Lights portion of the tour it still was a highlight of my visit to Fairbanks.

Hello from North Pole, Thank you for the excellent review of your tour, we also love our fall season as the many colors painted across Alaska are beautiful. It is also an amazing end to the night when the Lights put on a show for you. We can never guarantee they will be out but when they do it never disappoints! We hope that you will visit us again soon. Best Regards, Amber

Had a great time on this tour. Clark was our guide and he was fun to talk to and entertaining. The entire van full of folks had a great time. We had a lot of flexibility at the hotsprings property. We were able to do our thing and not feel rushed. The ice museum was neat, the hotsprings pool was relaxing and the northern lights show was spectacular out on the airfield. Overall I had a great time. I highly recommend this tour from Alaska wildlife guide tours.
